About Amica Swan Lake
At the heart of everything Amica Swan Lake does is a belief that seniors deserve more than just a safe place to live. They deserve a place where they can truly thrive. Located at 6360 16th Avenue in Markham, Ontario, Amica Swan Lake is a thoughtfully designed senior living community nestled beside the natural beauty of Swan Lake, offering a lifestyle that blends exceptional care, vibrant daily programming, and warm hospitality in a setting that genuinely feels like home.
Living Options & Care Levels
One of the most reassuring things about Amica Swan Lake is that it offers multiple levels of care under one roof, which means your parent can move in at the level of support they need today without worrying about having to relocate if their needs change down the road. For seniors who are largely independent but want the comfort of knowing help is nearby, Independent Living provides just that. Your parent can enjoy their own private space, access to all the amenities the community has to offer, and the quiet confidence of 24/7 support whenever it is needed. If your parent needs a bit more day-to-day assistance, the Assisted Living option provides personalized help with daily tasks, with a dedicated wellness team available to support more complex care needs as well. For families navigating a dementia diagnosis, Amica Swan Lake also offers Memory Care. This program is led by certified healthcare professionals in a secure, purpose-designed setting built to provide both safety and dignity. Finally, if you are not quite ready to commit to a long-term arrangement, or if your parent needs a temporary place to stay while recovering or while a primary caregiver takes a break, Respite Care offers a short-stay option that lets families experience the community firsthand.
