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.
“I always wanted to paint more … now I paint every day.”

This afternoon our neighbors helped our Culinary Director Steve create one of the coziest marketing projects we have seen. Each jar is filled with hot coco and marshmallows which will be perfect for the snowstorm ahead of us.
Don’t forget it is also important to have a beautiful Artis made coaster ready to go when you enjoy this perfect mug of hot coco.

“Everybody can be great… because anybody can serve.” – Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Today, we honor Dr. King’s legacy of hope, compassion, and unity – the same spirit that inspires how we care for and connect with one another every day at Artis.
From small acts of kindness to big moments of service, we believe dignity, respect, and empathy are the foundation of community. Together, we carry forward his dream – by choosing to lift each other up, listen deeply, and lead with heart. 💙

Being in New England we are no strangers to snow ❄️ so today we brought the snow inside for a sensory experience, building snowman and ice castles while reminiscing of our days playing in the snow. We are truly embracing & enjoying the Power of Play in 2026. ☃️

Recently we worked together to make over 60 banana muffins for our Artis community. We reminisced family recipes, rolled up our sleeves and had a lot of fun at this cooking program.

A few days ago a mysterious wig showed up and we all had fun trying it on, today the neighbors guessed correctly that we were celebrating the country legend Dolly Parton from 9 to 5!
We had trivia, karaoke, dancing and our famous Mocktail Hour where Dolly delighted us with the best Strawberry Pineapple Daiquiris. We love having fun and enjoying music in everything we do.
