🎨 When Sensory Meets Art! 🎨
At Olney Memory Care by Artis, our residents recently enjoyed a creative activity that blended sensory exploration with artistic expression.
Using puffy paint, they crafted beautiful, textured flowers that sparked meaningful engagement. 💖
The bright colors, unique texture, and hands-on nature of the paint made the experience especially stimulating and enjoyable — encouraging our residents to explore, express, and connect through art. 🎨✨
We’re grateful for these special moments that celebrate creativity, individuality, and the power of meaningful engagement.

🦋✨ Learning About the Butterfly Lifecycle ✨🦋
At Olney Memory Care by Artis, we’ve been fluttering into nature and learning all about the fascinating butterfly lifecycle! From tiny eggs to beautiful wings, our residents loved discovering each stage—but the biggest hit? The pupa stage, which we jokingly called the “poop-a!” 😄🦋
Laughter, learning, and a little bit of silliness made this a truly joyful experience. Stay tuned for the grand finale—our butterfly release! 🐛➡️🦋

Who knew a little tape could lead to such beautiful art? 🎨✨
At Olney Memory Care by Artis, our residents tapped into their inner artists with a fun tape painting activity! With just a few strips of tape and some colorful paint, they created bold, vibrant masterpieces!
There’s something so special about watching art unfold and seeing the surprise when the tape comes off to reveal the final design!
We love turning simple materials into moments of magic. 💛

🏒 A Slapshot of Fun at Olney Memory Care! 🏒
Today, our residents laced up their invisible skates and brought their A-game for an exciting round of indoor hockey! With plenty of team spirit, laughter, and friendly competition, our Neighborhood Center was transformed into a lively arena full of cheers and joy.
It was amazing to see everyone get involved—from swinging their sticks with confidence to celebrating those well-earned goals.
Big smiles, even bigger laughs, and a reminder that fun has no limit. Way to go, team Olney—today, everyone was a winner! 🥅💙🏆

📰✂️ Cut, Paste, Create! ✂️📰
At Olney Memory Care by Artis, our residents enjoyed a creative afternoon of magazine scrapbooking! With pictures, glue sticks, and a vision in mind, all they had to do was pick their favorites, arrange them, and seal them in place — and they did so with style!
From beautiful scenes to familiar quotes, each collage reflected the unique personality of its artist.
It was a no-stress, all-fun kind of day — just the way we like it! 💫
