Canterbury House in Sacramento provides four levels of care—Assisted Living, Independent Living, Residential Care Home, and Memory Care—allowing residents to move between service tiers without leaving the community. The staff supports advanced dementia and is trained to manage behavioral issues, provide wound care, oversee oxygen therapy, and implement physician-ordered special diets. Diabetic residents receive blood-sugar monitoring and medication assistance whether they use oral agents or insulin injections, and the care team coordinates closely with outside medical providers to keep care plans current.
Continuous oversight is standard. An awake night shift and 24-hour staffing are backed by door alarms and fully fenced front and rear grounds. Residents who need help with personal care can receive full assistance for bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting. Mobility support ranges from simple standby supervision for walker users to two-person transfers, full Hoyer lift assistance, and bed-bound care, ensuring that individuals with complex physical needs can remain onsite safely.
Apartments are offered furnished or unfurnished and may include cable service, ceiling fans, housekeeping, and either in-unit laundry or scheduled laundry services; not every unit contains every feature, so prospective residents should confirm availability during a tour. Independent studio layouts can include a kitchenette, private bathroom with shower stall, and an in-suite washer and dryer. Both private and shared bathrooms are available. The maintenance team handles repairs so residents can focus on daily routines.
Meals are cooked to order three times a day, with snacks available between service times and the option for in-room dining if someone feels unwell or prefers privacy. The kitchen accommodates physician-directed diet modifications, including mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid, vegetarian, and other specialized menus. In Independent Living, medication-management monitoring is available for residents who want the freedom of a lighter service package but still need oversight to stay on schedule with prescriptions.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a movie room, and campus-wide internet access. Outdoor seating under a covered porch offers a place to relax, while a grand piano anchors the lounge for informal gatherings. Apartments feature private or shared bathrooms with wheelchair-accessible sinks, vaulted ceilings in select units, and low-lip step-in showers for easier entry.
