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.

ARTIS SENIOR LIVING OF WOODBURY AT THE 2026 WOODBURY SENIOR EXPO
The Artis Living of Woodbury team had a wonderful time connecting with the Woodbury community at the 2026 Woodbury Senior Expo!
Linda Lemke, Executive Director, and Carrie Speidel, Director of Sales and Marketing, were there representing Artis and sharing what makes our community so special.
The team had so much fun meeting local seniors, families, community members, and fellow senior care professionals while sharing the Artis values of purpose, dignity, connection, compassion, and living life to the fullest.
It was especially meaningful to hear stories, answer questions, make new connections, and share how Artis creates a safe, supportive, engaging environment where people living with dementia can continue to experience joy, purpose, friendship, and meaningful moments every day.
We also loved having our friends and care partners from Bristol Hospice right next to us. Let’s just say the positive energy between our tables was contagious!
Thank you to everyone who stopped by to visit with us. We are grateful to be part of such a wonderful community and look forward to continuing to build relationships and serve Woodbury and the surrounding areas.
Artis Senior Living of Woodbury, where connection, purpose, and the power of play come together!
