ARTIS REELS
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.

We ‘traveled’ to Ireland 🇮🇪 for St. Patrick’s day! Residents and families enjoyed a festive ‘Around the World Luncheon’ filled with Irish charm, delicious food, lively entertainment and the luck of the Irish. This is how we do it here at Chestnut Ridge. This is the Artis Way! #MemoryCare #AllTogetherNow #ArtisOfChestnutRidge #DementiaAwareness #SaintPatricksDay #AssistedLiving … See MoreSee Less
