Canterbury Village West Orange
Canterbury Village West Orange provides assisted living and respite care in West Orange, NJ.

The community may be a good fit for someone who needs help with daily tasks or a family seeking short-term care during a caregiver’s travel or recovery. A studio provides one private living space, and pets are allowed so a resident can continue living with a pet.
