WE ARE AN EXPERIENCED TEAM OF EXTRA CARE OPERATIONS AND LATER LIVING SPECIALISTS
Amicala is part of the Seniors Living Group of companies, and sister business to the regional care home operator Allegra Care.
“There are always professional reasons for doing a job, beyond that there are personal reasons. As the senior management team, that personal reason for us, was the death of a parent and subsequent isolation of the remaining parent. Their lives would have been better in an appropriate retirement community. The lynchpin for Amicala is the provision of care, so that, no matter how a parent may age, they need never worry about retreating into themselves or moving again and instead enjoy life with others of a similar mindset.”
With offices in Hampshire and London Amicala is focused on the delivery and operation of extra care communities in Southern England and London.
