Who are you as a community?

At United Active Living, we pride ourselves on being a place where older adults 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 invest in delivering unique experiences based on what you want to see and do - both in our community and beyond. From certified kinesiologists to professionally trained artists, we promote active living and creative expression which means our monthly program calendar is second-to-none. We also know it's important for residents to be active in their community, which is why we build meaningful experiences with organizations like the Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra, Mount Royal University, Honens, Calgary Jazz Orchestra and many more. 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. This means an environment where couples and individuals thrive. We complement 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 the experience of aging.
