Independent Seniors Living
Community in Calgary
Live life your way
We focus on your strengths, abilities and interests, not your medical conditions, and you tell us how you want to live.
Independent living is an ideal option for people who want to maintain their lifestyle of independence, with optional care services available should they be needed. The focus is on convenience and an active life.

Arts 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.

Calgary’s best programs & partnerships
Community is a core value at United Active Living. One way we live this value is through our partnerships with the larger Calgary community.
These partnerships offer residents access to new learning opportunities, art, music, fitness and other activities and programs. Many of our fun and engaging Arts & Culture Programs are made available to residents through these community partnerships.
It’s not uncommon to find our residents enjoying a concert at the philharmonic, or a show at Theatre Calgary or participating in an art class in the mountains.
Our partners include the following:
- Calgary Philharmonic Orchestra
- Lunchbox Theatre
- Third Action Film Festival
- Honens
- Mount Royal University

Friends & Family
Welcome
Friends and family are always welcome to join you for full-service meals and special occasions and events. You may also wish to reserve the private dining room. Due to evolving COVID-19 safety regulations, the availability of guest dining may be impacted in our independent living communities. Contact us for the latest information.

United Minds
Memory Care Services
United Minds is an additional service offered at our senior living retirement homes for those experiencing memory loss or living with some form of dementia.
Although residents have access to a wide variety of engaging programs through our general community calendar, United Minds programming is different. Smaller more intimate programs are led by dedicated program facilitators who tailor the experience to your abilities and interests.
In this way we promote socialization, active participation, and encourage you to be present in the moment. Our supported independent living facilities, services, and programs offer all that and more. Call today to learn more about our Calgary locations and unique approach to Assisted Living and Memory Care.
