Testimonials

Yesterday, as I was leaving, a caregiver was signing in. The receptionist greeted her by name and mentioned that her mom was looking forward to seeing her and how her mom's day had been! Now I know from the research, that caregivers want to be recognized just like this-- included as partners in care. Heidi Hadubiak BN MBA CEC PCC congratulations on your incredible care team.

Our mother, who is living with Alzheimer’s, has been thriving at Canterbury with excellent compassionate care and support. Once her illness progresses to the stage where additional, more specialized care is needed, it is a great comfort to know that she will be able to continue to age in place in familiar surroundings with skilled and caring staff.

— D. Baker and Family
My father moved into the Lane when his dementia suddenly worsened 5 years ago. We are very grateful for the home and caring warm environment always provided at Canterbury!

Very caring staff.

— Scott
Not only is the facility beautiful, but they constantly keep all residents busy with activities that enrich their lives. I have never experienced a facility that cares for the residents as if they were family. If doesn’t matter if it is the consideration shown from management, the patience portrayed by maintenance or friendliness felt by the on floor staff, you could not go wrong with the Canterbury Foundation.

— Michelle Lyall
Fantastic! The staff is always caring, they let you visit your parents, grandparents unless they get sick or you get sick but that is perfectly fine! I love that my grandparents live here.
The staff were very polite and safe when I visited!
