Few communities can provide the remarkable outdoor setting our residents enjoy every day. From our beloved turkey family, a mother, father, and baby turkey, to the many other wildlife visitors that frequent our grounds, nature is always close at hand. Combined with our secure 12,000-square-foot outdoor living area, these special moments bring comfort, joy, and connection to our residents.

This Labor Day, we’re celebrating the people who make life meaningful – with barbeques, visits, and a little extra end of summer fun.
Here’s to the hands that have built, cared, served, taught, created, and contributed throughout a lifetime – and to a day well spent with the people we love.
Happy Labor Day from all of us at Artis! 🇺🇸

For World Letter Writing Day, we’re putting pen to paper at Artis!Writing or dictating a letter can encourage self-expression, spark conversation, engage language and memory, and create something special to share with the people we love. For people living with dementia, it can be a wonderful starting point for connection. Not sure what to write? Here are some prompts to get you started. 📝
The perfect letter doesn’t need perfect spelling, beautiful handwriting, or even a stamp. Sometimes the joy is simply in remembering, laughing, and sharing the story together.
