I have been here six years and love it. My apartment is very roomy and functional. The maintenance, management, and overall atmosphere are terrific, very peaceful. Parking is easy. The location is convenient: turnpike, train, busses, shopping. The price is a bit high for me, but life here is worth every penny. I am so grateful to be able to live here.
My grandmother lived here for a few years - we are now looking for my mother in law! We loved the care so much we decided to look here again. The staff is compassionate and caring. I really can't say enough good things about the community and the staff. This place is very much worth looking into!!!
Everything has been great here! The thing that stuck out most about Canvas Valley Forge to me was the roll in shower in the apartments. That is why I chose this facility over others. I highly recommend.
