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.

A little fresh air, a little sunshine, and a whole lot of smiles 🌿☀️
Today our residents enjoyed a beautiful outing to the National Arboretum, taking in the peaceful views, blooming greenery, and even a glimpse of the iconic columns. There’s something special about getting out together—watching the scenery pass by, sharing quiet moments, and soaking in the beauty of the day.
Each outing is thoughtfully selected and curated based on our residents’ interests and level of mobility, making sure everyone can comfortably and meaningfully enjoy the experience. Our programming team also takes resident requests and offers outings on a weekly basis, giving everyone something to look forward to.

Live music days are always a hit at Olney 🤍
We had the pleasure of welcoming Vince Borelli back to our community, and as always, he brought the energy, the smiles, and a whole lot of sing-alongs. From the first chord, you could see residents tapping their feet, clapping along, and just being fully in the moment.

Getting our hands a little dirty and our hearts a little fuller 🌱💚
Today was all about planting, laughter, and celebrating Earth Day together. From potting fresh herbs to sharing smiles (and a few photo booth moments 📸), these are the moments that make our community feel like home.
There’s something special about seeing everyone come together, enjoying the simple joy of nurturing something and watching it grow—just like the connections we build every day.

What does person-centered dementia care really look like?
We’re proud to be a sponsor of the upcoming Sara and Samuel J. Lessans Healthcare Symposium, featuring renowned dementia educator Teepa Snow.
At Olney Memory Care by Artis, this approach is at the heart of what we do every day—getting to know each resident’s story, creating moments of joy, and supporting families along the way.
We’re excited to be part of a day focused on learning, sharing, and continuing to improve how we care for those living with dementia.

Happy Earth Day! 🌍🌱
Today, we pause to honor Mother Nature – the sunshine streaming through the windows, the flowers coming into bloom, and the simple pleasure of getting our hands a little dirty in the garden.
However you connect with nature today, we hope it brings you joy!
