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.

As part of our commitment to supporting our local community, Artis Senior Living of Brick is proud to host a Back-to-School School Supply Drive benefiting The Village Foster Closet of Point Pleasant.
Many people are surprised to learn that children entering foster care often do so with very few personal belongings, sometimes carrying everything they own in a small bag. Foster families frequently take on unexpected expenses for clothing, school supplies, toiletries, backpacks, shoes, and other everyday essentials while helping children adjust to a new environment. These items may seem small, but they can make a tremendous difference in helping a child feel comfortable, confident, and cared for during an already difficult transition.
We invite our families, friends, and professional partners to help us give local children the tools they need for a successful school year. The children have specifically requested clear backpacks, as well as traditional backpacks, along with reusable water bottles, notebooks, folders, pencils, crayons, markers, and other school supplies.
Donations can be dropped off in the collection box located in our lobby. Every contribution, no matter the size, helps make a meaningful difference for a child preparing to head back to school. Together, we can help provide foster children and the families caring for them with the support and resources they need to start the school year feeling prepared, valued, and ready to succeed.
Thank you for helping us spread a little extra kindness and support throughout our community. Together, we can help send kids back to school with confidence and care.
🎒 Help us reach our goal before the collection ends on August 25th!
📍 Donation collection box located in the Artis Senior Living of Brick lobby. 📚❤️

It’s that time of year, when students return to the classroom for a new year of learning.
At Artis, we’re helping our residents continue to learn, grow, and engage with the world through the Power of Play. For people living with dementia, learning can evolve into practicing familiar skills and sharing what they know with others.

In honor of National Watermelon Day and the Artis-wide Summer Showdown Watermelon Carving Contest, Chef Arthur showcased his creativity with a Día de los Muertos-inspired watermelon carving. He also prepared a beautiful seasonal appetizer featuring compressed watermelon, whipped ricotta, heirloom tomatoes, fresh chives, sea salt, and delicate orchid petals.
At Artis, we love finding creative ways to celebrate the season through food, artistry, and memorable culinary experiences. Thank you, Chef Arthur, for bringing your talent and creativity to the table!
