Canterbury Woods is a 190 bed community in Pacific Grove, CA, offering independent living, assisted living, nursing home care, and skilled nursing. The range of care levels may suit a resident whose needs could become more intensive over time, because moving among levels may allow the resident to remain in the community, subject to availability and clinical fit. Nursing home and skilled nursing care serve residents who need ongoing nursing or clinical care beyond independent or assisted living, while assisted living provides help with daily personal care tasks and independent living is intended for residents who can manage personal care without routine hands on assistance.
With 190 beds, Canterbury Woods is sized for many residents rather than a small household setting. Its 73% occupancy indicates that the community was below full capacity when measured, but that does not establish availability in the care level a resident needs.
Medicare and private pay are accepted, so payment may involve Medicare coverage for eligible services or direct payment by the resident or family for selected care and related charges. An 81 Walk Score places the area in the very walkable band, meaning most errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. Total nurse staffing is 6 hours 18 minutes per resident per day, including 1 hour 58 minutes per resident per day from licensed nurses such as RNs and LPNs; these are facility level staffing figures and do not guarantee individual nursing time. Pets are allowed, so residents may be able to keep a pet at the community. Ryan Banner is the administrator, and Front Porch Communities And Services operates Canterbury Woods.
