    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.
