Sanctuary Grande in North Canton

VLS2007

The apartment my mother is in is a nice size for her — separate living area, kitchenette and bedroom with walk-in closet, and a bathroom that accommodates her needs. The apartment includes a modest-sized balcony, which is one of her favorite features since she loves the outdoors. The staff are very patient and accommodating, and tailor the care and attention provided to the care needs of my mother as her care needs progress. We have always sensed a good positive vibe from the staff during our visits — an example set by the Executive Director, Chief Nurse, Facilities Manager, Restaurant Manager, Marketing Director and Receptionist. The meals are nutritious and right-sized. It is convenient to join your loved one for a meal. The facility and staff have incorporated attention to detail in order to provide convenient services, social interaction, and entertainment — such as hair salon on-site, activities, broadcasting major sporting events, etc.

I was looking for a spot for my mother after a fall. I looked at a couple different places around the area and none came close to the sanctuary. The staff were so friendly and amber helped us through the difficult process. After being there for a little bit now my mother has nothing but great things to say about the food and the compassion that she is showed by everyone that is there to help. If you are looking for a place that will care for your loved one the way you would, I would highly recommend the sanctuary.

This facility truly looks out for their residents. There are always questions that come up as time goes on, but the staff/nurses do try to help get answers. The nurses are caring. There are “levels” of nursing care that needs addressed with new residents. There are aides for special assistance. Sometimes staffing shortage is a problem that many businesses still encounter. The Sanctuary is a very bright, welcoming place as you enter, and the activities room and pub are a great gathering place for all residents and visitors. Each resident gets a daily activity sheet, and we encourage her to join in (though sometimes she just isn’t interested). My mother’s room is pleasant, especially decorated with all her own personal possessions. With an appointment, she can walk down the hall to get her hair done so we don’t have to take her out. There is a lovely parlor on each floor — a library, and ice cream parlor on her floor. Sitting outside on lovely days are available in the front entry or back patio. The dining room is lovely and puts out a monthly menu along with an additional regular menu if you don’t like the daily special. Having a good meal is something my mother looks forward to. Bottom line is that much is available— but the will to do it must be there also — of course, their age and mobility has a lot to do with desire.

Variety of room configurations. Kitchens or galley arrangements are available. Rooms comfortable and kept in very presentable conditions. Staff workers and care aides are pretty hard workers. They listen when there is a concern from the residents/family members. Exercise/recreational activities offered most days. Music programs, speakers , day trips, movies , happy hours, and special themed parties are enjoyed by most everyone who can participate. There is a fitness room, movie theater, library , nice dining hall and bistro, hair salon, living room areas for variety of get-togethers , outdoor patios and an art area.
