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.

Families don’t have to navigate the dementia journey alone. Some of the most meaningful support comes from connecting with others who are walking the same path, with guidance from trained facilitators who can help make sense of what you’re experiencing.
At Artis, we create safe, welcoming spaces where families can connect, share honestly, and learn together. Throughout 2026, our monthly Family Support Groups focus on ways to reduce stress, restore emotional balance, and create meaningful connection. All families are welcome – join us!

Touch is a universal language of connection – and research shows it increases oxytocin and serotonin, the body’s natural bonding and calming chemicals. A held hand, a gentle massage, and a warm hug communicate safety and belonging.
Join us for February’s Power of Play Signature Event, the 🫶Heart & Hands Valentine Café 🫶 – a multisensory shared experience where music, touch, tactile art, and culinary play help to strengthen emotional bonds, build trust and confidence, and restore calm. 🩷 🤲
Talk to our Director of Life Enrichment for details!
