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.

July Power of Play-Freedom ❤️🤍💙
Residents and guests took part in a series of friendly votes, giving everyone the opportunity to choose how the afternoon would unfold. The options included Classic Country vs. Big Band music, Popcorn vs. Chocolate Chip Cookies, Maracas vs. Tambourines, and two patriotic craft choices: a Popsicle Stick Flag or a Star Ribbon Band.
After the votes were tallied, Classic Country was the clear favorite, providing the soundtrack for the afternoon as residents and guests sang along, tapped their feet, and kept the rhythm with maracas, which also won the vote. Whether enjoying a sweet or salty snack, creating patriotic crafts, or simply spending time together, everyone had the chance to participate in the activities they enjoyed most.
The combination of music, movement, creativity, and choice made for a lively and engaging afternoon. Most importantly, it brought residents, families, guests, and team members together for an event filled with connection, laughter, and plenty of smiles!
Thank you so much to everyone who helped set up, support, and carry out our Power of Play event. Your teamwork helped make the day run seamlessly from start to finish. The energy in the room and the enthusiasm from everyone involved made it clear that the event was a wonderful success.

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.
