On September 20, communities across Western Canada opened their doors for Optima Living’s annual Fall Open House. Guests enjoyed comforting flavours, warm hospitality, and the feeling of connection that makes every Optima community feel like home.

Choosing senior living is more than finding a place to live—it’s discovering a fuller, more connected way of life. In this episode of Optima Living TV, residents and team members share how community, care, and connection can bring joy, purpose, and peace of mind to everyday.

Optima Living and the University of Alberta are partnering to shape the future of senior care. Led by Dr. Adrian Wagg, this four-year collaboration will advance research, innovation, and community engagement to improve the quality of life for older adults.

Ageing is a season of growth, joy, and new possibilities. At Optima Living, we believe it’s a time to celebrate experience, purpose, and independence. With the right support and planning, seniors can continue living confidently and meaningfully at every stage of care.

Bringing up the idea of moving to a senior living community with your parents can be emotional and delicate. It is a significant life transition that involves change, uncertainty, and often a mix of emotions.
