💗 This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating love in all its forms – tender, playful, and beautifully human. Here’s a little poem for our residents, families, and associates.
Roses are red,
Our logo is blue,
There’s nowhere more joyful
Than Artis with you.
There’s laughter at breakfast,
And dancing at noon,
Someone’s requesting
That Elvis song soon.
Care partners appear
With a smile right on cue,
And somehow remember
You like extra juice.
We celebrate stories,
We celebrate snacks,
We celebrate moments
That keep giving back.
To residents we cherish,
To associates we adore
You’re the reason love lives
In these halls evermore.
So here’s to this place
Where big hearts stay true
Happy Valentine’s Day
We truly love you.

🫶 Touch is more than just comfort – it’s an essential form of communication and emotional bonding. For individuals living with dementia, physical touch often remains one of the last sensory languages that feels familiar. A held hand, a gentle massage, or a warm hug can communicate safety, recognition, and love, long after verbal communication becomes challenging.
Explore how touch comes to life at Artis, in both structured programming and routine moments of daily living – and learn 10 ways families can incorporate therapeutic touch during visits! bit.ly/4rbwyHF

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! Check our Event Calendar for dates and times.
