Volunteer at Ayre Manor

Enhance the lives of our residents by assisting with various one-on-one and group activities.

Our Complex Care residents live here because they can no longer care for themselves. We strive to provide exceptional care while enabling residents to maximize their quality of life by focusing on their abilities rather than disabilities.

We welcome volunteers from all walks of life to share their skills, experiences, and enthusiasm with residents while staff focus on medical and physical care. In return, volunteers gain opportunities for personal growth, skill development, and meaningful connections, making it a mutually beneficial relationship.
