We recently moved my mom into assisted living after being in independent living for 13 years at Canterbury On-the-Lakes. During the 13 years my mom has resided at COTL, the staff has always been supportive, kind and caring. The facility is more than adequate in that your loved one can go from independent living, to assisted living, nursing care and memory care if need be. I’ve been impressed with the activities and outings they offer the residents - always something going on! My mom was/is very fortunate to be able to view the lovely grounds(well-maintained) from both units she has lived in. There’s also a chapel on the grounds…..a BIG plus! I would recommend Canterbury to those looking for a community for themselves or loved one for the next “phase” of their lives.

My mother has lived at Canterbury for over 13 years and just recently transitioned from Independent to Assisted Living. My family has always found the staff to be extremely supportive of the residents. They offer a number of activities to keep the residents engaged and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. The grounds are beautiful during all 4 seasons and pleasing to the eye. I feel we found the best place for our mom who moved from out of state during this phase of her life to be around family. I would recommend Canterbury to others looking to make plans for their loved ones.

A legal document should mean something. A tenant is certainly held to the terms of a lease. My father was a long-standing member of the Canterbury community. After his passing, month after month, my inquiries regarding the return of his security deposit were ignored. Once it was determined that the funds should not have been held due to a "possible bill for the storage of his body from the coroner's office," expediting the check was fully expected, especially since there is no provision for this action in the lease terms. The amount of the check, the estate name, and the mailing address were confirmed mid-April, yet still no return of the deposit. Meanwhile, his estate remains unsettled. It's hoped this does not happen to other "valued members" of the Canterbury community or their families.
