Activities
Ayre Manor offers a full calendar of creative, social and physical activities for residents of all abilities.
Some of the group activities we enjoy:
Live Music
Enjoy listening to varied live musical performances, from solo guitarists to community choirs, scheduled throughout the month.
Music Therapy
Relax with music therapy, a clinical and evidence-based use of music interventions by certified professional Maryann Burrows to accomplish individualized goals such as reducing anxiety and much more.
Arts & Crafts
Unleash your creativity with weekly arts and crafts workshops from painting and drawing to collage and hands-on crafting.
Exercise & Sport
Participate in a variety of fun, low-impact physical activities including curling, ladder ball, bean-bag toss, and balloon volleyball.
Zumba
Get moving with Zumba, a Latin-inspired dance exercise combining cardio, muscle toning and flexibility with fun, easy-to-follow choreography, offered twice weekly.
Games
Play different games each week such as Scrabble, Quiddler, Uno, or Rummoli. We have a large library of games, from which residents can also play with friends or visitors.
Bingo
Yell “Bingo!” with the classic and music versions — and learn along the way.
Weekly Trivia
Test your knowledge and learn new things with our twice weekly trivia sessions on subjects ranging from history and science to the arts and pop culture.
Brain Games
Keep your mind in sharp shape with mental exercises that help cognitive function. We also have a growing collection of jigsaw puzzles.
Movies
Watch everything from old classics to new releases — by resident request — during regular film screenings in our lounge.
Holiday Parties
Celebrate Robbie Burns Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween, Christmas, and more holidays with social events and live music.
Tea Socials
Enjoy afternoon tea with a light snack of fresh fruit, cheese and crackers, or baked goods, served by the cozy fireplace or outdoors in summer.
Ice Cream Socials
Scoop some summertime enjoyment of sweet treats outdoors — and feel like a kid again! We also offer lactose-free options.
