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.

It’s World Kindness day, and who better to celebrate than our DCIs. 💖
Our Directors of Community Integration have a role focused entirely on ensuring residents are welcomed with intention, care plans are aligned holistically, families are communicated with proactively, and Artis associates are supported with robust dementia education from day one.
In other words, they’re the Directors of helping people belong.
Thank you for your kindness, every day!
