There are key staff that make this retirement home absolutely amazing. Thank you for the excellent service and the quality of your programs.
May 2026
A family member stayed at Canterbury Place for respite care, and are very grateful for the experience. The residence has a warm, welcoming feeling, the facilities are very nice, and the staff are friendly, attentive, and consistently go above and beyond. It gave us real peace of mind knowing he was being cared for in such a kind and supportive environment.
April 2026
My company has assisted a few moves into Canterbury. Simone is absolutely wonderful. She is quick to answer questions, she's compassionate and understanding. All the staff say hello to you and will help you in an instant. The food is wonderful. As soon as you walk through the doors you are well taken care of. A true gem of a place.
February 2026
I enjoyed my two week stay in February 2026. My suite at Cantebury Place was attractive and comfortable. The meals were tasty and attractively served. The atmosphere was calm and caring. I appreciated that hot beverages were always available. The laundry toon was accessible but I needed instruction to use the up to date washer and dryer. I will choose Cantebury Pace for residence if and when I need help or respite from my daily living. Joan Patterson
February 2026
I had a very enjoyable two week respite stay at Canterbury Place. The staff are very nice and most helpful. There are good meals with choice and are attractively presented.
December 2025
A month ago, I spent two weeks for respite care at Canterbury Place after my knee-replacement operation. I would like to point out the exceptional treatment I received from Simone Rowe, Community Relations manager. From the first telephone call when I was trying to arrange respite care to my time at the residence, Simone was wonderful, even though due to cancellation of my operation by the hospital, I had to change arrangements at Canterbury Place twice. My stay at the residence was excellent. I would like to compliment the warm staff.
October 2025
My mother lived here for over 3 years, and during this time the place felt like home to both her and myself. The staff are friendly, professional and warm. I always felt that our questions were considered respectfully. I look forward to moving there myself when I am older! Thank you Canterbury, for everything.
September 2025
Our aunt moved into Canterybury Retirement Residence just over two months ago, and she’s been describing it as like living on a cruise ship ever since! The staff have been absolutely wonderful. We’d like to highlight just a few who made her transition so smooth: Thanks to Simone and the community ambassador, she felt warmly welcomed from the start. The dining services team even arranged a special welcome dinner, which truly made her feel at home. Lette has also been incredibly kind and patient, offering great support during her medical assessment. We’re deeply grateful for the care, professionalism, and personal attention our aunt has received. It’s given our whole family peace of mind.
August 2025
We had a very good impression of Canterbury Place Retirement Residence on every visit. Place is bright and clean, the food is good, and the staff is friendly. Above all, Simone is wonderful. She is cheerful and patient. Simone answers all our questions in a timely manner, and understands my aunt and uncle's needs. Simone also makes today's lease signing process go smoothly.
June 2025
I’ve had the pleasure of visiting Canterbury Place several times, both for community events and to mingle with staff and residents, and I’m always impressed by the warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff always creates a safe, vibrant, and supportive environment. The space is beautiful, with great amenities and a strong sense of community. As someone in home care, I appreciate how collaborative and responsive the team is when it comes to resident needs. Compassion and quality of life are at the heart of what they do. If you’re looking for a residence that feels like home, with people who treat your loved one like family, Canterbury Place is a wonderful choice. Thanks, Simone, Shantal, Roshan for always welcoming me to your Community.
April 2025
I have been a part of Canterbury Place for several years now, for which I am very grateful. Every time I visit, I am impressed with the quality and beauty of the residence and with the warmth of its people, both the residents and the staff. There are always lots of activities to take part in at CP, there are plenty of new friends to be made, and the standard of care is top-notch. It is a friendly and very special place. I highly recommend Canterbury Place in every way!
April 2025
I've visited here twice now and its a top notch place. very nice staff and a great facility. I highly recommend!!!
March 2025
Wonderful establishment. My parents are very happy to be there. The management and organization of the facility, the food, the quality and attentiveness of the staff is outstanding. Couldn't be happier. I personally have experience with other homes and this is one of the finest I have seen. Top marks.
August 2024
My husband stayed at Canterbury Place for two weeks while I was away. It is a beautiful place with excellent food. The amenities provided something for everyone. The staff was friendly and extremely competent. The residences' interest and care was of paramount importance. We feel fortunate to have access to a home away from home when needed.
March 2024
