Wonderful, caring staff.

Stayed here for a respite recovery. The food was amazing, and the staff could not have been nicer. Many of them went out of their way to help out or just say hello/chat each day. Enjoyed many fun meals/activities with many of the residents who could not have been more lovely. I was sad to say goodbye to them when I'd recovered enough to return home. My post-surgery recovery went well, I think, in part to the time I spent at Longworth and the positivity that surrounded me while I was there.

I can't say enough about how well my mother is being cared for in the nursing home side. She is never lonely and she is happier than she has been in a long time. From housekeeping and foodservice, to her new doctor and nurses, the staff here are all very warm, energetic and caring. There is someone checking on her four times a day for meds, plus three times a day for snacks, plus three times a day for meals, then there's help getting dressed in the morning, and at bedtime.(she gets many hugs throughout the day, in the course of her care, so the psws get a special thank-you from us both.)Then add the weekly visit from an amazing doctor, the activities and physio. My mother raves about the food. I'm writing this review because I never heard anything positive in the media, and most of us only take the time to review to "warn" others of bad experiences. My mother is safe and happy here and we consider ourselves very fortunate.

Compassionate, trustworthy & knowledgable staff that work really hard to make the home nice & keep it safe! The staff are empathetic & know their residents well. The food is really amazing too! It is clean, friendly & a beautiful atmosphere! You can see that it is a nice community & a lot of residents are enjoying their time & have formed friendships! Thanks to all the staff for the exceptional level of care!

The facility is beautiful, but the staff are incredible. They lovingly cared for our precious father up until he went to palliative care. I don't think they believe in the word 'no' - always positive and supportive.

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.
