ARTIS REELS
Real people. Real moments. Real Artis.
Watch how our residents and team members bring our value of “Inspired Well-Being”
to life in every story.
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.
“I always wanted to paint more … now I paint every day.”

A little friendly competition goes a long way! 🏒💛
Our residents enjoyed a lively game of seated floor hockey, getting in some great exercise while sharing plenty of laughs. From teamwork to a little healthy competition, everyone had a wonderful time staying active and engaged. We can't wait for the next game! 💪✨

Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
At Artis, we always value the time we spend around the table with the people we care about – and the food we love. Today, we’re also celebrating something simple yet powerful: the freedom to choose.
🇺🇸Which brings us to an important question. What favorite dish at a cookout gets your taste buds tingling?
🤔 Let us know in the comments! 🍔

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.