I wanted to take a moment to express my gratitude for the warm hospitality I experienced during my recent visit to your home. From the moment I stepped in, I was greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere that immediately put me at ease. Your attention to detail and commitment to customer service truly stood out, making my visit a memorable one. I would also like to extend a special thank you to your maintenance supervisor Vincent and Donna, the dining server, for their friendly and courteous service. Your staff’s professionalism and dedication to ensuring a pleasant experience did not go unnoticed and were greatly appreciated. Thank you once again for a wonderful experience.
August 2023
Magnificent place. Has a certain warmth like home. Very accommodating and polite staff with a great smile.
August 2023
My husband was in short term respite. He was treated with respect, dignity and love. The staff love their work and their residents and it permeates throughout the gorgeous building. The enterainment director, Simone Rowe, has a real eye for decorating and the parties are absolutely special along with the entertainment. Always happy residents. Thank you
June 2023
Since 2015, my mother & father had the pleasure of living at Canterbury Place Retirement Residence in Toronto. I cannot express enough how impressed I was with every aspect of their experience. My mother has since moved on to a Long Term Care facility and I can honestly say that we miss life at Canterbury. First and foremost, the management team and staff at Canterbury Place are exceptional. They go above and beyond to ensure that every resident feels valued, respected, and cared for. Their dedication to providing personalized attention and support is truly commendable. Whether it was assisting with daily activities, organizing engaging social events, or simply offering a friendly smile and conversation, the staff consistently demonstrated their commitment to creating a welcoming and inclusive community. The facilities at Canterbury Place are top-notch. The residence is beautifully designed, with clean, spacious and comfortable living areas that exude a sense of tranquility and elegance. The suites are thoughtfully designed, providing a safe and spacious layout allowing ample room for walking devices. Floor to ceiling sliding doors and windows provide abundant natural light and dual access to a large balcony with incredible views of busy Yonge Street and the City. The common areas, such as the dining room, multiple lounges, cafes, games room, terraces and state of the art theatre are tastefully decorated and offer a perfect space for socializing and relaxation. Each floor has been recently updated with new corridor carpeting and is equipped with newly renovated laundry facilities. One of the highlights of my parents stay was the exceptional white glove dining experience at Canterbury Place. The culinary team consistently delivered delicious and nutritious meals, catering to a variety of dietary preferences and restrictions. The menu featured a wide range of options, and the quality of the ingredients was evident in every bite. The dining staff were attentive and friendly, ensuring that every meal was a delightful experience. I regularly enjoyed joining my parents for lunch and/or dinner. The range of activities and amenities available at Canterbury Place is truly impressive. From fitness classes and wellness programs to cultural outings and educational workshops, there is something for everyone. The robust programming schedule is thoughtful and full of variety. The Life Enrichment team really make an effort and are creative in bringing variety of interesting, engaging and fun activities to the residents. The sense of community fostered through these activities and amenities is invaluable, creating opportunities for socializing, making new friends, and pursuing personal interests. Since COVID, the residence has implemented comprehensive protocols and measures to ensure the well-being of all residents. From regular health screenings to 24/7 emergency response systems, every precaution is taken to provide a secure and comfortable living environment. The nursing team are extremely knowledgeable, reliable and organized when it comes to the dynamics of medication management and caring for the acute and long term medical needs of the residents. The team of PSWs are so loving and patient. They form genuine relationships with the residents that compel them to go above and beyond their basic job requirements. Overall, my parents (and my), experience at Canterbury Place Retirement Residence was nothing short of exceptional. The management team should be commended as the overall product offering has been materially elevated in recent years. All aspects of the facility and services is considered in my opinion to be extremely high touch but not stuffy. The combination of outstanding staff, beautiful facilities, delectable dining, engaging activities, and a strong sense of community truly sets this residence apart. I wholeheartedly recommend Canterbury Place to anyone seeking a retirement community that prioritizes dignity, comfort, care, and a vibrant lifestyle.
May 2023
This is a great retirement community. It is diverse, warm and friendly. There are fun and interesting resident activities and good cuisine. Staff and management are friendly and supportive. The healthcare professionals and team are very attentive and responsive. It gives me peace of mind to know that my Father is so well taken care of.

