Our Community

Sooke is a small seaside community known for its friendly folks, beautiful scenery, west coast history, and locally-owned restaurants, services and shops. Many of Sooke’s residents have lived here a long time and have deep community ties, so Ayre Manor fills a need for residents to remain connected to local family and friends as life changes.

We respectfully acknowledge the T’Sou-ke Nation, upon whose traditional territory we provide seniors housing and care.
