The Canterbury Retirement Community receives mixed reviews. Many praise the compassionate and caring staff, especially in the skilled nursing section, where they provide excellent care for terminally ill residents. The community is described as a safe and caring home with beautiful views and well-maintained facilities. Residents enjoy a variety of activities, including movies, field trips, painting, and bridge classes. The food is generally well-received, and the apartments are renovated for new residents. However, some visitors find the lobby uncomfortable for visits, lacking a cozy area for chats. The community is noted for being expensive, and some criticize the meal plans, as they only include one meal a day despite full kitchens in apartments. Concerns are raised about the administration, with reports of disorganization, rudeness, and lack of true skilled nursing care. There are complaints about poor housekeeping and inadequate assistance for residents needing help with meals. Some feel the financial inquiries are intrusive, though the community claims it is to ensure residents are not financially strained. Overall, while the community offers many amenities and activities, there are significant concerns about the administration and cost.

Of the three facilities we visited, The Canterbury would be our choice for relocating. But learning more about the nature of CC facilities made us realize we are not quite there yet. We are very thankful for the guidance we received from Jerry. and will keep the contact information.l

Memory Care

Many families shared the peace of mind they experienced when they finally chose Silverado after wrestling with feelings of guilt that comes from deciding to reach out for help. Even a family working together cannot replicate what an expert team of professionals who do this for a living and get to go home at night and rest can provide. Even superhuman strength eventually gives out. Once families make a move to Silverado and see that their loved one is better off and they can sleep again, the common refrain is, “I should have moved my loved one in earlier.” They are relieved to be the daughter, son, husband, or wife again and not the caregiver. We want to reassure you that we understand that no one knows your loved one more than you do. We are the experts in what we do, having led the way in memory care for over 20 years. Families have shared they recognized that a delay in placement is a delay in care in treating this illness, and we know that a delay can result in a dangerous crisis for the exhausted caregiver or your loved one. Do not wait for an emergency. We invite you to give us a call at (424) 488-0593 and schedule a time to visit Silverado Rolling Hills. In fact, we’re so confident that Silverado is the best choice to provide for your loved one’s needs we offer a satisfaction pledge unequaled in memory care. We look forward to meeting you soon.…
