We'll look for a more professional residence where the staff are doing there job and available on a Wednesday at 10:00 AM We'll be booking for a place that wa ts the business.

I cannot express enough gratitude for Amica Somerset House and the incredible support they provided my mom as she began her journey with dementia. She lived here for 2.5 years, and even though we eventually had to transition her to a different facility for more complex care, the team at Amica made the initial stages of her journey so much easier for our family. The Director of Wellness Caroline is absolutely fantastic. She leads a team of highly skilled and compassionate nurses who go above and beyond every day. Their professionalism and empathy have been a source of great comfort to us. From the welcoming environment to the engaging activities,, Amica Somerset House offers a truly unique atmosphere. The staff's dedication to the well-being of each resident is evident in every interaction. They treat everyone with dignity and respect, ensuring that all needs are met with care and kindness. I highly recommend Amica Somerset House for anyone seeking a supportive and compassionate independent or assisted living community for their loved ones. Their commitment to excellence in senior care is truly outstanding. And the ocean views are pretty incredible! Thank you, Amica Somerset House, for everything you do!
