We are all humans seeking purpose, belonging and joy. At Artis, we help our fellow humans achieve these essential needs by building a bridge between their lifelong identity and present daily life.
World Alzheimer's Day is a global effort to raise awareness and challenge the stigmas around the disease and other forms of dementia.
Today and every day, we support the families living with it, and those working to find a cure.

We had our wonderful concierge and her band “Knot a Band Trio” perform for us on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Our Patio was packed with neighbors, family, and care partners singing along. At Artis, our Life Enrichment Department love to take our staff’s recreation interests and work together to create collaborative programming for our community. It is another way we set ourselves apart. #TheArtisWay #MemoryCare #alltogether … See MoreSee Less

On this last day of Assisted Living Appreciation Week, we held a neighborhood raffle! During lunch our Director of Life Enrichment Helen went to each neighborhood and picked a room number from the bag, the winners receive a lovely fall basket filled with room decorations. It was such a fun time cheering on the winners, we are excited to do more neighborhood raffles in the future. #TheArtisWay #memorycare #thoughtfulnesswins #raffle … See MoreSee Less
