Executive Director Garrison Green
Alan Chapple joined United Active Living in September 2024 as Executive Director of United’s Garrison Green community. He is responsible for overseeing all aspects of daily operations and leads the alignment of service delivery with United’s values and purpose. With a focus on ensuring smooth operations and a vibrant community for residents and team members, Alan brings a wealth of experience to his role. He holds a Master’s in Business Administration (MBA) from Royal Roads University. Before joining United, he served as Director of Operations at Carewest, where he honed his leadership skills in the older adult living and healthcare sectors. In his free time, Alan enjoys playing soccer and riding motorcycles, two hobbies that allow him to stay active and enjoy the outdoors.
I’m really enjoying the people here! The residents, families, and team are all terrific. Among our team, there’s a strong commitment to United’s dynamic value proposition and I’m really excited to be part of leading the delivery of that promise within the Garrison Green community.

The food quality is very, very good. I love the flavours. I would say that the meals are 110%. The variety is excellent, and the special meals they prepare are very nice. Chef Kevin often comes around to the tables and talks with the residents to get our feedback.
Have a dietary restriction or ingredient preference? Looking to host family and friends for milestone celebration? Our culinary team is at your service to create a dining experience that's perfectly tailored to you.
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.

We understand maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle is essential to overall wellness, regardless of age. That's why we offer a range of senior fitness services and programming tailored to your individual needs and interests.
