Assisted Living
Welcome to peace of mind at Amica West Vancouver, where support is always available whenever you need it. We offer licensed residential care and regular assistance with daily living on a dedicated floor in private, accessible supportive suites which are tastefully designed to enable your mobility and independence. Your comfort, care and safety are ensured around the clock by licensed nurses and professional care aides.
Certified wellness staff
Other senior living operators base their staffing ratios on annual budgets. At Amica West Vancouver, we use a variable staffing model to meet the actual care needs of our residents. As our residents require more support, we increase our staffing levels. Your medical needs will be overseen by our Director of Wellness, a registered nurse selected for their education, experience, clinical background and expertise working with seniors. A Wellness Coordinator helps organize care services for every resident. Residents appreciate knowing a registered nurse is on duty around the clock and that they will have the same friendly, certified aides providing assistance every day.
What to expect when you require assistance with daily living
We follow your lead to provide the exceptional service you’d expect from Canada’s leader in premium senior living, including freshly prepared daily meals, housekeeping and maintenance, cleaning and laundry and scheduled transportation. The residence concierge and emergency response pendants offer residents and families a safe and secure environment. Be reassured that you’ll be supported according to your individual preferences, whether you’d like help bathing, getting dressed, managing health issues or moving in and out of your wheelchair or walker. Enjoy a dedicated lounge and dining room plus recreational activities specially designed to support your physical, emotional, social and intellectual well-being. Plus, you’ll benefit from our exclusive Personalized Wellness Plan aimed at helping you get the most from the activities, amenities and services at our senior residence in West Vancouver.

How to talk to your parents and family members about senior living
It can take time, but your parent may come to the decision on their own as they may find they no longer feeling secure or their social network starts diminishing. In the end, it’s an adult child’s obligation to respect that it’s ultimately the parent’s choice.
