What this means for your family
While independent living at this facility is highly regarded for its social environment and beautiful grounds, the skilled nursing and rehab units have received consistent, serious complaints regarding neglect and slow response times. If you are considering this facility for rehab or assisted living, we strongly recommend unannounced visits during weekends and evenings to verify staffing levels and response times for yourself.

173 reviews on Google“The Orchards at Canterbury Village offers a wide range of care levels, with many independent living residents praising the beautiful grounds, active social calendar, and friendly community atmosphere. However, there is a stark divide in experiences, particularly regarding the rehab and nursing units, where numerous families report severe neglect, including long wait times for call lights, poor hygiene, and communication failures. Families considering this facility should be aware of these significant inconsistencies in care quality between the independent living sections and the skilled nursing/rehab areas.”

Key Review Excerpts
“My father spent 24 extremely difficult days here, and the experience was heartbreaking. We visited him 3–4 times a week, and almost every time, he was unclean and left in soiled clothing.”
“The staff let you set in a wet diaper for 2.5 hours, staff love to pass the buck instead of taking care of the patient themselves . They love to give you cold food, give medicine 3 hours late then turn around and give them again 2 hours later.”
“The staff from day one has been outstanding. They are kind, respectful, helpful and entertaining to the residents as well as families of the residents.”
