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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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.

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

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 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 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).

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
