💙 At Canterbury, we believe that love should never be separated by care needs. That’s why we’re proud to offer options that allow couples to live together while receiving the individual support they need. Because home is wherever you’re with the one you love. 💙

Strong voices. Bold ideas. Unstoppable women. 💪✨

On May 13th, these incredible women represented Canterbury at the CHAA Conference, joining healthcare leaders from across Alberta for two days of advocacy, collaboration, and action.

We stood shoulder-to-shoulder with policymakers, CEOs, and changemakers—speaking up for seniors, for caregivers, and for a stronger, more compassionate healthcare system.

From Primary Care to Mental Health & Addiction, we weren’t just in the room… we were part of the conversation shaping the future of care in Alberta. ❤️

🎶 Sometimes the best moments aren’t planned… they just happen.

Our atrium recently came alive with an impromptu singing session that had everyone smiling. 💛

It’s these little bursts of joy that make Canterbury feel like home. 🏡✨

🐶 August is National Dog Month—a perfect time to celebrate the incredible ways dogs support people living with dementia!

Science shows that spending time with dogs can reduce stress hormones, lower blood pressure, and boost mood by increasing feel-good chemicals like oxytocin and serotonin. For those with dementia, dogs provide not just companionship but also cognitive and emotional benefits—helping reduce anxiety, improve social interaction, and even trigger positive memories.

The simple act of petting a dog can calm the nervous system and bring comfort when words are hard to find. It’s truly amazing how these furry friends help light up lives and deepen connections every day.

Let’s give a big shoutout to our canine companions this National Dog Month for the love, calm, and joy they bring to our residents! ❤️🐕

The music never leaves us. 🎶💛

This beautiful moment captures one of the many ways we connect with residents living with dementia.

Even as cognitive abilities change, music often remains a powerful bridge to joy, memory, and identity. The brain processes music differently than speech or logic—so while names and places may be forgotten, a familiar rhythm or melody can still awaken a spark.

Here, you can see that spark come to life. A song. A smile. A connection.

At Canterbury, we believe in the power of person-centred care—meeting residents where they are, celebrating what still brings them meaning, and creating opportunities for joy in every day.

These moments may seem small, but to our residents and their families, they mean everything.
