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.

🫶 This holiday season at Artis, we’re celebrating connection, creativity, and care – the Artis Way!
Our residents, families, and associates are coming together to create Artis Comfort Boxes – personalized keepsake boxes filled with favorite memories, photos, and meaningful items that bring comfort and joy.
Each box tells a story, nurtures the senses, and reminds our residents that they are safe, loved, and treasured. We’ll keep creating these together throughout the year – because comfort and play are gifts that never go out of season.

🍂 A Look Back at November at Olney 🍂
This past month was filled with meaningful engagement, and plenty of smiles. From Thrive Through Therapy with RSI, to the excitement and friendly competition of Bingo, to our heartwarming Kindness Parade that brought joy to every corner of our neighborhood — November was a month full of fun.
And in between the big events were the everyday moments that matter just as much!
There’s so much happening each day that it’s impossible to capture it all, but here are just a few of the moments that made November shine.

🟢 Olney and the Oobleck 🟢
Today at Olney Memory Care by Artis, we brought a classic Dr. Seuss tale to life! Our residents enjoyed a hands-on science activity as we made our very own oobleck — the magical, mysterious substance from “Bartholomew and the Oobleck.”
We started by reading the story together, then rolled up our sleeves to mix, stir, squish, and explore this silly, slimy, and surprisingly therapeutic creation. The room was filled with laughter, curiosity, and lots of green hands!
What a fun, imaginative day at Olney! ✨
