My mother has been A resident Of Canterbury house For a few months now. Not only is the staff Wonderful And attentive to her Needs but the facility is warm, inviting, and clean. I wouldn't trust my mother to just anywhere. I'm glad I trusted them with her during this rough chapter. She is making great strides in healing due to their diligence and care. I cannot thank them enough from the bottom of my heart.

A friend is staying there while she waits test results for some neurological disorder. Hoping to get a diagnosis after another test in a couple of days. She says the staff is great, very polite and patient. My friend shares a two-bed room with a fairly advanced Alzheimer's patient. Poor thing.<br><br>Physically, the facility feels a little rundown. The exhaust fan in the bathroom makes a terrible racket. And the two TVs are on the same frequency (for lack of a better word). If one occupant turns on or off the TV or changes a channel with the remote, the other TV follows suit. And the audio comes from the TVs themselves. Her roommate is hard of hearing, so that's annoying.<br><br>The common spaces seem dull, but ok and clean. The jury is still out on food since everything was pureed today. My friend gets solid food starting tomorrow. Her daughter and I picked up Mexican food from a nearby restaurant tonight.<br><br>If need be, I could spend a few days there, but I wouldn't put my mom there long-term if we could afford some place nicer. I have no idea what this place costs per day. I assume it's cheaper than what a room at Multicare Allenmore, who referred there through at least Monday.

I came here because I was very ill. I ended up coding twice in the hospital. All the staff here is super nice and very caring. Bob, Hollie, Modesty, Jeanna, and Leand and everyone else is super nice and respectful. From the bottom of my heart, I will never forget how great everyone is. Thank you everyone, and God Bless you all.
