Prioritize Your Health and Wellness at URC.
Comprehensive Wellness
Sometimes, thinking about holistic wellness can feel a bit overwhelming.

Some opportunities include:
- Exciting community events to promote social wellness
- Engaging fitness offerings, including our Fitness and Aquatic Center, numerous exercise classes (including aqua aerobics and tai chi!), and other spa-style amenities
- Diverse and eclectic hobby and discussion groups, which promote vocational and intellectual wellness
- Personalized ways to facilitate spiritual and emotional wellness, such as meditation classes and abundant outdoor spaces for walking and reflection

Aquatic Program
Our pools and spa are a fan favorite with our residents—and for good reason! You can feel the warm California sun on your skin while taking a dip in the heated outdoor pool, enjoy swimming laps in the serenity of the indoor pool, or simply relax in the warmth of the bubbling spa. Swimming is not only fun and refreshing, but helps promote physical health. This gentle exercise is especially beneficial for those who have arthritis or are recovering from an injury or surgery. We’ve customized our indoor pool with you in mind—both the pool and spa have graduated stairs for easy entry and exit and a specially-designed transport system to gently lower residents in and out of the pool. This feature is especially helpful for residents who participate in water-based therapy while recovering from surgery.
