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.

Love was in the air at our beautiful Couples Valentine’s Luncheon! Our lucky couples enjoyed a formal lunch featuring delicious steak and scallops. 🥩🦐
For dessert, couples shared an elegant selection of French pastries paired with coffee — the perfect sweet ending. ☕🥐
The afternoon was made even more special as Howard Cohen filled the room with romantic cello music 🎻, and couples took to the floor to dance together. It was a wonderful celebration of love, laughter, and lasting partnerships. 💕✨

Residents participated in Power of Play: Heart & Hand, a beautiful program focused on healing and connection. 💖
Together, we explored ways to open our heart chakra — learning how to accept love more freely and release pain and suffering. Through a series of gentle heart-centered exercises, everyone embraced the power of positivity and self-care.
We then shifted our focus to our hands, practicing simple everyday exercises to help reduce stiffness and ease discomfort. 🤲✨
To end our session, each resident enjoyed a relaxing hand massage. We first applied nourishing Vitamin E, followed by soothing lavender lotion to fully unwind and relax. 🌿💆♀️
It was a meaningful afternoon of movement, mindfulness, and self-love. 💕

💗 This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating love in all its forms – tender, playful, and beautifully human. Here’s a little poem for our residents, families, and associates.
Roses are red,
Our logo is blue,
There’s nowhere more joyful
Than Artis with you.
There’s laughter at breakfast,
And dancing at noon,
Someone’s requesting
That Elvis song soon.
Care partners appear
With a smile right on cue,
And somehow remember
You like extra juice.
We celebrate stories,
We celebrate snacks,
We celebrate moments
That keep giving back.
To residents we cherish,
To associates we adore
You’re the reason love lives
In these halls evermore.
So here’s to this place
Where big hearts stay true
Happy Valentine’s Day
We truly love you.
