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.”

We thank everyone who joined us at Artis Senior Living Potomac for our 3rd Annual Fashion Show as we celebrated Cultural Diversity Day with a beautiful “Plate to Table” experience — sharing traditions, culture, and heritage right at the heart of our community.
Today reminded us that diversity is not just about where we come from, but about the stories, memories, and values we bring together as one community. Different cultures, traditions, languages, and generations united in one room created something truly meaningful — a celebration of love, respect, belonging, and pride.
Our residents proudly walked the runway in their traditional clothing, sharing pieces of their life stories through every fabric, color, and smile. The confidence, joy, and pride seen during the fashion show made this event a tremendous success and a beautiful reflection of the lives and journeys that shaped each individual.
At Artis, “Honoring Yesterday” is more than a philosophy — it is a truth we live every day. We honor the roots, traditions, and memories that make each person unique while creating new moments of joy and connection together today.
Residents, families, staff, and community members joined hands in laughter, celebration, and pride as we shared our cultures and traditions with one another. Thank you for making this day unforgettable and for reminding us that when we celebrate our differences, we strengthen our community as one family. ❤️ … See MoreSee Less

May is Mental Health Awareness Month – and at Artis, we know that supporting our residents means supporting the families and caregivers who love them, too.
Caregiving is meaningful work. It's also emotionally demanding in ways that are easy to minimize and hard to sustain alone. Nearly 1 in 4 U.S. adults are currently caring for a loved one – and many are doing so without much support of their own.
To help, we put together some thoughts on how caregivers can protect their well-being, and how friends and family can show up for the caregivers in their lives.🔗 artisseniorliving.com/blog/caring-for-the-caregiver-supporting-mental-health-well-being/
