Our Perspective
How we see Amica Unionville
In the heart of historic Unionville, Amica Unionville blends charm and convenience with an elevated standard of senior living. This community gives Markham and Unionville seniors a sparkling example of Amica's approach to service that lets you have “your day, your way.”
This is a bright, modern nine-storey residence. The recent expansion brings a stylish new pub and patio, a self-serve bistro, a full-service dining room, and wellness-focused spaces like a fitness centre and indoor pool. An expansive terrace lets residents gather under shade trees or soak in the sunshine. Other features include an on-site spa, a home theatre, and in-house clubs and activities like gardening, swimming, and arts and crafts.
Daily dining is central to the experience here. Meals are prepared fresh by Red Seal chefs using seasonal, local ingredients. Residents can choose from daily menus or à la carte items. Staff happily accommodate special requests—whether it's a celebratory dish or simple comfort foods. Flexible dining lets residents eat where and when they prefer, from the main dining room to the bistro, patio, or their own suite.
The range of care options includes assisted living and Memory Care. The dedicated Memory Care floor offers specialized programming and round-the-clock support. It’s a thoughtfully designed environment where certified dementia care staff give compassionate, personalized attention, helping residents feel safe, engaged, and purposeful. The entire building creates a vibrant, supportive community where the attention to detail gives seniors and their families what they value: comfort, dignity, connection, and choice.

"The caregivers are all very caring and hardworking, very patient with all those under their care with dementia. I am happy to see my husband is in good hands."Katie, family member
"They are so gentle, kind, and patient with my grandmother. From housekeeping to front desk to the PSWs and nurses, everyone was so kind-hearted. They did their best to take care of her comfort and needs. Garbage was emptied daily. Each change was with a fresh bucket of water, and even that water was changed halfway through. Her pajamas and clothing were changed multiple times a day, depending if she was going outside her room, but definitely a fresh change of pajamas each day.
