Canterbury Inn Assisted Living Community

My mom moved into Canterbury Inn about two months ago. It's good so far. It's very friendly. The only bad thing is that due to COVID, they had to shut down a lot of stuff.

My mom moved into Canterbury Inn about two months ago. It's good so far. It's very friendly. The only bad thing is that due to COVID, they had to shut down a lot of stuff. It's starting to reopen now. They're very friendly and helpful people. The nursing staff is wonderful. Everything was shut down due to Covid, so they can't eat in the facility. They had to have their food brought to their rooms. All the activities are shut down because they can't do them with COVID going around because of the mandate. They have a hair salon. My mom enjoys the food. It's just the food has all been brought to the room, so they can't interact or function. It's not their fault; it is just what was put in place.

I went to Canterbury Inn. I liked it. I thought it was very clean, and I liked the fact that some of the rooms had sliding doors that went out into a garden area.

I went to Canterbury Inn. I liked it. I thought it was very clean, and I liked the fact that some of the rooms had sliding doors that went out into a garden area. So if you had a pet, you could take him out there, you wouldn't have to go through the whole building or anything. I like the fact that you could have a pet. We were offered a time to come in for a meal and try the food because I had mentioned that, we didn't go, but they did offer. I just thought they were very nice. I thought the rooms were kind of small. When you go from a home into two rooms, it's a big shock. I thought they were very nice. The staff was very nice, and then the director did stop by and say hello to us and talk to us. The one thing I didn't like, is if once you got in there and settled, if one of you needed more care like memory care or something, you would be split up and you'd be in two different units. That was one thing I didn't like, you couldn't stay together. Canterbury had a bus that would take you somewhere once a week, even if it was close to Fred Meyer, or something like that. You could take the bus and go somewhere, and sometimes go sightseeing.

We visited Canterbury Inn. It's very nice, but the prices are astronomical. They catered to the rich. They have a special memory care unit. The people were very nice. I appreciated that.

We visited Canterbury Inn. It's very nice, but the prices are astronomical. They catered to the rich. They have a special memory care unit. The people were very nice. I appreciated that. They all have activities throughout the day for their patients which is wonderful. I liked that they had arts and crafts stuff going on, little workouts going on that the people could take part in, which my mom and I did. I took my mom there and we took part in one of their little workouts, which is very doable. My mom was able to do it and it was good. But at seventy-six hundred a month, it's just too much. The dining room was absolutely lovely, but we did not partake in any meals.

This community was not quite as good as the main community that I went with. My main choice just stood out too much for me to go with the other.

I visited Canterbury Inn and that's the one we are going to go with. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I liked the dining rooms. I liked that mom had options. They had two different dining rooms and different feeding times, so she had more options there. I also liked that everything was right there. She's pretty independent, but she's going to start needing more assistance. She's 89, and then the memory care unit is also right there if she deteriorates into that. I liked where she could stay forever. We wouldn't have to move her around to different places. That was probably the biggest thing. The independent and assisted is kind of mixed together, but she is more independent, and then they will just assess her. She hasn't done the assessment yet. They will assess how much help she needs, but they don't think she's going to need very much help at the beginning. I was there late and they didn't hurry me or anything, and I really appreciated that. The staff member during the tour was very friendly and very observant, because she showed me one room, and I think she realized I was pretty disappointed. Then the next room she showed me, which she wasn't going to originally because the person had just moved out, and it wasn't ready to be shown, but she did anyway because she thought from the comments I had made that my mom would like that room, and she was correct. It's a great room for my mom, so I liked how she kind of went off the offer set plan when she met me and talked to me and was able to switch it up. The food smelled really good because it was dinnertime, but we didn't have any food at that time. We're going to eat there soon. My mom will be here and we'll go over together.

My uncle will be moving into Canterbury Inn. Our experience has been very good.

My uncle will be moving into Canterbury Inn. Our experience has been very good. I'm impressed with the facility, I'm impressed with Shauna who's been coordinating all of this, and I've also dealt with Ray, who's the executive director. I'm very pleased, because right now we have his room on hold because he's in a skilled nursing facility for rehab and medications. They have good programs, but we haven't experienced any of that yet. They had a library. I've been very happy with the people I've dealt with.
