Some journeys take families down separate paths, filled with uncertainty, hope, and countless unanswered questions.

For a long time, this couple walked their own roads, each on a different journey, while their family wondered if they would ever be able to come home together again.

Today, this photo says everything.

Together. At home. Where they belong.

At Canterbury, we believe love doesn’t stop at transitions, and neither should togetherness. We work intentionally, compassionately, and creatively to ensure couples can remain side by side, through change, through care needs, and through every chapter that follows.

Because home is not just a place.
It’s being together. ❤️

💙 Thank You for Answering the Call 💙

As our 6th Annual Promise of Home Fundraising Campaign came to a close on December 31, we want to pause and say one simple, but heartfelt, thank you.

Because of your generosity, we raised $125,845 in just five weeks. This incredible outpouring of care will have an immediate and meaningful impact on the lives of our residents.

As you answered the call, here’s what we heard:
💬 “There is a special environment and spirit of care on Canterbury Lane… Committed care staff make a real difference!”
💬 “Your care and concern for families at Canterbury is evident every day.”

While we set an ambitious goal of $175,000, we are deeply inspired by the trust, generosity, and commitment of our community, and we know that together, we will reach this milestone in 2026.

If you’d still like to give, donations are always welcome:

Thank you for standing with us in our shared beliefs and for being the Heart of Canterbury. 💙

When the Holidays Raise Quiet Questions

The holidays often bring families together, sometimes for the first time in a while.
And with that time together, families may notice subtle changes in someone they love.

Maybe Mom seemed more tired than usual.
Maybe Dad struggled with daily tasks that once felt easy.
Maybe something just felt… different.

Noticing changes doesn’t mean panic, it means care.
This January, we’re sharing gentle guidance for families navigating these moments with compassion and confidence.

💛 You’re not alone.

What a year it has been. From everyday moments to unforgettable milestones, we are so grateful for the memories made, the laughter shared, and the community that continues to grow stronger together.

Thank you to our residents, families, staff, and partners for being part of our story. Here’s to carrying these moments with us and welcoming all that 2026 has to offer.

Happy New Year from all of us at Canterbury! ✨

Twelve Days Left to Give
