Today marks the start of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year – a time for reflection, renewal, and hope for the year ahead. It's tradition to dip apples in honey, a simple gesture that carries a big wish: for a sweet new year, for all of us. 🍎 🍯

At Artis, it’s an opportunity to honor each other's stories and make space to celebrate the traditions and faiths we hold dear.

Shanah Tovah Umtukah!

🇺🇸 We Remember.On Patriot Day, we pause to honor the lives lost on September 11, 2001, the courage of the first responders who ran toward danger, and the countless families whose lives were forever changed.

The events of 9/11 are deeply personal for many of our residents, families, and associates. Some lost loved ones. Some served and responded. Many carry vivid memories and stories of a day our nation will never forget.

Today, we hold space for those stories and honor all who were impacted — with gratitude and compassion.We remember those we lost. We honor those who served. And we stand with the families who carry their memory forward. 🇺🇸

Balance is more than physical steadiness. For people living with dementia, it’s tied to how the brain processes movement, spatial awareness, and timing – which means changes in balance often show up alongside changes in memory and thinking.

At Artis, we build rhythm and guided movement into everyday life. A marching movement set to music, done standing, seated, or supported, gives residents a steady beat to follow instead of a set of steps to remember. Small, repeated movement builds comfort. Comfort builds confidence – and confidence opens the door to participation.

For World Letter Writing Day, we’re putting pen to paper at Artis!Writing or dictating a letter can encourage self-expression, spark conversation, engage language and memory, and create something special to share with the people we love. For people living with dementia, it can be a wonderful starting point for connection. Not sure what to write? Here are some prompts to get you started. 📝

The perfect letter doesn’t need perfect spelling, beautiful handwriting, or even a stamp. Sometimes the joy is simply in remembering, laughing, and sharing the story together.
