Review of Amica At Somerset House #1 Victoria, BC
I very much enjoyed it. - I went there twice for a few months each time. I would highly recommend it. The location is beautiful, it's right on the water and you can watch the ships come and go. They had good food, and was clean and the staff was friendly. I liked the underground car park.

Don't waste your $$$
My father has been a resident there for over 3 years. I do not live in BC so following up on his care is not easy. He has had several falls and is in need of someone to encourage him to be out of his room and go for dinner, instead he is lonely and depressed and is an alcoholic. This makes it worse for his overall health and has had sever very bad falls now. When I followed up with the ' nurse ' [name removed], she told me she did not know anything about how to deal with an alcoholic and did not know anything about alcoholism. She would not even go and speak with my dad. This facility will take their $$$ but not provide a safe environment or facilitate getting the help that residents need. Even the laundry and room cleaning he pays extra for is sub par. Save your $$$ and find a better residence.

This is an unusual place. All the residents and all the staff I've talked to love this place. They The staff enjoy working here. The residents have a variety of things to do and are generally occupied, not just sitting around watching TV.
The food is excellent. One has a choice of which meals to take.
