Amica On The Gorge in Victoria, BC offers assisted-living as its primary level of care. Residents who live with diabetes can access dedicated support that includes blood-glucose monitoring, insulin administration, and routine coordination with physicians to keep treatment plans current. Trained staff members are on duty around the clock to respond to health needs and to ensure that any emerging medical concerns are addressed without delay.
Beyond diabetes management, the community provides daily assistance with bathing, dressing, mobility, and medication management. A call-bell system links each suite to staff so that help is available at any hour, and regular wellness checks are scheduled to keep residents on track with personal health goals. Rehabilitation professionals and visiting healthcare providers supplement the core nursing team, giving residents access to therapy services and periodic assessments without needing to leave the property.
Accommodation options include private or companion suites, each designed for accessibility and connected to the building’s indoor common areas where residents can socialize or participate in programmed events. Suites differ in size, layout, and in-room amenities such as kitchenettes or additional storage, and not all accommodations have every feature.
Three meals are prepared daily and served in the main dining room, with snacks available between meals. Menus are developed to meet the nutritional guidelines for older adults and offer choices that accommodate diabetic, low-sodium, and other physician-directed diets. Staff monitor meal intake when needed and coordinate with the care team to adjust nutritional plans if a resident’s health status changes.
Residents have access to a schedule of on-site activities that include fitness classes, games, educational sessions, and social gatherings. These programs are designed to encourage physical movement and cognitive engagement, supporting overall well-being within the assisted-living environment.
