Canterbury Gardens

I have nice things to say. For me it was close so I could stop and check on her every day. I got to know staff by name. I would recommend yes. I think that mom received a good quality of care. They often did seem understaffed. Sometimes this was due to challenging residents. Some needed more care than others in the memory care wing. I think mom was one of the easier residents. Staff seemed to like her very much.

Excellent, welcoming community in a home-like setting. Food is pretty good but sometimes cold or over-cooked. Residents & staff are friendly & helpful. Call necklace does not distinguish between life threatening emergency and routine assistance calls, & sometimes response is not immediate.

The staff seem to genuinely love my mom. She really loves them too. She's always hugging them. And I love that they are free to hug her back. Touch is so important for dementia. They found her a roommate that is an absolute perfect fit. They are best pals and do everything together. We take her whenever we take mom. She's just become a part of our family now.

I was very disappointed in the care that my mother received at Canterbury Gardens. They appear to be short staffed due to the strong smell of urine. My mother has issues with colitis and I had told the staff what foods needed to be avoided, which they claimed they did. However, I was told by a bath aid they she was having chronic diarrhea and fresh blood in the toilet. I was only told this due to being there at the right time, otherwise I doubt anyone would have contacted me about it. The food served is institutional including a lot of processed meats, overall cheap and not nutritious.

I picked it because it was close to home and one of the best places for my mother with memory care. I would recommend to others.

Good place to care for your loved one. Sometimes they seemed understaffed. We picked this community, because not many available in our area for memory care. Good location in local home community, and the availability.

Overall we have had a pretty good experience with Caterbury Gardens.

Canterbury Gardens has been a really great experience so far, the community is very clean and the staff members are very friendly. We have not had experience with the meals and dining ourselves but he seems to be really happy. He does not always participate in the activities but he does enjoy when they take him outside to walk around. Overall the value is worth it, he is happy and we would recommend this community to other families.

Overall we love the Canterbury Gardens community. We are very comfortable knowing the fact that our loved one is there being well taken care of and is safe.

They are very nice.

The community helped me out when my wife was here as a resident. She had a good experience for the time that she was living at the Canterbury Gardens.

My dad has early onset Alzheimers and has been at The Gardens for almost a year. At first he went during the day while I worked and he just loved it so much he moved in! They are truly the best. It is clean, staff is very friendly and they really do love their residents. I can't even imagine where we would be without them. He is at the point now where he doesn't even want to come home with me! He feels safe and secure there and that just means the world to me. Thank You so much.

Mom has been a resident at the Gardens for the past nine months. She has gone from extremely anxious to thriving due to the amazing care she is receiving from the staff! We consider it such a blessing to see her happy, secure and comfortable in this beautiful facility. From the Administrative Staff, reception, nurses and caregivers we have found everyone extremely compassionate, not only to Mom, but our entire family. Communication is great, they keep us well informed about her medical and emotional needs, as well as activities at the Gardens. We can't thank them enough for the reassurance and peace of mind they provide for our family!!

Placing loved ones in ANY care center is difficult but 'The Gardens' is a wonderful home, The facilities are welcoming and clean, the staff is fantastic. Like most facilities, the food is not the best but acceptable. It is costly, but most care facilities are expensive. Would recommend this facility.

My mother is a very social person. Canterbury Gardens has been very good for her because of this. Mom has Altzimers, but she still loves to be around people. She also loves to give kisses and to nurture others. It has given her lots of opportunities to do that. Because of this, she has basically stopped obsessing about things. I use Canterbury Gardens as a day care facility for her. It works very well for me. I also have a care giver at my home frequently that help in other parts of her care. Canterbury recently did just go into quarantine because of an upper respiratory infection there. I suppose that happens to places like that. There are a lot of elderly people staying there and a lot of people come and go. So mom is quite bored right now. I look forward to being able to take her there again. I also appreciate all the activities that they attempt to keep their charges involved in.

my mother has been at the gardens for alittle over a month, and I have been very pleased with the care and the compassion for my mother and my family. the staff is very caring, the rooms are very clean and orderly. what I appreciate the most is the time the staff will give me to answer any questions I have about my mother. they call me when necessary and always keep me up to date on what my mother is doing and how she is feeling. thank you so much gardens for your care and I thank GOD very day that my mother is in this wonderful home.

I prayed for help for my family to be able to make the best decisions for Grandma and Papa. I feel like the Garden has been a huge part of that. It seems ever since Papa started to visit on a respite basis that the answers have come bit by bit as they have been needed. Now he lives at this lovely facility I sort of feel bad calling it a facility because it is much more than that to us all. It is Papa's home. Each of the family members are met where they are at in the process toward acceptance of our situation. The staff are well picked and seem happy at their careers and therefor exude that to the residents. Papa is the happiest I have seen him in years. I only hope we can find a place like this for Grandma that will fit her needs as well when the time comes. So we won't be concerned how she is doing on her own.

After several years of bringing my husband here for respite care, I finally had to place him permanently because of falling, wandering and increased dementia. It was an easy transition since he was familiar with the people and place. He had been resistant to showering so I'd bring him in for an hour and they would shave, shampoo and shower him. It was nice to bring a scruffy old man in and go home with a happy, clean handsome guy. The facilities are beautiful, the smell is nice, the caregivers are wonderful, often joking with those who respond well to that. They tailor care to the individual. For instance my husband often fell out of bed so now his mattress is on the carpet and he is not in danger. My life has changed so much for the better, knowing he has great care. I love this place!

My family and I are quite pleased with the care my dad receives at the Gardens. It is a the atmosphere is calm, it is a beautiful facility and smells clean. More importantly all of the staff there, know each of the residents as individuals. The residents there are always cared for with dignity and respect and as much personal touch as possible. I understand that there can be some guilt issues for people when it is time to place family members but I know I made the best choice for my dad. I am there several times a week and like what I see. I have enjoyed my visits and all of the residents as well as the staff who always make me feel welcome. I have NEVER had a communication issue at the facility. In fact, they assist us regularly in communication issues with health care providers.

Canterbury gardens is full of very kind staff..they have truly improved my aunt's quality of life! As well as been a huge help while we were selling her home. I would like to say thank you to Nic, Gretchen and the caregivers for all of their support and patience with our family through out this whole process. We are so thankful she is there.
