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.

Our community had an unforgettable time celebrating World Wildlife Day yesterday! 🐐🐰🐔
Residents enjoyed petting and spending time with chickens, sheep, bunnies, and even baby goats. For those who once lived the farm life, it was a beautiful opportunity to reminisce and share cherished stories. For others who simply love animals, it was pure joy bringing a little bit of the wildlife world indoors.
The smiles said it all our residents truly appreciated the beauty, comfort, and happiness these special visitors brought to our community. Even our associates are already asking when the farm will be back! 💛

Throughout March, we’re exploring Play as Curiosity at Artis! 🔎
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics – or STEM – programs help people on the dementia journey by organizing environmental input and engaging multiple senses simultaneously.
Join us later this month for our Power of Play signature event! 🧠 The Inventive Minds Wonder Workshop 🧠 is a multisensory, STEM-based program where we’ll explore light, shadow, movement, and simple inventions – encouraging curiosity and problem-solving, supporting fine-motor skills, and building confidence.
Talk to our Director of Life Enrichment for details!

What a blizzard to remember! ❄️ We spent our snow day the best way…hot chocolate, chicken noodle soup (with grilled cheese… obviously), snow-day snacks / junk food, and sharing stories about what we love most about winter. While we miss our sunshine and beautiful back patio, our community was full of smiles, laughter, and fun programs. A day all together is always the best day!
A huge thank you to our incredible associates. Your dedication especially during longer, more stressful shifts is the reason behind these smiles. We are so grateful for all you do!
