The weather has been beautiful this fall! Residents are spending as much time outside as they can knowing what is to come. One of the many benefits of a seniors’ community is that winter doesn’t have to be such a burden. We have everything you need under one roof, including fun activities and the warmth of friendships.

Come in and learn more about our wonderful community and how you can live your best winter!

Introducing Optima Living TV!

Optima Living supports seniors to embrace an active and healthy lifestyle. As part of our unprecedented approach to senior life, we are excited to launch Optima Living TV: regular episodes of easily digestible content full of useful and interesting information for seniors and the people who love them. 

Each episode (viewable on the Optima Living YouTube channel at YouTube.com/optimaliving) will consist of

1. 1. an interesting class or lesson for seniors to take part in

2. 2. a discussion relevant to senior life full of useful information and takeaways

3. 3. a health tip from the University of Alberta's Division Director of Geriatric Medicine Dr. Adrian Wagg

Full episodes will be released on the first Friday of each month starting on October 7th. In between each release day, there will be segment videos released called “Spotlights,” bite sized content from the full episodes, easier to watch on the go.

National Food Bank Day

Residents stuffed the bus on National Food Bank Day. All donations went to the Strathcona Food Bank. We had a splendid afternoon with s'mores and some live music! Combined with Aster Gardens, another Optima Living community, we raised 1125 pounds of food for the Strathcona Food Bank. Read more about our food bank initiative here.

Happy Thanksgiving!

We celebrated Thanksgiving with our residents, and some shared special notes about what they're thankful for.

National Beach Day Party

We had some fun in the sun on National Beach Day! It was great to see the residents letting loose.
