Real people. Real moments. Real Artis.
Watch how our residents and team members bring our value of “Inspired Well-Being”

Maverick shares the joy of seeing his grandmother thrive at Artis — from compassionate care to creative expression through art. “It’s just a joy,” he says, watching her engage and connect in a place where genuine people support and uplift each resident.
Life Enrichment at Artis is powered by people with the training, heart, and intuition to transform everyday moments into meaningful experiences. Meet Marlene, one of our Life Enrichment Directors, whose superpower is discovering what brings each resident to life.

Then & Now: The Artis Way
From little dreamers to community leaders. Today, we’re celebrating our directors by sharing a glimpse of their childhood alongside who they are now — a beautiful reminder that every stage of life holds joy, growth, and purpose.
At Great Falls Memory Care by Artis, we honor the stories that brought us here and celebrate the moments we’re creating together today. We’re celebrating the power of both individual contributions and unified teamwork. Every person brings something unique and together we create something truly impactful. We are grateful for each individual who shows up with heart and for the incredible teamwork that brings our mission to life. When personal dedication meets collective effort, amazing things happen.
Honoring yesterday. Celebrating today. Cherishing every chapter.

Weep no more, my lady … it’s Kentucky Derby Day!
An event so steeped in tradition is a great reason to celebrate at Artis. The song “My Old Kentucky Home” is one of the most widely recognized and performed songs in music history. And everyone knows the bugle playing the call to the post means it’s time for the fun to begin! Familiar songs ground our identity and spark some of our residents’ earliest memories.
Who crosses the wire first isn’t as important as getting to spend a fun spring day with our favorite fans. 🏇🌹👗

Hear that? It’s the sound of families exploring Play as Connection throughout May.
Join us later this month at our Power of Play signature event – The Mother’s Day Sound Connection Studio, an experience that centers on sound, listening, and presence that goes beyond words.
We’ll gather to create wind chimes that soothe and connect us in the moment – and become a keepsake and reminder of the bonds we share. 🎐💙
