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.

When was the last time someone asked how you’re doing?
Not as the daughter. Not as the caregiver. As a person. July 24 was International Self-Care Day – and if you're caring for a loved one living with dementia, this one is for you. More than 53 million Americans provide unpaid care each year. The exhaustion is real. So is the guilt that often comes with taking a break. But here's a reminder worth holding onto: your loved one doesn't need a perfect caregiver. They need a healthy one. Self-care isn't selfish – it’s how you keep showing up with love. 🫶

Our residents got some "fresh ink" today! 🌸🦋
In honor of National Tattoo Day, we broke out the temporary tattoos! The runaway favorites on the unit were definitely the beautiful florals and colorful butterflies. Our residents had an absolute blast picking out their designs and proudly showing off their new artwork!
It was a simple, unexpected activity that brought out so many smiles, great conversations, and a wonderful pop of color to our afternoon.

Bonjour from our little slice of Paris! 🇫🇷🥖
We celebrated Bastille Day in style this week! Our residents tapped into their creative sides to craft miniature French flags, and we rounded out the afternoon by sharing some delicious, French-themed appetizers and refreshments.
Despite France's tough loss to Spain in the World Cup semi-finals, our spirits remained high! It was a beautiful afternoon filled with great food, wonderful company, and plenty of joy. Vive la France! ✨
