My Father's Care
reviewed on: 09/08/2016 by AnonymousThis is a nice community for my father. The staff is taking excellent care of him. He is pleased with the food and the variety of meals. Activities are offered to those who want to participate. I would recommend this to other families for great care.
A place of disappointment.
reviewed on: 10/17/2017 by AnonymousThis is a very beautiful facility. Quiet rooms. Several gathering places and activities for the residents. The people are friendly and caring. Overall my Mom is happy there. They have weekly housecleaning service. They check on the residents daily. The van service to get them to doctor appointments has been very good. I wish I could give this place a 5-star rating for these reasons. But I cannot for a few glaring inadequacies. First is the food. It had improved some for awhile, but has gone down hill again. They even put in a new kitchen, but without a qualified chef, the food is mediocre at best. Not what you would expect from this type of place. The residents complain a lot amongst themselves, but don't voice it as they feel it wouldn't help. They have been served both over and undercooked dishes like: raw cornbread, raw chicken, and hockey puck meatloaf and hamburger patties, along with tasteless foods. Slightly cooked broccoli is a favorite for them to serve which those on certain medications should limit. It would help if it was soft enough to chew. The second issue has been medication administration. My mom has had 6 errors in her medication administration that we have caught in this last year. So far, thankfully, there have been no ill consequences. The leadership has appeared interested in correcting problems when brought to their attention and have made some changes, but I do not feel very comfortable yet.
A welcoming, friendly retirement facility.
reviewed on: 12/28/2020 by Laura PMy mother has enjoyed living at Canterbury Inn for the past 7 years. After investigating all the retirement homes in our area, we concluded this one was the best. Comfortable apartments, well-maintained, a lovely spacious dining room with 3 meals a day provided, nursing staff available 24 hr a day for any emergent situations, wonderful senior activities programs. All this factored into Mom’s initial decision to reside at Canterbury. But what I have learned since then and what is most important to me is the caring, warmth and thoughtfulness of all the staff towards my mom. I have complete confidence that my mom is safe and well cared for. In my interactions with the staff, they are always patient with both my mom and myself, obviously caring, go out of their way to help, conscientious. As a retired nurse, I appreciate when medical related issues have occurred with my mom the staff has responded quickly and accurately assessed the situation, giving me confidence and peace of mind.
My Dad,s perfect care
reviewed on: 08/07/2017 by JerryCMy 98 year old father spent the last 2 1/2 years of his life in Canterbury Inn. The last 6 months were under Hospice care with CI nursing staff working hand-in-hand with the hospice nurses. Every person working at CI was so caring and attentive to Dad's needs and kept him so comfortable to the very end. Family was always kept informed and we can't praise Canterbury Inn enough. Thank you for Dad's outstanding care.
