Executive Director Fish Creek North and West
As Executive Director of United Active Living Fish Creek, Amy McDonough oversees all aspects of daily operations in the community. She supports teams to align service delivery with United’s values, purpose, and quality objectives. With a background as a recreation therapist, Amy established a specialty in memory care in her former roles. She led training and program implementation of the Dementia Butterfly Model of Care with Intercare Southwood and worked as Memory Care Support with Covenant Care Canada. Prior to stepping into the role as community Executive Director, Amy led a team as Manager of United Minds, United Active Living’s proprietary memory care and cognitive support services. When not in the community, she practices active living in all forms: hiking, playing sports, and spending time with her family. Amy joined United in August, 2018.
United’s integrated philosophy is what drew me in. As we collectively put into practice a vision for bringing living to aging, I have seen first hand how new life experiences can positively impact older adults in this chapter in their lives.

We believe in the transformative power of creative expression. Our art studios, staffed by professional artists seven days a week, are vibrant hubs where residents can explore and nourish their creativity.
We celebrate residents' lifelong artistic experiences while introducing them to new art mediums and techniques. Our diverse arts programming includes independent art practice, creative workshops, and drama and theatre, offering something for everyone.
Engaging in creative expression allows older adults to overcome limitations through imaginative thought. Neuroscience continues to reveal the profound impact of imagination on shaping our reality, highlighting the significant benefits of creative activities. Residents find joy, purpose, and a deeper connection to their community through art.
Stay active and engaged with our diverse selection of fitness and recreational activities at United Active Living. Our independent living community offers everything from group exercise classes and personal training sessions to walking clubs and outdoor adventures. Physical activity is essential for maintaining a healthy and happy lifestyle, and our programs cater to all fitness levels, ensuring everyone can find something they enjoy.
At United, we go above and beyond the typical senior home experience: from daily fitness classes tailored to individual abilities, to outdoor excursions that embrace the beauty of nature, there are endless opportunities to stay active and connected. Our monthly programming features a variety of movement options, so you can dance, mini golf, walk, or stretch your way to an active lifestyle. Our professional team also offers one-on-one personal training and rehabilitation sessions, tailored to your unique wellness goals.
We believe in the power and joy of lifelong learning. Retirement is an excellent opportunity for older adults to pursue passions and interests they may not have had time for during their busy years of working or raising a family. Our commitment to continuous learning helps keep the mind sharp and engaged.
Professors, instructors, and researchers regularly visit our Calgary senior living communities to offer talks on a wide range of fascinating topics. These sessions provide an excellent opportunity for residents to engage with new ideas, discuss current events, and explore diverse subjects. Our residents often contribute unique perspectives, keeping the conversations lively and enriching.
Staying mentally active has significant benefits for the brain, including improved memory, better problem-solving skills, and a greater sense of well-being. Our lifelong learning programs are designed to stimulate the mind, foster curiosity, and encourage intellectual growth, ensuring that residents continue to thrive and find joy in learning.
