A great place!

The administrative staff have been extremely helpful. The housekeepers do a great job of keeping the apartment clean and have even asked me for a larger waste basket as the one I had provided was insufficient and she wanted to make sure there was enough space for trash. The newsletter I receive on a regular basis keeps me informed of all the activities.

Family's experience

Staff were cooperative, pleasant, helpful and supportive. Food was average and facility was clean. My brother was only there for respite and although scheduled to stay for a month only stayed 2 weeks. Activities were limited , room was ok. I would have liked him to reside there but he had other thoughts unfortunately, currently he is at home but that's time limited.

Great place for mom

The staff made a tremendous effort to help mom get acclimated. After over 60 years living with the same person and him suddenly gone it was a big adjustment. The staff really helped.

Friendly staff

The managers take an active interest in the residents. Even the housekeeping staff take note of the residents and report to me if there are any concerns they have about my cousin who has dementia.

I visited this facility

Holiday Woods at Canco invited me to stay for lunch, and the meal was very, very good. I was at a table with five other people, and everyone was pleasant and friendly. The woman who gave me the tour was really terrific. She showed me the apartments and explained the structure and everything. The place was nice, clean, and well-appointed. There's available parking for my car. It was very, very nice. It's a fairly modern-looking facility, and so I put my name on the waiting list there. The staff members wer…

From Visitor to Happy Resident!

Well we've survived the monumental process of moving in and I feel compelled to report on how things worked out! To make a long story short, it has been much better than I could have expected. Cathy, the sales manager, referred us to a realtor who had helped several residents sell their homes, and then that person helped us to find not only a buyer but people who helped sell our furniture as well as a mover very familiar with moving people here. From that first day, we felt at home. It took a while to unpack, but …
