Reviews of Amica Dundas

Gain exclusive insight into life at Amica Dundas. Comfort Life’s exclusive verified reviews and videos give you insider information from residents and their families.

Our perspective

Amica is a trusted, premium name in senior living, with a reputation for helping seniors live a comfortable lifestyle in its lovely buildings. Amica Dundas brings to bear their three decades of experience in more than 30 locations Canada-wide.

Experience means they know how to listen to seniors. They make it a pleasure to live here, following their motto “Your day, your way.” Flexibility is seen in key aspects like dining (you choose when and where to eat) and care (a diligent interview process gives residents an individualised care plan). The continuum of care here ranges from independent and assisted living to memory care to end-of-life care.

Newness, cleanliness, and class are other hallmarks of the Amica brand on display here. The rooftop terrace is a highlight, along with private balconies on many suites. It’s close to the downtown core, combining history (since 1847) and modernity (bike lanes, outdoor markets, and all the shops you’ll need.) Abundant greenspace, Cootes Paradise, McMaster University, Hamilton Public Library, and Royal Botanical Gardens help create a vibrant, varied environment.

There are full kitchens in independent living suites. Respite care is available here, just one way of getting to know the community. When you move in, Amica provides an ambassador to acclimate you to life here. They also have experience helping people with downsizing. The generous activities calendar will get you off and running with the renewed social life you’ll enjoy inside Amica Dundas.

I spent three months researching retirement residences. It didn’t take long for me to decide that Amica residences were a cut above the rest. Amica is philosophically aligned with my values of diversity, equity, and inclusion. That is reflected in everything they do, including the staff they hire and the programs they provide. Amica Residences are very pet friendly, and they consistently have the best reviews!! I chose Amica Dundas because it brought me closer to family. Dundas itself is a unique place. I’ve lived in 8 cities, in 4 different countries. I have fallen in love with only one: Dundas, Ontario!

My parents have been living at Amica Dundas for 7 months now. Once my Dad lost his driver's licence they were completely dependent on family for all of their needs. Moving to Amica Dundas has given them back their independence and has given my sisters and me the peace of mind of knowing that all of their needs are being taken care of and that they have the support that they need today and will ultimately need moving forward.

The staff at Amica have been so supportive of them and to our whole family during their transition and any time we have a question or concern they are quick to respond and go above and beyond to help my parents feel comfortable and supported. They have encouraged them to participate in all of the amazing activities and special events that are available to them every day and show a genuine interest and concern in their well-being and make every effort to help make their life at Amica enjoyable and enriched. We have seen a dramatic improvement in their health both physically and mentally since they moved to Amica and are so happy that they are living the life they truly deserve.

We looked at every option available for them and the added bonus we found at Amica Dundas is the incredible location. They are able to walk across the street to Metro for their favourite cereal, walk to Rexall and have their medications managed and delivered to their door, or have the option of having them managed and delivered “in-house” when the time comes that they need that. They enjoy their short walk downtown to enjoy the restaurants and shops, can walk to the bank to manage their finances or walk across the street to the Farmer’s Market in the summer and fall. It truly is the real deal and you will not find a better retirement experience for your loved ones or yourself in the Hamilton, Ancaster, Dundas area. We have already told our kids that Amica Dundas is where we want to live when we are in our senior years.

Craig Stevens, family member

We recently moved our parents into Amica. What a tremendous experience! Mary, our main point of contact, was extremely knowledgeable and so very helpful. Any questions were responded to with top-shelf professionalism! This has been a stressful time for obvious reasons, but the transition has been seamless. The facility and staff are wonderful. Although there will be adjustments, we are looking forward to a great experience at Amica Dundas.


Bayla Fishman, visitor or friend

The Sip & Savour event was amazing. The many Greek dishes were scrumptious and plentiful. The employees did a lovely Greek dance, and residents and guests were invited to join in. Everything Amica Dundas does is “top drawer”.


Jeff Taylor, family member

Great place for mom. Safe and secure.


Keith C. , resident

Everything went extremely smoothly right from start to finish. In fact, I can’t think of even one thing that was negative! It’s been very good. You have all been so patient and so much fun.


Debra Wingfield, family member

My parents moved in at the end of July. Melanie went out of her way to ensure their comfort and was excellent to deal with regarding their move. Lisa the GM was also very helpful and open to feedback. Now that they've been there a few months, they are enjoying the amenities, the programming and the location. I appreciate the efforts of all staff to engage residents in programming that fits their interests. Staff at the front desk, especially Carole and Yogi, are very welcoming. I would highly recommend Amica at Dundas.
