Community’s Perspective

How Amica Taunton sees itself

Who are you as a community?

Experience premium senior living at Amica Taunton, a new retirement residence in north Whitby that opened in February 2024. Amica Taunton offers a full continuum of care from bungalow-style townhome condos, to Independent Living, Assisted Living, and a secure Memory Care. We have an onsite nurse 24/7 and a doctor visits weekly. Residents choose when to dine between 7am-7pm and enjoy special menus created by our Red Seal Chef. Onsite gastropub, The Gibson, also open to the public.

What do you do differently or uniquely well?

To overview, AMICA offers a premium senior lifestyle with an elevated retirement living experience. For peace of mind, AMICA Taunton offers a full continuum of care from bungalow-style Townhome/Condos to Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care. We can support 2 person transfers, mechanical lifts, pureed diets, feeding, palliative care and more..

Here at AMICA Taunton, we have Anytime-Dining where residents can choose when to eat, what to eat, and where to eat. Our culinary team raises the dining experience with the service level and food choices prepared by our Red Seal Chef. Also, we have an onsite gastropub, The Gibson, open to the public!

What supports do you offer residents as they adjust to life there?

We recognize that moving into a retirement residence can be overwhelming and scary. Our amazing team is available to help with the transition 24/7, including a 24hr Concierge, offering emotional support when needed. Trial stays are also an option.

How are residents supported if their needs change?

At AMICA Taunton, we support every person throughout their life as they age-in-place. Our wellness team is here to support, whether a it's a temporary need or an ongoing one. Residents can easily transition from Independent Living to Assisted Living or Memory Care, smoothly. We've designed each floor to feel the same so that transitions feel natural and familiar.

Under what conditions would you advise someone against choosing your community?

At AMICA we strive to honour the unique backgrounds and personal histories of our residents and team members. We have compassion for each other, and we strive to support a culture where everyone feels they truly belong. Equity, diversity and inclusion (ED&I) is at the heart of our corporate values and comes to life in the way we recognize and celebrate one another’s worth and uniqueness.

What might residents find surprising about your community?

There is a common misconception about retirement living among older adults. Many seniors want to stay in their home for as long as possible but can become increasingly isolated and inactive over time. As the International Federation on Ageing notes, “the number one emerging issue facing seniors in Canada is keeping older people socially connected and active.” Furthermore, seniors and their families can find it more and more difficult to manage their health needs, which is why the senior care at Amica offers such peace of mind.

Seniors and their families also appreciate that our best-in-class professional care includes personalized wellness plans, and a choice of engaging activities to maximize total well-being — body and soul.

How will your community change in the next five years?

Canadian-owned AMICA has grown from a start-up to a highly valued senior living brand with 32 residences, over 5,000 employees, and another 12 residences under construction.
