Our mom has been at Amenida since April 2023 after our dad passed on a few months earlier. Since then, we all agree that Amenida was the perfect place for her, from overall convenience to meal choices, but most of all the friendliness with which the staff deal with the residents. She especially enjoys being able to attend the chapel services every week. A big thanks to everyone at Amenida!

My father has been living at Amenida for four years now. He is currently healthy, happy, and enjoying his life there. Our family visits him regularly, and he lives a joyful life. We especially appreciate that he is living safely, surrounded by neighbors, which gives us peace of mind. I want to express my gratitude for Amenida’s seniors' community, delicious meals, safety, cleanliness, and especially the staff who are always kind and attentive to the residents. If you’re looking for a seniors home for your parents, I highly recommend Amenida. Special thanks to Nancy and Agnes, who always do their best and are very kind.
Loving Family of Amenida: My mother, who celebrated her 100th birthday last year, celebrated her birthday again this year by the grace of God. As her birthday approached, she became frail, so I travelled from Toronto to Amenida to be with her. After staying with my mother for a month, I went to see the general manager, Rosa Park, to say goodbye to her, and I told her about some of my experiences in Amenida. 1. First, I told her that the staff and everyone who works at Amenida are consistently gentle, kind, humble, and always ready to help, so I always felt comfortable dealing with them. In response, the manager, Rosa told me that when hiring people, Amenida looks for their character more than anything else and that they always emphasize kindness, patience, and a servant's heart because the people they serve are all elderly and have many different types of disabilities, and that their work cannot be done without patience and compassion. 2. I then told her that I found the atmosphere of Amenida to be very welcoming because I have met many people at Amenida who have such good hearts and care for others and that my love for Amenida grows every time I see their beautiful actions here and there. The manager, Rosa then told me that her dream is for everyone at Amenida to have a sense of family and to be a part of the Amenida family, caring and loving each other, even in times of difficulty. She said that she tries to lead by example, and for that, her staff leads by example. 3. Thirdly, I told Rosa that I liked the food overall, and most of the time, both Western and Korean food was good for me, but I heard some people complain that the food was bland and tasteless. Rosa said that food is an essential part of life in Amenida requiring a lot of thought into it in many ways: First, the people who serve it have to do it with care so that the recipients feel good, and then the food has to look good, taste good, and be nutritious, especially for the elderly, so it has to be tailored to their health, so that people who eat salty and spicy food may not like it. 4. Next, I asked Rosa if there is anything that can be done for people who have been in Amenida for a long time and must go to hospice, especially if they are a couple and must be separated, which is very sad and scary for them. Rosa said that's why they are considering setting up a long-term care section in Amenida so that all the Amenida families can stay together in the same place and then go to heaven from there. 5. Finally, when I mentioned that Amenida is a desirable senior community and I wish there were more like it in other cities, Rosa said that the president plans to build 40 Amenidas in North America. I was excited and envisioned myself living in an Amenida in the future. After staying with my mother in Amenida for a month, she felt much more relaxed, and her speech and behavior became almost normal. I decided to return to Toronto, thinking that she could live alone for a while longer. Amenida has Rosa, the general manager, a Covid heroine who kept the Amenida family intact during the long Covid pandemic, her kind staff to solve all the difficulties, a faithful pastor to take care of all spiritual things, and angelic friends of faith around my mother, so I was somewhat relieved, but still sad and heavy-hearted to leave my mother alone with her deteriorating memory and frail body. Moreover, the thought that this might be the last time I would see her alive dragged my feet. Trusting the Lord's protection and love, I took the heavy step. Peter Ro
My parents just moved in to Amenida. I was very impressed with the quality of staff and services. There is always room for improvement but I would highly recommend Amenida to all retires and not just Koreans.
Hello 👋! Amenida has been a second home for my dad and I! Recently, he suffered a stroke. Thankfully, Amenida has been with us through every step of the way. I can’t thank Amenida enough for the welcoming atmosphere, friendly staff and good food 🥘! “All fresh!” - my dad 👨. There are recreational activities throughout the day, Christian living times and a salon. Special thanks to Agnes for accommodating us from the beginning! “Free wifi and ample parking!” - my dad 👨. 5 star ⭐️. Would recommend!
