Independent senior living community in Calgary
Fish Creek West by United Active Living: Independent Living Senior Retirement Community (otherwise known as Fish Creek West) offers large, luxurious suites and exemplary amenities for older adults who can live independently. Programming, services, and amenities all support active minds, bodies, and imaginations. Our priority is to keep residents mobile, confident and independent as long as possible.
Fish Creek West is named after Fish Creek Provincial Park—the beautiful urban park just steps away. It’s the largest urban park in Canada at over 5 sq. miles in size, with over 30 km of pathways.
One of our most cherished community partners, St. Mary’s University College, is just across from our community, and several shopping centres and medical facilities are conveniently located nearby.

There are so many activities that keep my mind active. I like to learn something new every day and this place really caters to that and keeps me challenged.
You can bring your family and get them to join you for a meal, dinner or whatever you want their company for!
There's a reason I got a couple of my friends to move in, too!
You can go in any time in the day and order either breakfast, brunch, lunch or supper. The service is amazing and the food is excellent!
I love our apartment. It is just perfect for us. When I first walked in here, I remembered saying, this is so me!

Art programs
Our art studios are staffed by professional artists seven days a week to nourish creativity and explore the world of art and fine craft. We draw from residents’ lifelong creative experience as well as introduce new art mediums and techniques. We offer a wide range of arts programming including independent art practice, creative workshops, and drama and theatre.
Creative expression provides an opportunity for older adults to overcome limitations through creative and imaginative thought. Neuroscience is continuing to unpack the power of imagination and how it can shape our reality.
Music programs
Music inspires, entertains, and lifts us. United offers an extensive music program that has you covered whatever your musical tastes. Whether you like to get right in there and sing, to learn something you didn’t know before, or engage by listening, there is something for everyone in our luxury senior dementia care retirement communities including both independent living homes and assisted living memory care residences. Our music offerings include a resident choir, music appreciation, in-house concerts, and concert excursions.
Educational programs
We believe in lifelong learning. Retirement provides an excellent opportunity for older adults to spend their free time pursuing passions and interests that they couldn’t find time for during busy years of working or raising a family.
United Active Living has strong community partnerships with St. Mary’s University College and Mount Royal University. Professors, instructors, and researchers regularly visit our Calgary senior assisted living communities to offer talks on a range of fascinating topics. These talks are an excellent opportunity for residents to engage in new ideas and keep their brains sharp. Many times, our residents can offer unique perspectives and keep the conversation lively.
