Canterbury Woods Gates Circle

Kathleen

I chose Canterbury Woods Gates Circle. It was a nice small community of 60 people. I liked all the amenities. I like the location. They exercise. They have cultural programs, they have a lot of outings to art galleries and things like that. The place is perfectly clean, constantly updated, and it's a beautiful place. The staff could have been better in terms of pointing everything out to me. I met some of the other owners there and it was delightful. I tried the food and it's delicious.

I visited Canterbury Woods. It's a long-term care, and I would be able to use my long-term care insurance. They had 24/7 security there at the desk. Nurses are there in case you get sick or ill. They have assisted living, independent living apartments and they have like a rehab, in case you're not well, you may go with assisted living, and if you do better maybe move on to independent living, and then if you happen to feel ill, they do have a rehab facility among their list. And you have the usual long-term care insurance so that's not that costly. And they have their nurses there. And the security round the clock. I'm on their list. They told me to come back when I'm about 75, even though they have the 55+ community. Now, I can check in to my long-term care policy. They cost more because they provide all the meals, the transportation to medical appointments, they have the services where they go on trips and they take you full shopping. It's a new facility and just opened in 2020. I toured it yesterday. It's very nice and I liked it. I would say more than a place I am now. You can't get pass through it. You would have to go pass the security to get in. I also get a tour about a year ago. Definitely nice. I had a lunch there and the food was delicious. I can't get to remember what we had but it's kinda like gourmet food. What they do if they had tours and they did have the food provide ten people and they invite you to lunch, and you see the facility. They were very wonderful. The dining area is very beautiful. It's very, very beautiful. But that one would be in my future. And I'm just on that list. And I would have to check to my long-term care insurance, that would be in the future. But I'm looking for something more temporary, so I can get my medical need, cause I got reported because I've been missing a lot of medical appointments. The Canterbury Woods Gates Circle is a part of a continuum of care, where they have assisted living there, they had independent living, and if you happen to get ill, there is a rehab for you, so you buy into a continuum of care and they alter your cost you might need assisted living if you require nursing care, and then you may get well and go to independent living. Canterbury Woods is like a 70-80 group. I won't fit in there at this time.
