My father is at Birchwoods at Canco Assisted Living. He knew somebody else that was there, and he had visited it before and he liked it. He's enjoying being around other people in his age bracket. He said the food is delicious and his room is comfortable and it's nice and warm. From what I've seen, the staff has been friendly and helpful. The only thing that I have tried was some dessert and it was really good. I haven't gone in and eaten a meal with him yet. The place is clean and very nice. When you walk in, you see the dining room, which is always set up nicely. They have it decorated for the holidays, and it looks good. They take them shopping at least once a week, they have bingo, and they have church services. They have a library and a pool table.

Birchwoods at Canco Assisted Living was lovely. Tom was the one that showed me around, and he was excellent. It was a beautiful place, and I wouldn't hesitate to move there. The amenities sounded good, and the food looked good. Everything there was wonderful.

I was sent to Birchwood thru Care.com and I couldn't be more grateful. I have never felt more loved or cared for in my life. The staff is outstanding. It is clean and homey feeling. I couldn't have made a better choice for myself. I am home where I have help with my various conditions. I absolutely recommend Birchwood on Canco to anyone .

The person I met at Birchwoods at Canco Assisted Living was very friendly, caring, and very helpful. He has followed up with me several times to check on my mom and her status. So I appreciated that. He was just the nicest person. The part that I liked best about the facility was the separate cottages that were on site. I thought that those were very nicely done. The main building was a little outdated though and perhaps needed some work.

Birchwoods at Canco was fine. It looked like it needed a little bit of updating. The carpet was like a pink mauve, but it was still inviting when you first walked in. It's wheelchair-accessible. The front desk was right there, so there's someone to greet you. The dining area was on the left. It's nice and had a wide open space. The staff was very nice, informative, and spent time to answer our questions. It was a lovely place.

I did a tour of Birchwoods at Canco Assisted Living. Upon entering, there is a beautiful dining room, all set up for lunchtime. When I was there, I got to see a studio apartment and a 1-bedroom apartment, they were both fine. There was no odor, they smelled okay. They were clean. They have different wings of the building. It was sunny. They have a lot of activities for them to do when there's no snow here. There are walking trails and a firepit. There are activities indoors as well, like chair yoga, I think that was going on while I was there. It looked like a lovely facility; I was happy with it. The person who gave me the tour, his name's Tom and I think he's the one who does this. He was fine. He answered all the questions and took me to see everything that I needed to see. Also, he introduced me to people, for example, the nurse that would be delivering medications if my mother needed any. He was very helpful. They did have a laundry facility and they said that the salon person comes in. I did meet the nurse. They had a library there as well. We were on the first level, the floor level, but there are other levels as well. I'm not sure if people all people can climb the stairs. I know there's an elevator there, but that might not be as convenient for others who are not able to climb stairs.
