About Amica West Vancouver
Great senior living is built on a simple idea: every person deserves to feel at home, supported, and connected to the life they love. Amica West Vancouver, located at 659 Clyde Avenue in West Vancouver, British Columbia, brings that idea to life in a setting that is as beautiful as it is thoughtfully designed. Nestled between the North Shore mountains and the Pacific Ocean, this five-storey residence offers a warm and enriching environment where seniors can thrive at every stage of life.
Living Options & Care Levels
If you are looking for the right fit for a parent or loved one, Amica West Vancouver offers a range of care options that can grow and change alongside their needs. For seniors who value their independence but appreciate having professional support nearby, the Assisted Living program provides just that balance. Residents enjoy their own private space and daily lifestyle while having access to a dedicated care team around the clock. If your parent requires more hands-on help with daily routines or has more complex health needs, Long-Term Care offers personalized assistance with a full wellness team close at hand. For families caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, the Memory Care program provides specialized, compassionate support tailored to each resident’s unique situation, with the flexibility to adapt as needs evolve over time. And if you are not quite ready to commit to a permanent move, Respite Care offers a shorter stay option so your loved one can experience the community firsthand while you have peace of mind knowing they are well looked after.
