People living with dementia benefit from engagement that respects the full richness of who they are – their curiosity, their history, and their natural desire to explore. Through intentionally designed sensory and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)-based programs at Artis, we tap into universal human impulses: touch, movement, light, sound, building, testing, trying, and creating – helping regulate the nervous system and support emotional well-being.
See how our programs help residents connect, discover, and experience joy in ways that feel natural and purposeful – and learn 10 ways families can incorporate STEM experiences during visits! artisseniorliving.com/blog/how-sensory-stem-play-supports-people-on-the-dementia-journey/

Horticulture club is a big hit here in Commack! We love it so much that we’ve added our horticulture club to every week!
This weeks lesson was about St. Patrick’s Day and the symbolism of clovers and sage! We first learned about the holiday and Irish folklore before moving into the project portion. What a fun way to learn something new! 🍀☘️💛 #HorticultureClub #ArtisticExpression #LifeLongLearning #TheArtisWay … See MoreSee Less
