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.

We checked out the new cafe in town- Paris Baguette! 🍰 Our mouthes were watering as we strolled through the many displays of delicious treats trying to decide which one to try. We all enjoyed a nice hot drink with our afternoon pastry. Yummy!

It’s World Kindness day, and who better to celebrate than our DCIs. 💖
Our Directors of Community Integration have a role focused entirely on ensuring residents are welcomed with intention, care plans are aligned holistically, families are communicated with proactively, and Artis associates are supported with robust dementia education from day one.
In other words, they’re the Directors of helping people belong.
Thank you for your kindness, every day!
