Why You Should Talk to the Experts

August 10, 2016

United Active Living is an authority on older adult communities. We’ve developed two communities, with two others being planned – all in Calgary. Older adults, or those we used to call seniors,  are looking for more when they choose to leave the family home. They want financial peace of mind, appropriate health care when they need it, and a community that supports them in their goals.

Want to know more?

We’ve created the following list of frequently asked questions. Click the links to the audio files for a discussion on the various subjects.
