My mother stayed with Canterbury on the Lake and it was very cramped. Accommodation was really bad. They had two patients in this itty-bitty room together and they don't have any room to maneuver around. They should have just given them more space and accommodated them better. Some of the staff are not real sympathetic. They accommodated whatever my mom wanted with regards to food and it is pretty decent food; it was not bad. The rooms and furnishing were old and cramped with no room to walk around.

When we first arrived, we looked for the "call button". The roommate said: "They won't come. They never come." She was right. Average response time was 30 minutes, often to be told they had to get someone else, which took another 15 minutes. If your family member needs assistance going to the bathroom, go somewhere else. My wife had a stroke, but was using a walker. When she arrived on a Friday, they would not provide a walker until she had been "approved" by someone who would not be back until Monday. She didn't last that long: she was sent back to the hospital on Sunday night because her blood pressure spiked after having to yell for help to get to the bathroom.

I was very pleased to see how well the nurses and staff took care of our uncle and the rest of the residents. The facilities seemed to be very well kept, clean in common areas, and the rooms were nice. The outside grounds were very nice as well and there was beautiful lake that the residents could visit if they'd like. The staff was also very accommodating to us while we visit and allows us our time without too much interruption. The nurses also kept us abreast of anything that we should be aware of and just generally seemed to take very good care of our uncle. The facility also seemed to have quite a few activities and social events for the residents to take part in, including a visit to a major league baseball game. This really pleased my uncle, till this day he still talks about the game. Overall, I would definitely rate our experience with this Assisted Living facility as very positive.
