We never separate couples based on their medical needs.

"We are completely satisfied that United Active Living will be providing for us as a couple. We can be independent if we like to. And we can have assistance if we like to. But we can go through it together."

Alzheimer's & Our holistic approach

United Active Living has more than 20 years of experience in operating senior residence communities in Calgary. We have a unique holistic approach to health and wellness. Our active approach to assisted living addresses the physical, social, emotional and spiritual needs of each individual.

At United Active Living we follow a social model of care, which means you are the expert in your wellness. We focus on your strengths, abilities and interests, not your medical conditions, and you tell us how you want to live.


Our philosophy focuses on enjoying an active, creative life supported by a highly educated staff that are trained to see you as a unique individual.


We recognized that current methods of housing for seniors with Alzheimer's and operating programs for them didn’t match current research into the benefits of arts and cultural programs in creating physical and cognitive wellness. It’s about supporting you to live well.


By offering a better way to live in their later years, our approach is setting a new standard that ensures older adults are treated with respect, and given the autonomy to make their own decisions regardless of their mental and physical conditions.

And there’s our revolutionary United Minds program which is designed to provide a safe, nurturing environment where residents with dementia and other cognition challenges can enjoy a positive life experience. 


Recognizing that dementia is progressive, our program is a solution-based philosophy that works with the individual’s skills, passions, and interests. 


Our Alzheimer's care programs are designed to slow progression and enhance quality of life.


Residents with Alzheimer's are defined by what they can do, not what they can’t do and are included in all aspects of our community.


United Active Living senior assisted living communities promote physical, social and intellectual programs that transform the experience of aging.

Alzheimer's & Your Personalized Care

Our assisted living community provides residence with the support they need to maintain active lifestyles. We know you don’t get to be 80 or 90 without experiencing some wear and tear on your body, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up your independence, nor the freedom to choose how you want to live. Our retirement facility is located in Calgary.

We support you in the privacy of the suite you have chosen as your home. The services we offer are flexible and can be adapted to suit your changing needs. Our team of professionals partner with you to customize your personal care services, on your terms.

United Minds - Alzheimer's Services

United Minds is an additional service offered at United communities for residents experiencing memory loss or living with some form of dementia (such as Alzheimer's).

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.

Conveniently located close to Mount Royal University, United Active Living’s Garrison Green community opens unlimited possibilities and choice.