the Canterbury place is providing a good service and the residences are very friendly. Thank you all the staffs for your help.
December 2022
Unfortunately my Mom only enjoyed 6 months at Canterbury Place and then passed away. But I was grateful that for the last 6 months of her life she was able to relax and not worry about cooking and cleaning. She loved Canterbury Place and said it made her feel like when she was on a cruise ship (great dining, movie theatre and activities). Thanks Canterbury Place!!!
November 2022
Our family would like to express a big thank you to all of the staff for their help in making our parents' stay at Canterbury Place a wonderful experience. Their kindness was truly appreciated! Our parents really enjoyed their lovely two bedroom suite, and the amenities - which were recently refreshed. My Mom in particular participated in many of the varied social events and enjoyed the sense of community she felt there.
October 2022
Canterbury Place is a lively community. Before my mom moved there, she did not think she would enjoy living in a retirement home. Her opinion of retirement homes changed drastically after moving to Canterbury Place. Canterbury Place is very conveniently located and it is a multi-cultural community where everyone is friendly and welcoming. My mom made many friends and enjoyed many activities there. Suffice to say, it wasn't an easy decision for her to move to a different retirement home after spending only one year in Canterbury Place. She is now closer to family. I like to mention that both the management and the staff of Canterbury Place were very accommodating before, during and after my mom moved. They did everything possible to make the transition as smooth as possible. We are very grateful for their kindness.
October 2022
I have been to Canterbury place and from the moment you walk inside you are greeted with bright smile which warmed my heart immediately. All the staffs at Canterbury place are attentive, helpful, understanding and if have to describe in one word, they are simply Amazing’. Canterbury place is very clean and accessible for everyone and all the staffs are very caring to the residents needs and safety.
October 2022
Canterbury Retirement Residence is such an amazing place. Every staff member is so friendly and helpful. There are so many activities going on and the residents seem so engaged. They have artists come in to teach how to paint and learn new skills and so many great performances. The food is amazing and they have great options. I love how welcome I felt there and the bright positive energy! Thank you Canterbury!

