Activities and Programs

What’s Your Pleasure?

No more alarm clocks. No more 9 to 5. At last, your life has become your own. And Quarry Hill gives you the freedom to make the most of it.

In Independent Living…

You might start each day, if you choose, with complimentary coffee, conversation and maybe a donut hole or two in the Living Room at the Anderson Inn. From there, the world’s your oyster. Each week brings fitness classes, shopping trips, movie nights, discussion groups, and get-togethers for those with special interests like handcrafts, poetry, and Scrabble. The monthly calendar brims with evening wine-and-cheese socials, birthday parties, field trips, and concerts. Annual traditions such as holiday gatherings and our legendary summer lobster bake bring neighbors together to celebrate the splendors of Maine’s four seasons.

Elsewhere in the Inn…

Quarry Hill’s activities staff plans dozens of programs and special events each month for residents of our traditional assisted living and memory-loss care. Popular are exercise classes; game nights; picnics; cookouts; museum outings; pet visits; wine-and-cheese parties; and performances by visiting musicians, dancers, storytellers, and more.

Live, Learn, and Let Fun Happen

Two year-round educational series, open to all residents and the general public, reflect Quarry Hill’s value of continued learning and commitment to supporting the whole person. Renowned enrichment programs run the gamut—from Mediterranean cooking, to lighthouse history, to the history of American popular music. While awareness events deliver the latest information on a number of issues of particular concern to older adults, including chronic health conditions, financial matters, combatting scams, and more. Collectively, these offerings provide an opportunity for older adults to forge connections, embark on personal growth, and nurture their inquiring spirit.

But there’s more to life at Quarry Hill than the planned and the scheduled. How about an elevator ride to the top of a 42-stories-high suspension bridge? A Super Bowl party? A movie on a winter afternoon? Or an impromptu performance on the baby grand by a resident’s visiting grandson? You never know what might pop up.

Perhaps more than most communities of its kind, Quarry Hill is a place created of, for and above all by the people who call it home. A place where you get to be you.
