ArchWell Health centers in Tucson are honored to be recognized as a Better Business Bureau (BBB) Accredited Business. This accreditation signifies our dedication to upholding the BBB's Standards for Trust, which include a commitment to build trust, advertise honestly, tell the truth, be transparent, honor promises, be responsive, safeguard privacy, and embody integrity.
Set against the stunning backdrop of the Sonoran Desert, Tucson is a warm, welcoming city where older adults can thrive. With over 300 days of sunshine each year, accessible outdoor spaces, rich cultural experiences, and senior-focused programs, Tucson makes it easy to stay active, connected, and inspired—no matter your pace.
Begin with a scenic walk at Tucson Botanical Gardens, a peaceful 5.5-acre garden oasis in the heart of the city. Paved pathways wind through shaded courtyards and themed gardens, including a cactus and succulent garden, butterfly pavilion (seasonal), and a sensory garden designed to stimulate touch and scent. Older adults can enjoy discounted admission and participate in workshops like water-wise gardening and mindful movement in nature.
For a truly breathtaking outdoor experience, head to Saguaro National Park, which surrounds Tucson to the east and west. Both districts of the park offer short, level nature trails like the Desert Ecology Trail and Cactus Forest Trail, with paved sections, interpretive signs, and shaded benches. The scenic drive loops are also ideal for those who prefer to enjoy the desert views from the comfort of a car. Closer to downtown, Reid Park features a level walking path around two ponds, plenty of shaded seating, and accessible picnic areas.
Tucson is also a hub for lifelong learning. The Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at the University of Arizona (OLLI-UA) offers a wide variety of non-credit courses for adults 50+, with topics like desert ecology, digital photography, healthy aging, and history. Courses are held both online and at local community centers, making it easy to participate at your own comfort level.
If you enjoy creative or culinary activities, The Garden Kitchen—an outreach project of the UArizona College of Public Health—hosts hands-on cooking classes focused on affordable, healthy recipes and nutrition education tailored for older adults. For arts and culture, visit the Tucson Museum of Art in the Presidio District, where calm galleries and sculpture gardens offer accessible spaces to explore Southwestern and Latin American art. Docent-led tours and senior-friendly events are offered regularly.
Whether you’re learning about desert plants, discovering new healthy recipes, or strolling beneath saguaro cacti at sunset, Tucson offers older adults a peaceful, wellness-focused lifestyle rooted in nature, culture, and community.