Canterbury has shown that they are committed to supporting their neighbours in the Willowdale community! They have sponsored entertainment at NeighbourLink North York's Willowdale Winterfest virtual event and in person senior event at Willowdale Manor! On behalf of the NeighbourLink team, thank you for the support!

I worked as a co-op student and had an amazing experience with everything. The management and residents are amazing and very helpful every time.
August 2022

I moved to Canterbury Place in mid February of this year. I chose Canterbury because the team makes sure residents are safe and Covid protocols are followed. Being at Canterbury makes me be around people and I wish I can socialize more. The staff and management team is very nice, kind, considerate and polite.They make me feel at home and I need to try my best to adapt.

Canterbury Place is a fantastic home! All the staff are outstanding! My parents are so happy with their move to Canterbury. My mother, Catherine, enjoys many activities such as bingo, movie night and cruise week. My father, Thomas, loves the food! The guest musical artists provide fun entertainment to the community. Everyone from Marketing, Reception, Housekeeping, Nursing, Dining, Maintenance and Management makes my parents feel welcome. A special acknowledgement to Maureen for helping with the smooth transition! I am very appreciative of all that you do to accommodate them. Thank you so much! Corinne

So pleased with Canterbury's services and personnel. My father has felt comfortable for the many years he has been living there. Kudos to the staff who have gone out of their way to ensure his needs are met. We are grateful for all the precautions and attention given to ensure the residents are kept informed and safe during these difficult times related to the COVID 19 pandemic.

