Staff were friendly and very willing to take a deposit of $1000 on my credit card to hold a space for my father. It turned out we opted not to go with Amica, and it’s 2 months later and still no return on the deposit despite many requests. I do not recommend paying a deposit to this company unless you are taking a place for certain. Very disappointed in the lack of response and communication

Building is well maintained, and the campus was incredibly clean. Staff were courteous and polite, very professional establishment. And what views! Clear day could see all the way across to the states!

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!
