People living with dementia benefit from engagement that respects the full richness of who they are – their curiosity, their history, and their natural desire to explore. Through intentionally designed sensory and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics)-based programs at Artis, we tap into universal human impulses: touch, movement, light, sound, building, testing, trying, and creating – helping regulate the nervous system and support emotional well-being.

See how our programs help residents connect, discover, and experience joy in ways that feel natural and purposeful – and learn 10 ways families can incorporate STEM experiences during visits! https://artisseniorliving.com/blog/how-sensory-stem-play-supports-people-on-the-dementia-journey/

The power of play! 🎉

Our residents enjoyed a wonderful day out at Dave & Buster’s for lunch and games. Laughter and excitement filled the afternoon. When a resident says, “This is so much fun,” you know you picked the perfect outing.

That’s the power of play at Artis.

Irish eyes were smiling at Artis today! ☘️

The incredibly talented dancers from Scoil Rince Riordan Dance School brought the spirit of Ireland to our community. Residents clapped, sang along, and were unbelievably happy as the dancers filled the room with energy and tradition.

Thank you for such a wonderful performance and for bringing so much joy and happiness to our residents. Their smiles say it all! 💚

Today we wore purple 💜

A color that represents connection, respect, and the meaningful moments we create together each day. At Artis, it’s the little things — shared laughter, kind gestures, and time spent together — that make our community so special.

This is the Artis Way.
