Birchwoods at Canco Assisted Living offers both Assisted Living and Independent Living, allowing residents to step into the level of help that matches their needs. For those in Assisted Living, the community can manage wound care, oxygen use, special diets, diabetes managed by either oral medications or insulin injections, and support for adults under 60 as well as residents living with mild dementia. A visiting podiatrist and an on-site therapy room add another layer of medical follow-through without residents having to leave the building.

Continuous oversight is built into daily life. Registered or licensed practical nurses are on staff, with a nurse on call around the clock. Background-checked team members provide awake night staffing, pull-cord and personal emergency response (PERS) monitoring, and 24-hour security. Caregivers can give full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, and they offer standby help at meals for anyone who needs cues or supervision. Mobility support ranges from walker and wheelchair assistance to one-person transfers and standby supervision, so residents can stay active while remaining safe.

Living spaces are designed for varying preferences and budgets. Apartments may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint and decorate; housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided. Because layouts differ, not every unit offers every feature, so a tour can clarify what is available in specific apartments.

Meals are included for Assisted Living residents and are available through a monthly meal plan for those in Independent Living. The kitchen prepares set menus, an on-order option, and snacks throughout the day. Diet management accommodates gluten-free choices, mechanical-chopped or puréed textures, and other physician-ordered modifications. Independent Living tenants can also opt into housekeeping and laundry services for a predictable monthly fee.

Residents have access to parking, outside smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, and a barber and beauty shop. Other amenities include a movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens with outdoor patios, an on-site library, special-interest clubs, and religious services held in the building. Mail and newspaper delivery are handled by staff, and transportation options include scheduled community shuttles for medical appointments plus proximity to public transit. Pets are allowed; it's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
