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.

This week, our community was filled with extra joy as little and large puppy paws made their rounds, bringing comfort, smiles, and plenty of warm snuggles. Our residents lit up with every wag and every cuddle… the simplest moments often make the biggest difference.
Alongside the puppy love, we spent time writing our holiday letters home. At Artis, we believe deeply in maintaining and celebrating our lifelong abilities… and writing is one of the most meaningful ways our residents express themselves. Whether it’s sharing a memory, sending love, or simply signing their name, these letters help keep connections strong and remind us all of the power in putting pen to paper.
We’re grateful for a week filled with companionship, creativity, and heartfelt expression. 💛🐶✍️

🫶 This holiday season at Artis, we’re celebrating connection, creativity, and care – the Artis Way!
Our residents, families, and associates are coming together to create Artis Comfort Boxes – personalized keepsake boxes filled with favorite memories, photos, and meaningful items that bring comfort and joy.
Each box tells a story, nurtures the senses, and reminds our residents that they are safe, loved, and treasured. We’ll keep creating these together throughout the year – because comfort and play are gifts that never go out of season.

✨ Thoughtfulness Wins — Giving Tuesday at Artis of Potomac ✨
Today, our community is overflowing with heart.
This Giving Tuesday, our residents, families, and team members came together with one purpose: to lift others through simple acts of thoughtfulness.
At Artis of Potomac, we believe that kindness doesn’t need to be grand to be powerful. Every donated item, every shared smile, every moment spent preparing care packages for our service workers and neighbors in need—all of it matters.
💙 Thoughtfulness wins when we choose compassion.
💙 Thoughtfulness wins when we show up for our community.
💙 Thoughtfulness wins when our residents lead with purpose and heart.
Today was a beautiful reminder that giving is not just something we do—
it’s who we are.
Thank you to everyone who contributed, participated, or supported from afar. Your generosity is helping bring warmth, comfort, and dignity to others this winter season.
Feeling inspired, grateful, and proud of our Artis Potomac family. 💫
Happy Giving Tuesday!
