May is Mental Health Awareness Month – and at Artis, we know that supporting our residents means supporting the families and caregivers who love them, too.
Caregiving is meaningful work. It's also emotionally demanding in ways that are easy to minimize and hard to sustain alone. Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. adults are currently caring for a loved one – and many are doing so without much support of their own.
To help, we put together some thoughts on how caregivers can protect their well-being, and how friends and family can show up for the caregivers in their lives.🔗 artisseniorliving.com/blog/caring-for-the-caregiver-supporting-mental-health-well-being/

In May, we celebrate moms – like Nancy, mother of five, grandmother of eight, and resident at Artis of Reading in Pennsylvania. Born in Hartford, Connecticut, Nancy studied Child Psychology at Boston University.
Equal parts homemaker and avid traveler, she took a cross-country train to visit California and Florida, and traveled abroad to Sweden, England, Scotland, France, Austria, Italy, Greece, Egypt, Vietnam, Japan, China, Portugal, and Spain. She also played the piano and sang in several choral groups.
Today at Artis, she loves welcoming her family to visit, sharing her warm sense of humor, watching UConn basketball, eating pizza and doing puzzles.
We’re honored to create an environment where Nancy can continue to do the things that enrich her life. See how at ArtisSeniorLiving.com.

🎶 A familiar song. The soft chime of wind through hanging shells. A melody hummed quietly together.
Sound has a unique way of reaching people living with dementia – engaging memory, emotion, and presence in ways that feel natural and unforced.
At Artis, our Power of Play programming uses music, rhythm, and sensory experience to create moments of genuine connection between residents and the people who love them.
This Mother's Day, Artis communities are hosting a special Sound Connection Studio where residents and families will come together to create wind chimes by hand – pausing to listen and explore together.

Everyone except the horses knows that Derby Day is more about how much fun you have – and how fabulous your hat is – than it is about finishing in the money.
Golden Tempo may have crossed the finish line first, but celebrating the sights and sounds and of the fastest two minutes in sports All Together is a win in the Artis book! 🏇🎺🌹👒
