University Pines,
a Holiday Retirement
Community

University Place residents enjoy a variety of health and fitness activities, from weekly group exercise classes and walking clubs to anytime access to on-site fitness equipment. We also have an onsite physical therapist.

Enjoy restaurant-style dining served with courtesy and caring by our staff who know you. Chef-prepared meals are served every day in University Pines' dining room. Sit with friends or invite your family for a special occasion in our private dining room. Each meal is designed to meet the unique nutritional needs of community members.

Our chef offers an exceptionally wide selection of menu options and hosts a monthly roundtable where residents offer feedback and ideas.

There’s so much to explore in the Pensacola area and University Pines makes sure that residents experience as much as possible. Regular outings to favorite restaurants, local events, and more introduce residents to all their neighborhood has to offer and connect them to the surrounding community.

Complimentary transportation provides residents with easy access to a variety of local activities, events and attractions, including a weekly“Lunch Bunch” outing to resident-selected restaurants.

University Pines' comprehensive calendar is packed with both recurring activities and special events. The variety of available activities is meant to enrich the whole person by stimulating physical, emotional, spiritual, intellectual, creative, social or vocational wellness.

Furry friends are welcomed as residents at University Pines. We understand how important the companionship and bond that seniors share with their pets. We’re delighted to have cats, dogs, birds, and even bunnies as part of our community.

University Pines is equipped with WiFi access to help you stay connected throughout common areas. You can use community desktop computers to stay up to date, or you can connect your personal devices to the WiFi.

The exclusive Travel & Stay program offers residents exciting opportunities to travel around the country, with free stays of up to seven days at any of Holiday Retirement’s more than 260 communities. Three chef-prepared meals are included with each trip. Visit all 43 states or just choose a favorite new location or two.

Many residents find a sense of fulfillment in donating their time and skills to a cause close to their hearts. The community supports school supply drives and other local needs. Outside volunteer groups help around University Pines as well.

We have empowered residents to become resident ambassadors. These individuals have often lived in the community for quite some time and enjoy helping new residents get acclimated to senior living. They encourage new residents to take their time settling in and them feel comfortable in their new home.
