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.

Today we visited Faraway Farm for a special tour of their alpaca farm, and it was the perfect day to be outdoors! We enjoyed meeting the alpacas and hearing the unique story behind how each one came to the farm. Along the way, we also met some of the other friendly animals who came right up to greet us.
After spending time with the animals, we toured their beautiful shop, filled with handmade items crafted from alpaca fiber. It was a wonderful experience from start to finish, filled with fresh air, learning, and lots of smiles! … See MoreSee Less

Honoring Yesterday, Celebrating Today.
At Artis, this is how we show up every single day, for the residents, their friends and families we serve on the dementia journey.
"Honoring yesterday" means seeing the whole person including their stories, their identities, and the life they’ve lived.
“Celebrating today" means creating moments of joy, connection, and purpose right now.
Just as important, we do this for each other.
Our associates and leaders bring this philosophy to life in ways that are deeply human and uniquely their own through compassion, creativity, patience, and a commitment to always do better.
Today, we’re celebrating some of those leaders by celebrating who they were, who they’ve become, and the impact they make every day across our communities.
