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.

🥑 Avo great day? We sure did! 🥑
Nothing says self-care quite like a little avocado-inspired pampering!🤩 Our residents enjoyed relaxing hand massages with avocado lotion, leaving their hands feeling moisturized, hydrated, and oh-so-soft. It was the perfect way to unwind, share a few smiles, and show our hands a little extra love.

Personal choice is essential to dignity and emotional well-being on the dementia journey. While complex decisions may become more challenging with memory loss, simple, sensory-based choices offer opportunities for autonomy and self-expression.
Join us this month at ✅ Celebrating the Freedom to Choose ✅ – our Power of Play signature event! It's an interactive experience where we’ll explore our preferences by “voting” between different options, followed by a family-friendly Open Studio where you can choose a creative program to enjoy together.

🥑 Avocad-Oh-So Happy Hour! 🥑
We're kicking off Appreciating Avocados All July Long with an avocad-oh-so delicious Happy Hour! Chef James treated everyone to a fresh and flavorful small bite featuring creamy avocado topped with zesty pico de gallo.
Chef James also shared interesting facts about the different types of avocados, giving our residents the opportunity to touch, feel, and compare them. This hands-on experience sparked conversation, curiosity, and plenty of smiles while engaging the senses.
Here's to a month filled with fresh flavors, fun experiences, and celebrating all things avocado!
