Recreation

View our monthly calendar.

At Augustine House, we believe in promoting and supporting an independent lifestyle and empowering residents to become active members of the Augustine House community. Many of our programs begin as areas of interest for some, and expand to meet the interest/needs, of many others. Our programs occur in large groups, and also in smaller or one to one settings.

In Recreation Services, we strive to meet the needs of our residents by developing programs, which meet the social, physical, spiritual, and psychological needs of our residents. This is done through collaboration and consultation with residents and staff.

Some of our activation programs include Fitness Classes where balance, strength, range of motion and stamina are the focus. Some of our more popular programs are Bridge, Bingo and Cribbage. Unique opportunities such as intergenerational programs with children from the community, Bus Trips to Theatres and Restaurants, and Musical Entertainment provide for meeting the diverse needs and requests of the residents.

Augustine House hosts Happy Hour once a week in our Main Lounge, serving cocktails, wine, beer, soft drinks, and complimentary fresh popcorn. Movies may be enjoyed on the big screen in our Media Room, and the Library has material in print, audio and visual format, as well as two Internet ready computers.

Following our philosophy of choice, we encourage residents to maintain their activities and participate in programs, which interest them.

Please come in and sit by the fire with a friend, walk the grounds and observe the abundant wildlife, or challenge yourself during fitness class. We will do our best to make you feel at home, and part of the Augustine House Community.
