Key Review Excerpts

“My 5 weeks in Canterbury skilled nursing division were amazing. Came in wheelchair left on own 2 feet. All thanks to the staff at Canterbury.”

Rehab patient · 2024★★★★★

“The amazing care and rehabilitation therapy provided to my 85yo mother, Leah Van Vollenhoven, has been nothing short of outstanding.”

Long-term resident's family · 2019★★★★★

“My grandmother needed to go into rehab/skilled nursing for a few weeks following surgery on her hip and femur. I was told by many Canterbury is the preferred facility for this type of care and I’m grateful they could accept her because that was absolutely the case.”
