My Mom has been in Canterbury Gardens for almost 2 years and has received fantastic care. The staff are very personable, smiling all the time and always there to answer any questions you have. The building is always immaculate inside and outside. If you are considering a retirement home for a loved one, a tour of Canterbury Gardens is a must before you make your choice.

Canterbury Gardens is a magical place to live. The Staff is friendly, gracious and knowledgable and as if by magic, everyone knows your name. Enjoyable entertainment is provided several times each month and birthdays are recognized when a party is held monthly. Canterbury Gardens is the Place to be!

My parents have been at Canterbury Gardens for six months now. We are all very happy with this transition. Canterbury, made the move very easy and helped to co-ordinate many details. My parents love their apartment and they are happy with the services that they get, laundry, cleaning and many more. They have joined exersise groups, card and pool games and my mom has made pies and cookies in the common kitchen. The support I have received in the care of my parents has been great. They have helped with medical needs, dressing changes , setting up homecare and monitoring when needed. It is a great relief to me that they have this support. My Mom said yesterday that " Everyone one at Canterbury Gardens is so friendly, helpful and always has a smile."
