Elevate Your Intelligence!

Amazingly enough, there are activities and games that exercise your brain and help to keep it fit. These games can improve memory and cognition, sharpening critical thinking skills that many of us do not use as much in retirement as we did when we were working full time.

Discover a variety of fun events at Wisteria Place, including crafts, bingo, meditation, fitness, and movie nights. With something for everyone, come join our vibrant community and experience the joy of participating.


How to make an Oreo pie!

Discover a holistic approach to food, community, and health. Enjoy a baking demonstration on how to make a favourite treat! Learn about gut health and nutrition. All this and more in "Nourishing Wellness," the new episode of Optima Living TV.

Optima Living outdid itself this year by collecting an impressive 22,000 pounds of food for food banks, or the equivalent of about 25,000 meals for people in Alberta and British Columbia.

This collective effort fostered a sense of unity and compassion among the Optima Living family, and stands as a testament to our dedication to making a positive difference beyond resident spaces.

The only thing better than happy hour is one with hot dogs! We love spending as much time outside as we can, so we're soaking up these sunny days before they're gone! Trying new food and beverages is always a highlight. Recently, some of our residents made Venezuelan Tizana, which is the best fruit punch for hot summer days!


Celebrating our Second Anniversary!

Can you believe Wisteria has been open for TWO years? Neither can we! The celebration we had was filled with laughter, community, and great food. Cheers to many more years!
