We toured Canterfield of Kennesaw and it was a very nice and very informative tour. The rooms were very spacious compared to some of the other ones that we've toured. We looked at the assisted living apartments, and their 1-bedroom apartment and a studio. I thought that the staff was very pleasant and very informative. She answered all the questions, and she was very helpful because she showed us all the options that we could consider for our mom.
We saw their dining area and it was clean, spacious, and nice. They have servers there to serve you and then they have a regular menu and then another menu if you don't like what they're serving for their special. It seemed peaceful, homey, and kind of social.
She took us to the library, where they played bingo, the weight room, sauna, craft room, and she even showed us the activity calendar. She showed us what everyone was involved in and how much activity they have every day. She showed us the exercise class, too. They have quite a bit of activities there, very scheduled and routine, so it seemed very nice.

My parents are in Canterfield of Kennesaw. It's fine, but I'm pulling them out of the running because of the cost. They have a library, a movie theater, a restaurant, and a covered patio on the back. They're painting pots, doing crafts, and playing bingo. They have a big turnover rate, and they have a hard time keeping people. The food is OK, but it's bland, because it's old people's food, but they do low-sugar desserts and things like that, so they keep their diets in mind. The facility is nice and clean.

They have zero COVID-19 precautions that they actually follow, the staff is extremely rude and uptight all of the time. The food is mediocre at best, always cold or old. The rooms are okay. Laundry keeps getting ruined and I’ve seen how they treat the workers in the back. It’s not good. Stay away from this place unless you have no other option. This is a last resort.

I moved a family member to Canterfield several months ago. She is very happy there and is receiving excellent care. The facility is clean and bright and all of the staff is very friendly and nurturing with the residents. The dining staff has taken great pains to ensure that my aunt (who currently is the only resident who is a vegetarian) has a balanced diet with plenty of food choices.
I'm very pleased with the selection of Canterfield as my aunt's residence and would recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, caring environment with various activities available to the residents.

re: memory care
(after 20+ visits)
staff spend most of the time talking among themselves
and ignoring residents speaking to them...residents spend a great deal of time watching t.v. with staff not in close proximity... residents are not engaged or encouraged by staff to participate in the the few activities offered...most important though, residents hygiene is questionable...
on a positive note...food is delicious...
