My wife was in the Pavilion for 3 weeks after she had surgery. She received excellent care from everyone there. The therapists have her walking again. All the nurses and aides were extremely attentive. Food service was very good. Everyone from management on down worked as a team. All our thanks to everyone involved.

Overall, The Orchards is a great Rehab facility. Taylor is one of the best CNA's I've had. She is always helpful, joyful, and attentive. She hooks you up with the best snacks and drinks. Garrett, Shawna, Joanna, and Russell are the best therapists I've ever had. I've been able to improve and become stronger under their guidance. There are issues with the kitchen staff, but if you're attentive and assertive you will be fine.

I had a great experience during my short stay in the Pavillion. The staff were caring and attentive. Therapy team got me up and moving my first day. The DON was kind and courteous and her team worked very hard at meeting my needs. I would highly recommend.

A Wonderful Place for My Mom — Highly Recommend I am extremely happy that I chose The Orchards at Canterbury-on-the-Lake for my mom. Moving a parent from their longtime home is never easy, but this community has made the transition far smoother and more comforting than I could have hoped for. Her room in the Southminster building is very pleasant — it's a great size, includes a nice kitchen, and has a beautiful view of the trees and water. The updated finishes help it feel like a real home rather than a facility, which is incredibly important for seniors transitioning from living independently for most of their lives. There are multiple daily activities and outings, which keep residents engaged and active. The dining experience is also excellent — residents can order by phone and have meals delivered directly to their room at no additional cost. The food quality is generally very good, and this convenience makes a big difference. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the staff. Every employee I've encountered has been willing to go out of their way to help both residents and family members. It's clear they genuinely care about the residents' happiness and well-being. While everyone has been wonderful, I want to give a special thank you to Shannon, Jammie, and Debbie — their kindness and dedication have meant a great deal to our family. Another major benefit is having skilled nursing care under the same roof. When my mom was hospitalized and needed time in the nursing home for recovery, I was able to bring her back to her Southminster room regularly so she could feel at home again and spend time with her grandson. That continuity made a difficult time much easier for all of us. Overall, this has been a fantastic experience. If you're looking for a warm, caring, and comfortable community for a loved one, I highly recommend The Orchards at Canterbury-on-the-Lake.
