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.

🫶 This holiday season at Artis, we’re celebrating connection, creativity, and care – the Artis Way!
Our residents, families, and associates are coming together to create Artis Comfort Boxes – personalized keepsake boxes filled with favorite memories, photos, and meaningful items that bring comfort and joy.
Each box tells a story, nurtures the senses, and reminds our residents that they are safe, loved, and treasured. We’ll keep creating these together throughout the year – because comfort and play are gifts that never go out of season.
