This facility has areas of concern that warrant careful consideration. The latest standard survey recorded 22 findings, above the WV average of 13.8. We recommend asking the administrator directly: "How are you addressing recent staffing shortfalls?" These are not reasons to panic, but they are reasons to ask tough questions and visit in person.
Canterbury Center receives polarized feedback, with some families praising the compassionate nursing and therapy teams, while others report severe neglect and staffing shortages. While many reviewers highlight a clean environment and helpful administrative staff, recurring complaints regarding slow call-bell response times, poor hygiene, and missing personal belongings suggest significant inconsistencies in care quality.

Key Review Excerpts
“PT, OT, Speech and Social Services were the best I’ve ever had. They were so thorough, knowledgeable and caring!”
“My mother was submitted for comfort care because i vouldnt meet her needs at home and she was cared for gently and consistently throughout her stay.”
“Patient care is minimal, understaffed constantly in all departments. They have had to use pillow cases to wash my mother, cannot get her diet correct after 7 months.”
Total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmark, though RN coverage meets its reference level. Ask how aides are staffed for daily tasks such as bathing and mobility.
Reference benchmarks (0.75 RN and 4.1 total nursing hours per resident/day) are comparison targets, not current federal minimum requirements.

Some summaries, interpretations, suggested questions, and pricing research are AI-generated or AI-assisted and may contain errors or omit important context. Listings do not constitute endorsement, recommendation, or advertisement, and we do not accept payment for placement.
