Embracing Opportunity

As a leading seniors residence and provider of seniors continuing care services and programs, Canterbury Foundation is strengthening its position to support an increasing seniors population and increased demand for quality seniors housing and services in Edmonton.

Some key principles guided the work that generated the strategic priorities for the next three years:

  1. Fewer priorities were better than many priorities.
  2. The priorities should fit into the natural flow of staff and board work.
  3. The priorities are intended to be strategic rather than operational.
  4. The priorities will help guide and measure the work of the board and of the staff.

  • 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

  • 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!
