Overview
Amica Senior Lifestyles provides premium senior living communities in Canada, offering independent living, assisted living, and memory care across 34 residences in British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario. Its product combines high-end hospitality and amenities with tailored care services to create a personalized living experience, with options designed to adapt as residents’ needs change. Distinguishing itself from competitors, Amica emphasizes a strong hospitality-focused environment, long-standing industry presence since 1996, and integrated care across multiple levels of living, grouped in distinct residences rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. The company’s goal is to set a new standard for senior living in Canada by enriching residents’ lives today and as their needs evolve, while continuing to expand into select markets.
