Meet the general manager

What’s unique about Amica Edgemont Village?

“As a nurse, I’ve always believed great care starts with truly knowing the person behind it. At Edgemont Village, our team builds strong relationships with residents and families, which helps us provide personalized support while encouraging residents to continue pursuing their interests and staying actively involved in residence life. Whether it’s participating in events, sharing a talent or simply connecting with neighbours, there’s a real sense of engagement here that makes this residence special.”

What does your work mean to you?

“What I love most about my job is the people. Being part of a residence where we support residents in living meaningful, connected lives is incredibly rewarding. I’m inspired every day by the stories, wisdom and resilience of our residents, and by the dedication of our team members who care so deeply about them.”

Can you recall a meaningful resident or family experience?

“One resident and her family had a profound impact on me during her journey with Alzheimer’s disease. I remember her daughter once telling me, ‘I don’t think I’ll be able to handle it when my mother no longer knows my name. I guess that’s why they call it the long goodbye.’ The conversation stayed with me. As a singer-songwriter, I later wrote a song inspired by their story as a way to honour that resident and recognize the many families and caregivers who walk alongside their loved ones through similar experiences. It’s a reminder of the deep connections we build and the privilege of being part of people’s lives during such meaningful moments.”
