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.

At Artis, we believe some of life's sweetest moments happen when we're All Together doing what we LOVE. 🌿 Our residents had a wonderful time getting their hands a little dirty during horticulture! For many, gardening has been a lifelong passion, and for others, it was a chance to discover the simple joy and therapeutic benefits of working with soil. We learned all about succulents before creating our own unique mini gardens, each one as special as the person who made it. The afternoon was filled with laughter, creativity, great conversation, and plenty of smiles.
Bloom where you're planted, and watch happiness grow. 🌱💚

Yesterday we celebrated 250 years of America with a wonderful Fourth of July celebration! 🇺🇸 Our residents enjoyed classic barbecue favorites, including burgers, hot dogs, and all the delicious fixings that make Independence Day so special.
As we gathered together, we shared stories, reminisced about Fourth of July celebrations through the years, and reflected on the meaning of this important holiday. At Artis, we know that being All Together is what makes every celebration truly memorable.
From our Artis family to yours, we wish you a safe, happy, and patriotic Fourth of July! ❤️🤍💙

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.
