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.

Music therapy has a way of reaching the heart long before words do. 🎶
From boosting mood to sparking memories and connection, the benefits are truly remarkable.

🫶 This holiday season at Artis, we’re celebrating connection, creativity, and care – the Artis Way!

Our residents, families, and associates are coming together to create Artis Comfort Boxes – personalized keepsake boxes filled with favorite memories, photos, and meaningful items that bring comfort and joy.

Each box tells a story, nurtures the senses, and reminds our residents that they are safe, loved, and treasured. We’ll keep creating these together throughout the year – because comfort and play are gifts that never go out of season.

While Winter Storm Chan moved through our area, freezing temperatures reminded us that even seasoned snow pros prepare for the cold! As we kept our residents cozy and safe, we also want to remind everyone to stay warm, check on neighbors, and use extra caution when traveling.❄️

Families, remember you’re always just a video or phone call away from your loved ones here. Our residents enjoyed warm cocoa, uplifting music, arts and crafts, neighborly games, and more — all in a safe, cozy environment. 🩵

If you know a family needing extra support this season, we’re here to help.
