Artis Virtual Workshop for Families
In dementia care, play can be a powerful way to connect. In this family-focused webinar, dementia trainer and consultant Rebekah Wilson, MSW, shares how everyday interactions can become opportunities for engagement and joy.
Through real-life examples, you’ll discover how small shifts in your approach can strengthen your relationship with your loved one – and come away feeling more confident and equipped with practical tools to create calmer, more meaningful moments together.

Real people. Real moments. Real Artis.
Watch how our residents and team members bring our value of “Inspired Well-Being”
to life in every story.
Maverick shares the joy of seeing his grandmother thrive at Artis — from compassionate care to creative expression through art. “It’s just a joy,” he says, watching her engage and connect in a place where genuine people support and uplift each resident.
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.
