Great Falls Memory Care by Artis proudly announces its Positive Partner of the Year 2025, Ida Garcia! As a Cook, Ida embodies what it means to serve with heart. She brings a can-do attitude to work every single day, always with a warm smile and a calm, approachable presence. Residents are drawn to her kindness and compassion — whether she’s preparing a meal, answering a question, or stopping for a reassuring hug.

In the kitchen, Ida is the definition of reliability and teamwork. Ida doesn’t just cook — she creates meaningful dining experiences. She knows each resident’s preferences and thoughtfully prepares alternatives when needed. Her meals are nutritious, delicious, and made with genuine love.

The residents truly feel Ida’s care. Some even look forward to speaking in Spanish with Ida — a small but powerful example of how she builds connection and belonging.

Her contributions extend beyond food. She has helped the community achieve deficiency-free health department surveys and supported the rollout of all new fresh menus. Ida leads with integrity, empathy and respect. She inspires others to go above and beyond and radiates positivity throughout the community.

Through exceptional meals and heartfelt connections, Ida supports the comfort, happiness, and wellbeing of every resident she serves. Ida is not only an amazing Cook, but an invaluable part of Great Falls Memory Care by Artis! Please join us in congratulating Ida on this well deserved recognition!

💗 This Valentine’s Day, we’re celebrating love in all its forms – tender, playful, and beautifully human. Here’s a little poem for our residents, families, and associates.

​​Roses are red,​
Our logo is blue,
​There’s nowhere more joyful​
Than Artis with you.​ ​
There’s laughter at breakfast,
​And dancing at noon,​
Someone’s requesting​
That Elvis song soon.​ ​
Care partners appear
​With a smile right on cue,​
And somehow remember​
You like extra juice.​ ​
We celebrate stories,​
We celebrate snacks,
​We celebrate moments​
That keep giving back.​ ​
To residents we cherish,​
To associates we adore ​
You’re the reason love lives​
In these halls evermore.​ ​
So here’s to this place​
Where big hearts stay true
​Happy Valentine’s Day​
We truly love you.​​

🫶 Touch is more than just comfort – it’s an essential form of communication and emotional bonding. For individuals living with dementia, physical touch often remains one of the last sensory languages that feels familiar. A held hand, a gentle massage, or a warm hug can communicate safety, recognition, and love, long after verbal communication becomes challenging.

Explore how touch comes to life at Artis, in both structured programming and routine moments of daily living – and learn 10 ways families can incorporate therapeutic touch during visits! https://bit.ly/4rbwyHF

Families don’t have to navigate the dementia journey alone. ​Some of the most meaningful support comes from connecting with others who are walking the same path, with guidance from trained facilitators who can help make sense of what you’re experiencing.​​

At Artis, we create safe, welcoming spaces where families can connect, share honestly, and learn together. Throughout 2026, our monthly Family Support Groups focus on ways to reduce stress, restore emotional balance, and create meaningful connection. All families are welcome – join us! Check our Event Calendar for dates and times.​​
