April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month – and at Artis, we are proud to serve many people who have developed dementia related to the disease.

Parkinson’s affects movement, cognition, emotions, and daily routines. For these individuals, a more structured and supportive environment can make a meaningful difference in their safety and quality of life.

April is National Gardening Month! 🌱 Here at Artis, we just love putting our green thumbs to work. Try our can’t-miss recipe for the perfect spring window box!

🌸 Pansies – Cool-weather champions with happy faces!
🌼 Snapdragons – Bright vertical blooms that add height and drama
🌸 Petunias – Classic spillers that overflow beautifully
🌿 Sweet Alyssum – Tiny clusters with a soft, sweet fragrance
☀️ 4–6+ hours of sun = best blooms
💧 Water when the top inch feels dry

Gardening offers a sensory-rich experience (scents, textures, sights) that can reduce stress, stimulate memory, and provide a sense of accomplishment. Looks pretty, too! 😍

🌿 As spring arrives, nature offers fresh opportunities for people living with dementia. The sights, sounds, textures, and scents of the natural world engage multiple areas of the brain at once, often sparking memories and creating calm.

With our Power of Play: Play as Nature programming, Artis residents have the chance to get their hands dirty in our raised garden beds, explore secure outdoor walking paths, engage with sensory nature stations, and create art from natural elements – all thoughtfully designed to help ease anxiety and support connections.

And for families, these simple, shared moments can become treasured parts of the journey we’re taking together. 💙 Discover how Play as Nature breathes new life into the joys and purpose of life at Artis.
