Real people. Real moments. Real Artis.

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.

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.

There's something powerful about stepping outside on a warm summer morning – the feel of sun on your face, birdsong in the background, and the smell of flowers blooming nearby. 🌻
Time outdoors is especially essential to well-being for people on the dementia journey. Here’s why:
☀️ Sunlight boosts Vitamin D production, supporting health, mobility, and mood
💤 Being outside in the daytime helps regulate sleep and reduce late-day confusion
🌳 Connecting with nature sparks sense memories in unique ways
Learn more about how Artis embraces the summer season to support residents through our Power of Play programming.
