By the time seniors reach retirement age, many really want to relax and be pampered in a comfortable, luxurious lifestyle that they’re worked towards their whole life. Catering to this niche market, Amica mature lifestyles and retirement homes has taken every step to provide a comfortable, five-star environment for their residents, a community where seniors feel relaxed and at home.
Claudia Salgado, Vice President of design and construction at Amica says this living philosophy is taken into consideration during every stage of the planning, design and construction process for every community the company builds.
Design: Salgado defines design as “a problem solving discipline.” At Amica, the team of designers really understands the resident needs, challenges, desires and goals, approaching each aspect of “design from an ergonomic perspective, having our residents as the centre, the users as the centre and focus of our design.” Architecturally, all of this is done with a five-star environment in mind. From the finishes, colour schemes, artwork and accessories, Salgado says “it’s the whole combination that makes our environment so special.”
Location: With communities throughout Ontario and British Columbia, location is paramount in the development of Amica communities. “We take into consideration accessibility,” says Salgado, as well as the context of where the buildings will be erected, aiming to have each community to be in a convenient location for residents and their guests.
Aging in place: When residents first move in to Amica retirement communities, Salgado describes them as young, vital seniors, who want to age in the community the love. With that in mind, Amica is “prepared to serve them with their different needs” as they are developed.
