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.

🎄 Christmas Caroling with The Salvation Army 🎶
Today was truly heartwarming! The Salvation Army joined us for festive caroling, filling our community with music and joy. They generously brought flowers and cozy blankets for all of our residents and staff, and their kindness didn’t go unnoticed. Many of our residents became emotional with happiness — a beautiful reminder of the power of compassion during the holiday season. ❤️✨

Zumba mode: ON!
Residents and staff shimmied, shook, and proved once again that Chestnut Ridge has the best dance floor energy around. Who needs a gym when you’ve got moves like these?
