Dolly Parton had a gift of inspiring joy and connecting on a deeply human level through her music – a gift she shared generously with us all. We mourn her loss and celebrate her extraordinary life. 🦋

Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80. The country music legend was known for songs including “Jolene,” “I Will Always Love You” and “9 to 5.” She also starred in movies like ‘Steel Magnolias’ and ‘The Best Little Wh******se in Texas’.

📚As kids have been heading back to class, we’re celebrating a different aspect of learning throughout August at Artis!

On the dementia journey, learning evolves. The familiar routines of life can awaken long-held occupational and sensory memories.

Join us as we dive in to the occupational, domestic, and creative skills we’ve honed over a lifetime – shared experiences that create opportunities to participate and feel a sense of purpose. 💙💙💙

If the holiday decorations are already showing up in stores (they are), it’s okay to start thinking about the months ahead.

You walk into the store for school supplies or Halloween decorations, and there they are – Christmas trees, menorahs, ornaments, and twinkling lights. For many families caring for a loved one with dementia, this is also the moment another thought quietly arrives: “How are we going to do the holidays this year?” If you’re asking yourself that question, you’re not alone.

The holidays can be beautiful, but they can also bring new challenges for someone living with dementia, and for the family members who love them. Starting the conversation early can help everyone feel more prepared, more present, and less overwhelmed when the season arrives.

It’s that time of year, when students return to the classroom for a new year of learning.

At Artis, we’re helping our residents continue to learn, grow, and engage with the world through the Power of Play. For people living with dementia, learning can evolve into practicing familiar skills and sharing what they know with others.
