Heritage Place Retirement Residence
Description
Amica Dundas is tucked into a neighbourhood with an inviting combination of established homes and the lovely green spaces and walking trails of the Rotary Creekside Parkette directly beside us. Take advantage of boutiques, services and eateries just steps away or meet a friend for coffee at Detour Café. Our neighbours include the Hamilton Public Library, Dundas Valley School of Art, and Carnegie Gallery.
Heritage Place is an independently owned retirement residence in Burlington, Ontario that specializes in quality accommodation and services for the active senior. We are offering 2 styles of living: apartment style suites that range from 400 sq ft to 918 sq ft complete with kitchenettes and either balcony or terrace, as well as 2 bedroom fully equipped bungalows (1080 sq ft) with private deck and porch. Meal service, housekeeping, health support services and social activities are all part of the focused services we offer.
What do you do differently or uniquely well?
What do you do differently or uniquely well?
At Amica, we empower residents to live independently while enjoying the peace of mind that comes with knowing total support is always available if needed.
Our diligent Wellness Team delivers professional, around-the-clock care that is personalized to each resident’s individual needs. Thanks to an in-depth discovery process upon move-in, we can ensure that each senior enjoys both the lifestyle and care experience that is best suited to them and their loved ones.
We take pride in the flexibility our residents have to plan their day as they wish: when and where they dine, which activities and social opportunities to participate in, when to enjoy downtime and more.

Seniors are assigned a personal move-in liaison—one of the department leaders of the residence—to assist them with every step of the move-in process. We are happy to provide assistance with downsizing tasks before residents move in as well.
Once seniors arrive, they are paired up with a current resident ambassador. This ambassador helps the new resident navigate their first few days, guiding them and answering questions about all aspects of residence life.

Under what conditions would you advise someone against choosing your community?
Under what conditions would you advise someone against choosing your community?
Each Amica residence has its own distinct atmosphere and sense of community, based on the building’s design, its team members and residents, among many other factors. We encourage seniors and their loved ones to gauge whether Amica Dundas feels like the right fit for them by touring the residence, meeting our team and current residents, attending events, and perhaps experiencing a trial stay. Our team is happy to answer all questions families may have, so that we can support them in the decision-making process—even if it means recommending another location.

Our residence is large in size (215 suites), but the community has an intimate, homey feel. Team members know all residents personally, including their needs and preferences. Seniors easily build friendships with each other as well, meeting during life-enriching activities, dining together and bonding over common interests.

In addition to having more seniors join our residence, we are always looking for ways to integrate more closely with the community-at-large. We are proud to be embedded in such a beloved town full of art and culture, and our vision is to grow with the surrounding area while doing everything we can to remain a strong community partner and a good neighbour.
We make it a priority to plan events and experiences that will serve the entire neighbourhood, so we hope seniors feel welcome to bring their family and friends to visit us!
