Canterbury Gardens is consistently praised by families for its compassionate, attentive staff and clean, inviting environment, particularly within their memory care unit.

“My mom lived at Canterbury Gardens Memory care over 5 years and during that time we came to see her caretakers as part of our family.”
“My uncle Mike had wonderful Alzheimer's-focused care during his time in the facility. I was very thankful to know he was being well taken care of!”
“Absolutely unbeatable help and patience in every way for years with very difficult father and stepmom both with alzheimers! Karri, Alli, Julie, Rebecca ... covered all bases and so caring, friendly and supportive of not just residents but all the family too!!!”
