A comfortable home environment for my Father
My father and I visited a few senior living communities, from upper sale to lower scale price ranges and found Canterbury on the Lake to be the perfect fit for him. My father has been in this facility for 3 months now and has just begun to completely engage in the activities, and socializing, he is really enjoying the interaction. His 1-bedroom apartment is the perfect size for him. The amenities are modern and in good working order. Any issues he had with his apartment were corrected promptly. The staff are very friendly, and interacting with the residents, encouraging residents to interact in the activities. After our initial visit at this facility my father felt at home, and informed me the next day to reserve the apartment we looked at, he said this is the place he wanted to live at. After 3 months of living here his health seems better, his attitude to life has greatly improved. He is so much more outgoing and happy now. This was a perfect fit for him.

Our experience
You could not find a nicer staff. The facility does need some updates, but for the money it can't beat. Apartment sizes here are more than adequate.

Community Tour
My loved one always thought this is where she would go when the time came, since she had several friends who had gone here. But the timing didn't work out. There was a 6 month waiting list when we toured. Also, it was more money, but that wouldn't have been an issue had the timing worked out. From my perspective, it smelled more like a nursing home than others we looked at. But it was clean, and in general, everything was great. The food was good. And it seemed to be a place that was well liked by its residents.

Highly recommend
The more involved I was with the facility, the better it was. Having everyone know I made an appearance on a regular basis certainly helped and the staff appreciate it as well. The activities they did were redundant, but they did them 3 times a day which I liked. She said the food that she had was good and if she did not like it then they would make her something else. I would highly recommend Canterbury on the Lake to other families.

This is a GREAT place to live for senior citizens.
This is a GREAT place to live. As a senior gets older, they need more care at different levels. At Canterbury on the Lake, the resident can receive the care that they need. All of the staff is extremely knowledgable and very kind to all of the residents.

tour review
Our family had an in person tour and looking at the memory care place it just seemed like it was a little out dated and we did not like where it was located. The residents seemed separated from the others and it felt like a dungeon. The staff were super pleasant but from looking at the memory care side we were not impressed. We are sure the assisted living side was different.

Friendly and caring staff
We chose Canterbury on the Lake because it provided more of what we were looking for as far as the ability to provide all levels of care. If we needed to move my mom, we could move her within the facility. The room sizes here seem to be adequate for her needs. I haven't eaten here but have seen the menu, it looks pretty good. Overall, I would recommend to others looking.

Canterbury on the Lakes; a good choice!
My father has been at Canterbury on the Lake for 3 months and I couldn't be more pleased. He is in their Memory Care facility and the staff is excellent. There are activities on a regular basis that he can participate in if he chooses. The staff is attentive to his eating habits and he likes the food. The atmosphere is cheery and the place is clean. He has learned that if he needs assistance and pulls the cord in his room someone comes immediately. Canterbury on the Lake has given my family peace of mind knowing that our dad is getting exceptional care.

The facility was clean, bright and cheery. I especially loved the murals on many of the walls, depicting outdoor scenes. I was impressed with the section which looked like a neighborhood shopping area where the gift shop, beauty parlor, clinic, etc. were located. The residents I observed seemed happy. The staff was very friendly.

Nice Independent Living Community
This is a very nice community. It is a nice and clean community, everything appeared well maintained. The staff I met was very kind and informative. This is more of an independent living community. I didn't think my parents were ready for that. Overall it was a nice tour.

Nobody ever came to talk to me, so I just left.
I looked at the Canterbury. It was too over the top for me. When I went in, I had to go way in the back. I didn't get to go into the front where all the fanciness is. I sat and waited and waited, but nobody ever came to talk to me, so I just left.

Nice, but expensive.
We toured Canterbury on the lake, during our search for a suitable place for our loved one. It was very nice. The cost was a little higher than we were looking for.

Tips for evaluating your community options
Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
Know the Michigan regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Michigan regulations for Assisted Living.
