Amica Little Lake

Thanks so much to all the staff at Amica Little Lake. Each person you meet greets you warmly at every visit. The concierges are always helpful and welcoming. (I have seen Valerian mostly.)There is an excellent wellness centre, great food, and the art hanging on the walls make it feel like a gallery. There is also a large range of activities and outings.Michelle and Laura helped significantly with my Dad's transition from Independent Living to Memory Care. Lisa and her team members in MC are professional, engaging, upbeat and kind. (I have happened to see Jill and Brianne the most.) Given the number of activities that are appropriately targeted to my Dad, and the encouragement he gets to participate, he is very active, and happy.I am thankful that he is able to be in such a caring environment.

Definitely a very fun place to work! There’s always activities for residents to join in on!

A HALLMARK MOMENTOur Mother loved her evening baths. As far back as we could remember it was the conclusion to her day.Sadly, and not by her choice, this ritual would come to an end. Mom desperately missed her baths.She was asked if she would like to move to a new home called Amica. It was a beautiful place with lovely people and provided the care that she required. Our Mother said “that she would think about it.”To help reduce her anxiety and truly with no belief that this could actually happen, Mom was told that Amica had a special bathtub. She could finally get her bath. She responded “That would be glorious.” As it turned out, it would be her final request.From the moment that Mellissa heard about this unique request, she transformed into a super hero and sprung into action. Despite the limitations, the uncertainty and the potential risks, she was motivated to make this happen for our Mom. Then a few hours after our Mom’s arrival........... She did!The inclusion of Lisa’s passion and leadership, combining with the commitment to care from Kelsey, Savanna and Kinnari allowed our family to bear witness to an extraordinary act of kindness. We will be eternally grateful. The participation of Mom’s daughters created a personal moment that will never be forgotten. The wonderful ladies at Amica created a warm, tranquil environment and with the familiar sound of Sinatra in the background were able to grant our Beloved Mother’s final wish........ “A Glorious Bath”!Not too long after, our Mom lay very serenely in her favourite nightgown, under her best blankets surrounded by her children. She was at peace. And then our Beloved Mother went to sleep.A TRUE HALLMARK MOMENT”Myrna Jean Stephens: April 1, 1937- February 24, 2023With thanks,The Stephens Family

A few years ago my grandparents were living in Toronto and did not have family nearby. Luckily we were able to find a place at Little Lake, and they were able to move in. Sadly my grandfather passed away shortly after they moved in, but the nursing team there were able to help my grandfather stay comfortable until he passed away. I just want to share that since then my grandmother has been very happy at Amica. Although she misses my grandfather, I know that the people take good care of her. She loves the food, but more importantly she has friends and isn’t lonely. We feel that “Gramica” is safe and getting the socialization she so desperately needs.

Great location overlooking Little Lake here in Barrie. Staff appeared friendly, personable and caring. Very good tiers of service to seniors from active, assisted, and memory care. Common areas very well appointed and very nice building design. Library, pool, fitness room, hobby kitchen and other lovely facilities available. Would suggest that efforts be made to improve and expand the rather limited parking area.

I have worked at Amica for the last two and a half years and absolutely love my career. The staff and leadership team are amazing to work with and the residents bring me joy each and every day. In my almost twenty years of working with seniors, Amica is the best company I have worked with.I look forward to coming to work each and every day.

My Mother joined the Memory Care area approx 10 months ago.She was in her 102 year and needed more physical care than we were able to provide her at our home. Her transition was not as smooth as we would have liked, as she wanted to continue to stay with us, but the compassion and kindness shown to her, by the care workers in memory care area, was exceptional and she gradually felt at home.I want to especially thank Nisha Baby who was one of the care workers for the outstanding kindness she showed towards my Mother. Nisha has a rare talent and is able to connect to people even when they are at their most vulnerable and confused.(also thanks to Austha Trivedi another care worker)This Amica offers every level of care up to and including palliative. My mothers last days were under palliative care. She stayed in her own room with round the clock support from both the Nurses and care staff. I cannot express how attentive, informative and caring they all were. You never want to be in that position with a loved one but this level of comfort and familiarity for the family and my Mother removed all concerns about her surroundings. My family and I cannot thank them enough.Janet Wicks

Best place to live amazing staff and extremely good environment. The place is so beautiful and people are friendly. The best Amica ever.

I absolutely love working here. Every one cares so deeply for eachother. From the residents, families, friends, and staff members. I will always have much respect and appreciation for Amica Little Lake.

Wonderful staff - Tonight Meharjot Kaur (M) took such gentle care of my grandma (96) who is recovering from a recent fall. Meharjot went above and beyond to make sure my grandma had everything she needed and more. Thank you so much! It means a lot to know that my grandma is cared for so well ❤.
