Real people. Real moments. Real Artis.

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.

Lynn, an extremely talented family member at West Shore came in with her handbell choir, the First Methodist Church Praise Ringers! 🔔 🎶
This group is so talented, that they are 1 of 6 groups from the U.S. to be playing in Scotland!
We were so honored to hear their beautiful music and witness the holiday spirit that shined from our residents!
