🎃 There's something about the smell of candy corn or the crinkle of an old wrapper that pulls you straight back to a specific porch, a costume, a particular autumn night. At Artis we know that our memories live in multisensory experiences so we love watching a resident's face light up the when they experience a favorite candy or smell from the holidays. A caramel can unwrap a whole story about trick-or-treating with a sibling.
This year, we want to hear from you: what was your favorite Halloween candy growing up, and what fond memories does it bring up for you?Tell us in the comments. 🎃

🎃 Is a gourd a vegetable or a fruit? This month at our communities, they became a delightful village, little people, even a coach fit for a princess. Everything was possible at The Artis Gourd Imagination Lab!
With imaginations hard at PLAY, Artis residents explored decorative gourds of every shape and size, enjoying the tactile experience of tracing the bumpy ridges and smooth curves, before transforming them into works of art.
Each texture opened a new doorway to creativity and connection. Thanks to our Life Enrichment teams for making October’s signature Power of Play event a hands-on delight! 💙

🎃 For my final Pass the Mic video, I’m taking you inside October’s Power of Play event at Artis of Lakeview: The Artis Gourd Imagination Lab!
Residents tapped into their creative sides to decorate gourds of all sizes and shapes in their own way. They had a blast, and seeing their masterpieces come together was such a joy. 🎨
It’s the latest in our year-long signature program that brings multi-sensory engagement into everyday life for our residents. Each month introduces a new dimension of play, which research has shown to support well-being while building social connection.
Thank you for following along with me this week! It’s time to wrap up my time with the mic, so stay tuned to see who’s sharing stories of The Artis Way next month! 💙

As dementia progresses, a person may lose the words for “I’m scared” or “my back hurts,” even as the feeling itself stays very real. That means someone else has to notice it for them. A change in expression. A shift in appetite. These small signals matter just as much as the obvious ones, and catching them early can spare a loved one from prolonged discomfort down the road. This is the heart of compassionate end-of-life care: paying close attention, trusting what you see, and responding with dignity and calm.

🎤 Hi, Nena here! My next Pass the Mic video comes to you from the National Museum of Mexican Art here in Chicago. We planned this outing to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month with our residents, and I’m so excited to share these moments with you. 🇲🇽🖼️
Outings are an important part of our programming at Artis, and they require a lot of research and planning. I look closely at how easily residents will be able to move through the space. This includes navigating the entrance, finding comfortable spots to rest, and ensuring their safety. Knowing those details ahead of time lets everyone relax and enjoy the the multi-sensory experience. 💙🎨
Join us tomorrow as we embark on another adventure! 😍