Great residence, really nice people work there!
November 2021
Canterbury has been outstanding in its approach to the COVID pandemic. They were ahead of the game in ensuring that residents were protected from the virus with masks, plastic face covers, restricted visiting and then vaccines. Staff are friendly, warm and caring, there are a range of interesting activities, and the food is great. Our close friend lived there for two years, and we have nothing but praise for everything (except the elevators).

Thank you, thank you, thank you! When Covid started over a year ago, Maureen asked me to write a note for the staff to acknowledge the sacrifices that everyone is making during this unprecedented time. It slipped my mind but after what I heard what was done for my mother today, I have to let you know that the staff, past and present, that work at the Canterbury Place are angels on earth. They make a world of difference to all the seniors living in this community. I know, as with the rest of my family, that my mother is the best place. I can remember that fateful day back in January 2017 when I met Maureen, Rachelle and Gary for the first time, and I knew it was going to be an amazing experience for my parents. This experience continues today. A special thanks goes out to Mario. He is a rock, a saint, and very much appreciated for what he does to keep the building running smoothly. Actually, this sentiment goes out to all the staff. What you do is important, and it takes a special personality and commitment to put up with all those old folks:) Take care, be safe, stay healthy and more importantly be kind to each other. We need each other more than ever at this time. Tony

Dear Hanaa , Kimberley and Andrea ON behalf of my family I wanted to thank you for your kind attention to my mother’s 100th birthday. She enjoyed the attention that you brought to her and the cake (lemon of course!) was outstanding. A special shout out to Andrea for her great help yesterday when my mum was feeling a little overwhelmed by the day. The kind of care she offered was truly appreciated Again thank you so much for your gracious care and attention to the newest centenarian at Canterbury!
May 2021
I've been dealing with Maureen and the marketing team at Canterbury for many years and I love with working with them! They are a sweet bunch and I highly recommend going to speak with them if your looking for a place for your elder parents to live a fun filled life. Daniel Fagen - Boomerang Marketing

Canterbury Place is a great place to spend your retirement years. They have very friendly and helpful staff, great food and lots of activities for residents. I can only hope, I can retire in such a great community.
May 2021
Top notch management team with all the skills and experience to take care of your loved ones. The residence is immaculately clean and their expansive recreation options always keep the residents engaged and entertained!
May 2021
Canterbury's staff go out of their way to provide meaningful programming and activities. They care about the residents and their well-being at every level. The building is lovely with sunny rooms, cosy sitting areas, stocked kitchens and snack areas, areas for all hobbies and interests, and a great location in Toronto. The residents themselves make a lot of friends with each other. A good feeling here.

The team at Canterbury Place continue to create a warm and welcoming environment year after year.

The team at Canterbury Place has been amazing! In the process of moving our mom from the US, during Covid, and carrying out all the logistics remotely, Maureen Gold, and her staff have been exceptional! We are finally able to rest, knowing that mom, is in good, caring, loving hands. Thank you Maureen and the entire Canterbury team for making this happen!!
February 2021
My father-in-law has been living at Canterbury Place for several years now. He’s very happy to be there and it has proven to be a great choice. The location is great “ right near the subway, a Metro supermarket, and a wonderful public library (though Canterbury Place itself has an extensive library of its own). The employees are accommodating and warm. A variety of social and exercise programs are available. We were very impressed that management sent out regular email updates to family informing us about things related to Covid procedures and infection controls. I would recommend Canterbury Place “ and in fact, I did to my cousin, who subsequently moved in.
February 2021
All staff are very friendly and organized. My mom is lucky to be here. Thanks to all Canterbury Staff !! Keep up the good work!
February 2021
My 97 year old mother has lived at Canterbury Place for many years. She has always been happy with the staff and programs. COVID came along and life changed and many adjustments had to be made to protect the residents. During the many necessary changes, restrictions and adjustments that had to be made, my mother always said she felt safe there and that everyone was always trying to do their best at all times. Diane Matto
February 2021
My grandmother has been living at Canterbury Place Retirement Residence for about 5 years now. Since DAY 1, the staff, the cleanliness, the support and the love, have been second to none. At 93 she still has her independence and enjoys all the extracurriculars this wonderful place has to offer.
February 2021
Excellent - so happy we found it. My Parents moved here from Peterborough to be close to Family and the staff at Canterbury are so caring they are a solid 5. There was no drama in convincing my parents to move to their new "home" once they settled in (a real relief with 80+ year olds!) very happy. Safe and friendly in times like these - I am so appreciative and being their only child caregiver outside of Canterbury, so pleased. - Bryan

