We ‘traveled’ to Ireland 🇮🇪 for St. Patrick’s day! Residents and families enjoyed a festive ‘Around the World Luncheon’ filled with Irish charm, delicious food, lively entertainment and the luck of the Irish. This is how we do it here at Chestnut Ridge. This is the Artis Way!

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/

Waiting for spring 🌸

Residents enjoyed painting beautiful birds and letting their creativity take flight. Art is a wonderful way to spark conversation, encourage expression, and brighten the day.
