Events & Activities
Our Vibrant Living Program celebrates the seasons and milestones of aging with four guiding pillars: Purpose, Curiosity, Creativity, and Fun. Dirigo Pines team members get to know each resident individually and build programs and events based on their unique preferences. Art classes, Bocce, card games: whatever resonates most with you, we’ll help you find the events and social connections that fit your lifestyle best.

When you leave the stress of grocery shopping and cooking behind, you’re left with the simple joy of delicious, chef-prepared meals and good friends to share them with. Our culinary team emphasizes nutritious food, which can improve your health and happiness. Fresh, local ingredients, seasonal menus, and a dash of love makes every meal one to savor.

At Dirigo Pines, we offer tools and programs to help residents stay active, prioritize social engagement, and participate in cognitive stimulation to help reduce isolation and support emotional well-being.

We offer the LifeLoop app and It’s Never 2 Late (iN2L) content, making it easy for residents to view upcoming activities and menus, interact with brain-boosting games and videos, and sign up for events. You can also check in at your convenience and send secure messages.

There’s nothing like a loving pet to make it feel like home! The companionship of a pet enhances emotional well-being, encourages physical activity, and fosters social interactions.
