Families don’t have to navigate the dementia journey alone. Some of the most meaningful support comes from connecting with others who are walking the same path, with guidance from trained facilitators who can help make sense of what you’re experiencing.
At Artis, we create safe, welcoming spaces where families can connect, share honestly, and learn together. Throughout 2026, our monthly Family Support Groups focus on ways to reduce stress, restore emotional balance, and create meaningful connection. All families are welcome – join us!

Touch is a universal language of connection – and research shows it increases oxytocin and serotonin, the body’s natural bonding and calming chemicals. A held hand, a gentle massage, and a warm hug communicate safety and belonging.
Join us for February’s Power of Play Signature Event, the 🫶Heart & Hands Valentine Café 🫶 – a multisensory shared experience where music, touch, tactile art, and culinary play help to strengthen emotional bonds, build trust and confidence, and restore calm. 🩷 🤲

This month – and every month – Artis celebrates the voices, achievements, and stories of our residents, associates, and partners.

Due to the snowstorm, we had to reschedule this special gathering — and we truly appreciate everyone’s understanding. We’re grateful for your patience and can’t wait to come together soon.
New date: 📅 February 25th 3-5pm
This meaningful event will focus on managing stress, caring for yourself, and finding helpful resources — all in a kind, understanding, and completely judgment-free space.
After the talk, we are honored to host a book signing with resident spouse, Mr. Tarka, author of Forever Bound — a touching collection of poems written for his wife living with dementia. His words reflect devotion, presence, and the small moments of love that still mean so much every day.
✨ The first 20 guests will receive a complimentary signed copy of Forever Bound ✨
This event is open to families, caregivers, friends, and community members. Whether you are actively caregiving or simply looking for connection, support, and encouragement — we would love to welcome you.
💛 Come learn, reflect, and share a meaningful moment together.
Thank you again for your grace and understanding — we look forward to seeing you on 2/25. … See MoreSee Less

🎉✨ Happy Birthday, Dolly Parton! ✨🎶
Last week we celebrated the Queen of Country in true Dolly style at Olney Memory Care by Artis! Residents enjoyed a fun-filled afternoon with Dolly’s greatest hits playing throughout the community — sparking memories, sing‑alongs, and lots of smiles. 💛🎤
And what’s a Dolly celebration without some Southern comfort? We served delicious pulled pork and coleslaw sandwiches that everyone absolutely loved! 🥪🤠 Thanks to Danny & the Culinary Team.
It was a joyful day honoring a true music legend and creating warm, connected moments with one another.
📸 Enjoy a peek at the celebration!
