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 month we asked our residents for their Words of Wisdom for first time parents as our Director of Life Enrichment, Jenn Krumholtz, awaits the arrival of her bundle of joy! 👶🏻🍼
A reoccurring theme was to simply spend as much time as you can with baby holding them and giving them all the love and cuddles! 💕
