Today is ✈️ U.S. Air Force Day ✈️ – so let’s take to the skies with U.S Air Force veteran and Great Falls by Artis resident Rick. Rick has a lifelong passion for flying – “the sky, the clouds, the majesty of it all.” He was a fighter pilot for 20 years, achieving the rank of Lt. Colonel. After his Air Force career, Rick flew Boeing 737s as a captain for United Airlines until being forced to retire at age 60 due to laws at the time – though he says he would have loved to continue flying for many more years. He later worked for the Federal Aviation Administration as project manager for a sleep study program for air traffic controllers. Today, Rick loves to spend time outdoors, looking at the beautiful skies he soared through for so many years. A lifelong fan of folk music, he enjoys his community's music programs – and his broad smile lights up the room. At Artis, we are committed to helping people living with dementia achieve the essential human needs of purpose, belonging and joy.

To us, National Assisted Living Week is about celebrating the purpose, belonging, and joy that come with being part of a caring community...and also the feasting, playing and dressing up, if we're being honest. Heartfelt thanks to the Artis associates, residents and families who made it a week-long smilefest! 😄 😃 😎 😁 🥰 😋 🥳   #NationalAssistedLivingWeek  #CelebratingToday #AllTogether #TheArtisWay

In celebration of 🇲🇽 Mexican Independence Day 🇲🇽, let’s say “!Hola!” to Artis of Lakeview resident Esther, who is extremely proud of her Mexican heritage. Born in Veracruz, she met her American husband when he was visiting Mexico, and they fell in love fast. They married, moved to the US and raised four bilingual children together. As a homemaker, she loved to cook (ask her about her famous tamales). Today, Esther is known as one of the friendliest and most active residents in her community. She enjoys music, dancing, and talking with Spanish-speaking culinary associates in their shared native language. She attends almost every life enrichment program, helping, tidying, and looking out for everyone in the room. She remains very close with her children and takes pride in their careers and education. At Artis, it is our privilege to build a bridge between our residents’ lifelong identity and present daily life.

📸 It’s World Photography Day! 📸 So we’re focusing our lens on model and Artis resident Sanora of Yorktown Heights, NY, aka “Miss Subways” January-March 1964 – the nation's first integrated beauty contest, with winners professionally photographed by the country's top modeling agency and displayed in NYC subways.   More than just a pretty face, Sanora’s bona fides include first-grade teacher, social services agency manager, antique dealer, classical pianist, and painter.   Today at Artis, Sanora continues to spread beauty, joy and kindness. A social butterfly and helper by nature, she is on the party committee and loves assisting associates with preparations. She also enjoys music and art enrichment programs, and takes full advantage of her community’s outdoor spaces. And as you can see, Sanora still strikes a gorgeous pose! 🌹   By honoring and celebrating the full spectrum of their life story in a way that works today, we empower our residents to retain their personal identity and live more independently.   See how we’re telling the Artis story to the world on our new website! https://lnkd.in/eCJYfJ2F   #HonoringYesterdayCelebratingToday  #TheArtisWay
