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.

Real people. Real moments. Real Artis.

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.

Today was National Chili Day so of course we had a chili demo in the morning and then let the crockpot do its magic for a few hours. We were so excited to finally taste it after smelling it cook all day. A cornbread crumble on top was the final touch.