Our mother has been in Canterbury for the past four years and enjoying the accommodations and care from the very attentive staff. The new GM is doing a great job keeping the residences and staff safe during these covid times.
February 2021
My dad has been here for a few months and we are so happy with the facilities and staff. He is much happier here than his previous retirement home. Would recommend.
February 2021
Canterbury Place has done an excellent job during this Pandemic and especially on vaccinations! They lobbied and procured doses for all residents and for designated essential caregivers. I can't thank them enough for pushing to get the vaccines, especially for essential caregivers so we can interact directly and safely with our family members. Both of my parents are at Canterbury Place and I am so thankful that as of today! (Feb 11) both my parents and myself have received both doses of the vaccine. Everyone did an excellent job coordinating this massive effort and can't express my heartfelt thanks in ensuring a safe and happy environment for our family.
February 2021
The decision to move our Dad to Canterbury Place was a great one, especially during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. Canterbury Place has done a remarkable job at keeping its residents and staff safe. Moreover, Canterbury Place successfully secured 1st and 2nd doses of the Moderna vaccine for residents, staff and essential caregivers in the midst of vaccine supply challenges. While our dad hasn't been able to partake in all the of the activities and emmenities Canterbury Place has to offer, or interact with other residents as would like because of the pandemic, we can rest assured that he is in an exceptionally safe place with access to medical care, exercise, caring staff, and high quality food without having to leave the facility. I would also like to call out Sales and Marketing Manager, Maureen Gold, for her personal attention and responsiveness to our dad's needs when he initially joined the Canterbury Place community.
February 2021
Canterbury Place Retirement residence is an excellent establishment with all the facilities you would wish for. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful; especially Maureen who made the transition process very easy. Would highly recommend this residence for anyone who is looking for a retirement home.
January 2021
Our dad was at Canterbury Place for 5 years. He was quite independent when he first arrived, but needed a fair amount of help in the later stage of his stay. The staff were always so cheerful and helpful to him, for which we are most appreciative. They are constantly investing in the facility and programs to make it a better experience for the residents. To the staff - thank you so much for all you did to make dad's experience a wonderful one! We appreciate everyone from the front desk to the caregivers and nurses, to the the dining room staff to the maintenance people. You all are wonderful. We would definitely recommend Canterbury Place to someone looking for a retirement residence.
January 2021
My father has lived at Canterbury Place for 3 years now, and he is very happy with the accommodation and staff. The location is excellent, being right on Yonge Street, a block north of the North York subway station. There is a supermarket within walking distance, and some residents utilize that to help them stay active. There are restaurants everywhere, if one wants more variety. The entertainment provided is top notch, and the food has been been good to excellent whenever I joined him for meals. Covid-19 has been a huge challenge both for staff and residents. Management has taken very stringent precautions with Covid-19, and continues to do the utmost to keep the residents safe. Residents have been much more isolated than in normal times, to prevent the spread of any incursion of the virus. Thank goodness all staff and almost all residents (all who wanted to) have now been vaccinated (not all have received the second dose yet but that's scheduled to happen soon too). Hopefully the activities will be expanded as safety permits in the near future! Because I help my father with some medical and other stuff, I had to register as an essential care provider which has now provided me with an unexpected benefit: I too was offered to receive the vaccine - which of course I happily accepted! Fun fact: my father found out about Canterbury Place from me, as I am a member of a community choir (the Choralairs of North York) that performs for seniors at LTCs and retirement residences, and we performed there among other places. I was very impressed with Canterbury and suggested it to my dad... the rest is history!
September 2020
I have been involved with Canterbury Place for five years now helping an elderly couple navigate this stage in their lives. From the day we toured this residence to the day my friends had to move on to long term care this month, the staff, all staff from managment and nursing to the last PSW, has been kind, supportive and always considerate of the needs of their residents. The patience and hard work, and yes courage in these difficult times, has been exemplary. Canterbury Place is an excellently run residence that I highly recommend to anyone who has come to that difficult moment when their loved one or friends can no longer cope on their own but can still enjoy a measure of independence.
August 2020
My mother lived at Canterbury Place for 2 years (prior to her recent passing) at 97. She loved the place, the location, the friendly community and the staff....who are simply excellent at all levels and very accommodating. She took part in many activities (daily exercise class, bridge club, movie nights and the afternoon coffee club). Once she moved in, her spirits lifted and she felt 20 years younger! My only regret is that we didn't move in several years earlier. Many children of elderly parents are worried about sending their parents into a retirement facility......but the socialization aspect simply rejuvenates many people....my mother was among them. Highly Recommend Canterbury for the golden years.
July 2020
Hi everyone (and I mean everyone!) no matter what job or position you have at Canterbury: I believe it's important to tell you how we feel. You have been caring, communicative, friendly, hard working and definitely BRAVE! This is so appreciated - hard to express how much. We know you all tried your very best to keep all the residents and yourselves informed and safe these last 5 months. And you have done a great job! I'm confident that this will continue, with our efforts to support you. Thank You thank you thank you Jack Berke suite 1308, Philip Berke (son), Hugh Berke (son)
July 2020
My mother moved to Canterbury Place only two months before COVID-19. We were so impressed with the residence from day one from the wonderful activities to the dining, and the level of care provided. The lock down came and the efforts to keep everyone safe through such challenges was absolutely wonderful. This has been a trying time for everyone but even more so for our seniors. Canterbury has managed so well through this, ensuring residents are engaged and not feeling isolated. We can’t say enough about how much we appreciate everything the staff has done and continues to do. It gives us such peace of mind. Thank you!
July 2020
My father has been at Canterbury retirement home for over a year. We have found the entire staff to be extremely caring and responsive during this time, and throughout the Covid-19 crisis, they went above-and-beyond in their communication and care.
July 2020
We are so grateful to the staff and management of Cantebury Place in being kind and patient and making the best of a difficult situation during this pandemic. You all deserve 5 stars. And if the time ever comes when I need a senior's residence, Cantebury Place will be first on my list.
July 2020
Canterbury Place has been home to my brother for over almost 3 years and I want to compliment the staff on the level of service and their attention to detail that they have provided to him. During this difficult COVID time, they have taken exceptional steps in protecting the residents, providing continuous information to the families by email and have always been available to speak with by phone. I would not hesitate to recommend Canterbury Place to anyone seeking a seniors' residence.

Our family has really appreciated all the kindness and support shown to our dad, and to our family, over the years he’s been living there. We are particularly grateful for the exceptional effort and care during these unique Covid circumstances. Thank you! Andrea Alimi

I can't praise the management and staff enough. Canterbury Place has always been run professionally and have kept our loved ones happy, healthy, safe and secure, especially through these changing times. My greatest thanks to the wellness and housekeeping teams, who have treated my mother with the utmost dignity and respect. Canterbury Place builds and maintain a strong sense of community and belonging which is so important in one's golden years. Thank you, one and all!
