AMICA LONDON

I can honestly say, Amica London saved my life. When my father declined and needed to move to an Assisted Living... Amica London came to the rescue! They are amazing! They have no problem taking care of my father. He is doing great there, much better than the other place. In fact, now it is clear to me that, with competent care, he doesn't need to be in LTC! At Amica, the food is fantastic (I've eaten with him many times), the staff are experienced and well-trained, and there are 5 or 6 activities each day on the Assisted Living floor alone, to keep the residents active and engaged. We also visit with other residents in the Bistro on the main floor, and participate in activities downstairs for the Independent Living residents as well (e.g., art classes, theatre performances, including a recent music recital from UWO). I wholeheartedly recommend Amica London!

The staff was always kind and professional.

It's a very nice community and a breath of fresh air. All the staff and residents have been so helpful, friendly, and engaging. Thank you so much to Rebecca Sim and the whole team at Amica London. You've been really amazing while arranging for a spur-of-the-moment respite stay for my mom. She's so thrilled to be staying with you at your very nicely appointed property.

I visited Amica a number of times as an 'essential caregiver' for a resident. This is a lovely facility with great amenities and an attentive, professional staff. Rebecca Sim, the community relations director, was particularly helpful and friendly. I highly recommend Amica for brief respite care, longer-term stays, or a permanent home.

The lobby staff are always friendly, as are the dining room staff. They offer many activities for residents to participate in if they choose. The breakfast, lunches, and soups are very good. The doctor is easily accessible once a week, and the wellness centre staff are very helpful.

Excellent worker, wonderful personality, Five-star girl, Neelum, is the best

All the staff at Richmond Woods are just wonderful people and I recommend Richmond Wood without any hesitation at all.

All of the staff at Richmond Woods Apartments are excellent! We have been very impressed. At this time we especially want to commend Neelum (at the main reception desk). She is always very friendly and personable, meets everyone with a smile, always takes time for any questions, is very knowledgeable, and is thus much appreciated.

We are very happy with our choice of moving to Richmond Woods. From Neelum, at Reception, who welcomes all with a warm, helpful and efficient manner, to friendly staff and residents, all help us to feel at home..
