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.

What happens when you mix a little creativity, some paint-filled balloons, and a beautiful afternoon outdoors? A whole lot of colorful fun!
This afternoon, our residents took creativity outside for our Paint Splash Project, designing canvases in a way that was anything but ordinary! Armed with balloons filled with paint and water, they took aim, tossed them onto the canvases, and watched as each balloon burst open to create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece. The best part? You never knew exactly how the next splash would turn out!
A huge thank you to Emily from Suncrest Hospice – Philadelphia, PA for giving us a hand and joining in on the fun this afternoon. We couldn’t have asked for a more colorful day!

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.

Yesterday, Helen officially joined the 101 Club! And because turning 101 is kind of a big deal, we decided one day of celebrating just wasn’t enough!
Today, we kept the party going with something Helen loves… an ice cream sundae! Because at 101, life’s sweetest moments don’t have to be complicated. Sometimes all you need is a scoop of ice cream, your favorite toppings, and people who love celebrating right alongside you!
And honestly, after 100, we’re pretty sure the calories don’t count anyway!
Here’s to 101 amazing years, plenty of sweet memories, and always saying yes to dessert—and jimmy’s!

Today, Siobhan guided us through Tai Chi inspired by Wang Ziping’s 24-Posture Qigong. Each movement encourages mindfulness, balance, flexibility, and a connection between the mind, body, and spirit.
Fun fact: Wang Ziping was a legendary Chinese martial artist whose incredible feats helped inspire the spirit behind Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon!
