Canterbury Woods is a senior living community in Pacific Grove, California, set on six wooded acres just a short walk from the beach and near downtown. The community supports up to 190 residents and offers many care options like Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care, skilled nursing, and a nursing home with Medicare accepted and four of 24 certified beds usually available. It provides respite care for caregiver relief, non-ambulatory care, and help with bathing, dressing, and medication management, all backed by a licensed staff and a 24-hour call system for safety. Canterbury Woods focuses on the well-being of seniors with daily activities, music nights around a grand piano, lectures, discussion groups, and outdoor programs. The staff includes people experienced in neuropsychology and dementia care, with assessments and elder care consultations for memory disorders and psychotherapy. The facility has a variety of room options-studios, one- and two-bedroom units, and flexible floor plans, some with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, cable TV, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and phones, though some apartments are small, dark, and not very private. Residents enjoy community amenities like gardens and a koi pond, outdoor spaces, walking trails, a fitness room, a game room, a library, a movie theater, and rooms for arts and wellness. There's a dining room where a chef prepares meals with sensitivity to special diets, including all-day options, and the staff serves these meals kindly. Transportation, parking, housekeeping, laundry, move-in coordination, and concierge services are available for convenience. The facility is non-profit and follows state license rules (License #270708224). Canterbury Woods encourages connection and social life with resident and family councils, card games, cultural events, concerts, and classes. The grounds are well-kept with peaceful walking paths and space to enjoy nature. It's part of the Front Porch Community, focusing on personal attention, a sense of belonging, and flexible financial options, including month-to-month agreements with no entrance fee. The community is meant for seniors seeking a place with all levels of help, steady support, and opportunities to stay active in a welcoming and friendly setting.
