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.”

The community was filled with songs we love from the 60’s and 70’s performed by the very entertaining Vincent Rodriguez Acoustic! 🎶 We would argue there is no better way to end a show than with “Sweet Caroline”! Take a peak into what our afternoon was like.

Happy National Dress Up Your Pet Day! 🐶
We hosted a pet costume contest with some very cute visitors today! The competition was tough, but Tom’s dog, Pixel, won the prize for best costume in her Wonder Woman suit! In addition to Wonder Woman, we had Scruffy in his pajamas, Harley the purple mermaid, and Miska the giant s’mores. All the pets went home with a special treat bag put together by our Ambassadors group.
For the humans, we enjoyed some weenies and martinis for this doggy themed party! 🌭🍸
