Canterbury Gardens is a dedicated memory-care community that accepts residents with all stages of dementia, including advanced conditions. The medical team manages wound care, oxygen therapy, special diets, and all levels of diabetic treatment—oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin. Hospice support can be arranged, and on-site professionals such as nurses, occupational therapists, physical therapists, and a podiatrist monitor changes in health and mobility. Medication management, incontinence services, and full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, or toileting are available, and two-person transfers are performed when needed.
The community maintains an RN or LPN in the building at all times, with a nurse physically on site 24 hours a day. All employees undergo background checks, and the night shift remains awake for constant supervision. Pull-cord alert systems connect residents directly to staff, and a fenced rear area helps prevent exit-seeking. An activity director develops routines structured for memory support, and every space is designed specifically to accommodate cognitive impairment so that residents can move about with fewer barriers.
Apartments vary in layout, size, and features, but select units can accommodate pets, include wheelchair-accessible showers, or offer direct outdoor access. Every residence is climate-controlled and equipped for internet connectivity, and common lounges provide additional Wi-Fi coverage. Parking is available for visitors and for residents cleared to maintain a vehicle. Because floor plans and features differ, prospective residents should verify which specific accommodations include the options they want.
Dining services supply three daily meals with snacks offered between times, and the kitchen can adjust textures, portion sizes, and nutrient content for physician-ordered diets. Staff remain on hand to provide full assistance with eating when required, ensuring that even residents who need cueing or hand-over-hand help receive adequate nutrition.
Throughout the building, hallways and activity rooms are wheelchair accessible, and care staff receive specialized dementia training so that programs match residents’ cognitive abilities. A daily calendar includes exercise sessions and purpose-driven activities created for memory support. Families may arrange hourly or longer respite stays, and scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and community outings.
