They're so friendly here! The residents are all really sweet and seem well cared for. I enjoyed my visit today when I chatted with a resident named Clyde, who was a hoot. Overall, it's a nice place where it feels like they capture the vibe of the Alliance community. I'm looking forward to visiting again!

My mom was transferred to Canterbury Villas after multiple incidence at another facility that left her feeling unsafe and nervous. My mom had severe anxiety and at times had pretty debilitating panic attacks. unfortunately her health took a turn for the worse and she passed away recently. I could not be more happy with the care at Canterbury. Every place has their problems. Everyone has issues now and then, but I saw nothing but compassion from these people and my mom felt safe and well cared for. The staff was so patient with her. Thank you so much for making her feel safe
