Who are you as a community?

At United Active Living, we pride ourselves on being a place where older adults can experience new firsts every day. We actively build and foster community, tailoring programs and services to your interests to cultivate authentic connections among neighbours and with our friendly and talented team. There’s no such thing as a standard experience at United - we deliver unique experiences based on what you want to see and do. From certified kinesiologists to professionally trained artists, opportunities for active living and creative expression are around every corner. We also build meaningful experiences through established partnerships with organizations like the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, Lunchbox Theatre, Mount Royal University, Honens, Calgary Jazz Orchestra and many more. Our monthly program calendar is unmatched. United delivers a leading approach to memory care - United Minds - which integrates individuals living with dementia or cognitive impairment into our community and focuses on the unique abilities and interests of each person rather than limitations. In our community, couples and individuals thrive. We complement our program and service offerings with larger-than-average suites with your choice of kitchen or kitchenette and convenient amenities like underground parking, a la carte dining, and in-suite laundry. United Active Living is committed to transforming your experience of aging. We can't wait to meet you.
