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.”

Happy Grandparents’ Day! 💙
Grandparents teach us so much – even when they’re just spending time with us.
Whether it's a recipe passed down through generations, a story you've heard a hundred times and still love, or a piece of advice that stuck, grandparents have a way of shaping us in ways we don't always notice until much later.
Today, at Artis, we're bringing generations together and celebrating the love and wisdom grandparents continue to share.
Tell us in the comments what your grandparent taught you! 💬

Today marks the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year – a time for reflection, renewal, and hope for the year ahead. It's tradition to dip apples in honey, a simple gesture that carries a big wish: for a sweet new year, for all of us. 🍎 🍯
At Artis, it’s an opportunity to honor each other's stories and make space to celebrate the traditions and faiths we hold dear.
Shanah Tovah Umtukah!

🇺🇸 We Remember.On Patriot Day, we pause to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the courage of the first responders who ran toward danger, and the countless families whose lives were forever changed.
Today, we hold space for those stories and honor all who were impacted — with gratitude and compassion.
We remember those we lost. We honor those who served. And we stand with the families who carry their memory forward. 🇺🇸

Balance is more than physical steadiness. For people living with dementia, it’s tied to how the brain processes movement, spatial awareness, and timing – which means changes in balance often show up alongside changes in memory and thinking.
At Artis, we build rhythm and guided movement into everyday life. A marching movement set to music, done standing, seated, or supported, gives residents a steady beat to follow instead of a set of steps to remember. Small, repeated movement builds comfort. Comfort builds confidence – and confidence opens the door to participation.
