Throughout March, we’re exploring Play as Curiosity at Artis! 🔎
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics – or STEM – programs help people on the dementia journey by organizing environmental input and engaging multiple senses simultaneously.
Join us later this month for our Power of Play signature event! 🧠 The Inventive Minds Wonder Workshop 🧠 is a multisensory, STEM-based program where we’ll explore light, shadow, movement, and simple inventions – encouraging curiosity and problem-solving, supporting fine-motor skills, and building confidence.
Talk to our Director of Life Enrichment for details!

Yesterday, we had the honor of hosting a truly meaningful book signing and caregiver conversation here at Olney Memory Care.
We are deeply grateful to Michael Tarka, author of One More Day and Forever Bound, for sharing his heartfelt story of loving and caring for his wife through Alzheimer’s disease. His words reminded us all that even when caregiving feels overwhelming, love, presence, and connection continue to shine through.
Thank you as well to Steve Lorberbaum for offering compassionate guidance and encouragement to families navigating the caregiving journey.
We are incredibly proud of our Olney Memory Care by Artis team, who show this same compassion and dedication to our residents and families every single day. It was a beautiful reminder that no one walks this journey alone. 💜
Thank you to everyone who joined us and shared in such a special moment.
