Overview

About Amica Somerset House

Dallas Road supplies the ocean views; the in-house art gallery supplies something to discuss when the weather sends everyone indoors. Amica Somerset House sits in James Bay and offers independent and registered assisted-living options. Suites have balconies or patios, with gardens, a library lounge and an indoor pool among the shared spaces. Ask to see the actual available suite: a waterfront address does not guarantee every window faces the water.
