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 R

I was a practicum student at Amenida and I'm very glad I had the opportunity to learn more about an independent retirement home (I'm thinking about the future). Even though I'm not Korean, I love the food and I tried everything I could, such a nice experience. All the employees are friendly and even though I was only a practicum student, they made me feel part of the team. I would like to mention that it's an independent retirement home and yet all the residents have special treatment, for example, if they forget about lunch time, the employees will go to the residents room to remind them. They know everyone in the dining room and they know if someone is missing. They have many activities and church for those who like it. Such a nice and fun place to live in.

When my father moved in there the year before last, I was actually very worried. I wondered if I would be able to adapt to the unfamiliar environment and my father's picky eating habits, and at that time, I was in a state of constant thinning. So I thought a lot about whether it was a good decision to let him move in there. I told my father that even if he was still living there, he could leave if he didn't like it. He has been staying there for about 1 year and 4 months now and is very satisfied because he has made friends and eats Korean food for every meal. The staff takes good care of you, and the pharmacist comes often to check your health. They clean the room regularly so the room is always clean. Her face brightened beyond recognition and she gained weight, making Amenida look better than her children. Amenida asked if he wanted to come out and live with me again, and he said he liked it there haha. If you are currently thinking about moving in like I did in the past, I highly recommend it.

My father has been living in Amenida for 3 years. He said that nowhere could be better than here, and he thinks he made the best choice and feels peaceful and safe living in Amenida. I was also impressed by the well-balanced and delicious good quality meals and how the staff and managers served with all their heart and sincerity. In fact, my father is healthier now, and I see many people become healthier and live long lives. It's nice that seniors can enjoy various hobby programs, outings, parties, and consolidation performances from various communities. In addition, they can receive home support from Fraser Health every day. A hairdresser and a doctor are available every week, and very kind and caring pharmacists are on the site every meal time. So it is very convenient and safe to live here. The best thing is that there is a church in Amenida, so my father can worship in Korean and receive the words, prayers, and spiritual care from a fully dedicated pastor. I also attend Sunday worship with my father. I feel so lucky to live very close to Amenida. I would like to thank Amenida because I can feel that they really care for seniors. I highly recommend this place and I would like to live here in my future. It has been three years since my father lived in Amenida. While here, he received a lot of love, attention, and help from the employees and managers. He said that nowhere could be better than here, and that this was the best choice for his father. He always said that he felt at peace. I, too, was impressed by how well-balanced and delicious the menu items at Amenida were and how the staff served with all their heart and sincerity. They say that people who come to Amenida actually become healthier and live longer, and I think my father said the same thing. There are many opportunities for seniors to enjoy various hobby programs, outdoor outings, parties, and consolation performances. In addition, a hairdresser and a doctor come every week, and very friendly pharmacists administer medication at every meal. Home support is also available from Fraser Health, so it is so convenient and safe that I feel at ease because I can trust and entrust my father with it. The best thing is that there is a church in Amenida, so my father can worship in Korean and receive the words, prayers, and love of a truly devoted pastor. I also attend Sunday worship with my father. I am truly grateful to be able to enjoy the benefits of this place so close to Amenida. Amenida thank you so much. I highly recommend this place and I would like to live here in the future.

Based on the reviews it seems this place is an excellent choice for any person looking for a life lease set up. The company's internal communication could be improved.

I have been a resident at Amenida for about 5 years, and overall have found it to be enjoyable and comfortable. The staff are responsive, and pleasant to deal with. In addition, they respond well to minor injuries that may occur on a day to day basis. For many residents, the kitchen has an excellent reputation, while for others the food quality is questionable. Obviously this is dependent on ones taste and personal sense. Overall Amenida is a pleasant place to live, and we are treated well by the staff. I would recommend Amenida to seniors requiring regular attention and a pleasant staff to deal with.

After checking out a few different places, my mom felt more comfortable at Amenida. She doesn't speak Korean but surprisingly she became friends with them and other nationalities as well. She participates in different activities and does exercise more. She had a couple of issues with the food at one time but those were resolved immediately. Overall, she's so at home and enjoys being at Amenida.

I live in Southern California where there are lots of Koreans and yet there are no senior homes in the US quite like Amenida in BC. Time and time again, my family and I and especially my grandfather, experienced first-hand the countless love, care, and support from the staff who devotes their time and energy and even sacrifice their own personal lifestyle for him (and others as well). Recently, my grandfather celebrated his 111th birthday and this momentous occasion exceeded my family's and my expectations. The food was excellent (beyond many of the restaurants in the Vancouver/Surrey area); the staff were supportive, friendly, and mindful of us and my grandfather; the facility was clean and spacious; and there are plenty of activities and events to keep the elderly busy and active. The staff does not idly stand by unlike many places but makes every effort to engage with the elders and encourage in participation. Most importantly, they provide 3 services per week for the elderly to participate in and to hear the word of God! My grandfather loves this tight-knit community of like minded people who values relationships and traditions and respects one another. This is his family away from his own and a home like the one in Korea. We are overwhelmingly blessed and grateful to the staff and the Amenida family for pouring out their lives, their love, and their sacrifices for my grandfather and all those under their care.

My family is blessed to have my mom at Amenida. She has been well cared for and has been happy since moving in about about two months ago after the passing of our father. We are treated with respect and kindness. The staff show professionalism, patience, support and a true helpfulness towards the residents and their families. Thank you so much!
