An Artis Virtual Workshop for Families
End of life is something most people don’t want to talk about. We often do not have the proper documents or discussions with our families when they are physically and cognitively able. Join us for an informative program led by End-of-Life Doula Chelsea Duckers about ways to help ensure a dying person’s wishes are honored, and everyone is prepared for the journey.

On World Alzheimer's Day, we honor the genuine, human experience of families navigating the dementia journey — the late-night questions, the worry, the grief for someone who's still right in front of you. We also celebrate what we know living with Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia can be – meaningful days filled with purpose. Connection. Belonging. JOY.
💙With a thoughtfully designed environment, discreet care and opportunities for social connection, and cognitive health support, inspired well-being is possible.
That's "The Artis Way."
If a family you know needs support with caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s, share our helpful resources and tools: artisseniorliving.com/family-resources/
