Canterbury Woods sits on a wide 62-acre campus in Williamsville, New York, with another location in Buffalo, so folks can pick between suburban and city life if that's what they're after, and this place has served the community since 1999 as a not-for-profit run by Episcopal Church Home and Affiliates Inc. Residents will find independent living in apartments or patio homes with one or two bedrooms, all with kitchens, bathrooms, heating, air conditioning, private dining rooms, cozy bedrooms with queen beds and floral bedding, and living rooms with big windows, plus there's lush landscaping, a welcoming fountain with red flowers, ample parking, and outdoor paved walkways by a pond, which gives a pretty view and a chance for a quiet sit on the bench outside. People can use the salon for hair care, swim in the indoor pool with equipment and access rails, or exercise in the fitness center right next door, and if they're in the mood for an event, the Canterbury Woods Performing Arts Center hosts ticketed concerts, shows, and activities.
Since this is a Continuing Care Retirement Community, folks get a full range of health services all in one place, from independent living to assisted living, skilled nursing, and memory care, and they have specialty programs for dementia, behavioral health, and person-centered long-term care, with all services accredited by CARF International since 2010. There are certified programs in Assisted Living, CCRC, and Person-Centered Long-Term Care Communities, and medical help covers occupational, physical, and speech therapy, remote patient monitoring (tele-health), care management, and medication monitoring, plus there's 24-hour skilled nursing, help with eating, bathing, dressing, walking, and emergency call systems right in the residences.
Staff speak English, and Canterbury Woods opens Monday through Saturday from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closing on Sundays, and everyone gets housekeeping, laundry, transportation, activities, dining with table linens and teal napkins, clinical care, a CACFP food program, and easy family engagement with electronic visit verification. They've got My Adult Foster Care, My Adult Home Care, My Senior Care Hub, and My Adult Behavior as products, and offer services tied to aging, child & youth help, employment and community services, vision rehabilitation, opioid treatment, and medical rehabilitation, with programs to match. Residents can choose personalized tours to meet people and see the community, use the activities calendar and Canterbury University wellness programs, check the photo gallery for living options, or get guidance with their financial gauge tool. The community feels both lively and serene, with plenty of chances for safe socializing in connected gray-roofed buildings arranged around a courtyard and pond. The focus stays on living independently, with on-site personal and nursing care always there for when someone needs more help, and people can settle in without worrying about what'll come next, since the full continuum of care is always in reach.
