“ Creativity is the gift of aging. Each one of us is endowed with the spirit of creativity, whether we know it or not. …Creativity potential is there in all of us, an inner resource renewable and vibrant no matter how much or how little it is used.”

“ This creative spirit has the power to change our lives at every age and to do so in quite different ways as we get older.”

UAL is a leader in the development and implementation of programs and services that seek new and creative ways to enrich life experiences. Our creative expressions program is a mainstay in all of our Active Living Communities™.

Research continues to provide evidence on the value of creativity as a component of healing and healthy living. Through a variety of programs and workshops in our communities, we provide the opportunity for expression of spirit in a variety of ways, such as through art, music, theatre, dance, writing or story telling.
