Live Your Way, Every Day!
Waterford Independent Living at Its Best
People often cringe at the thought of moving into a senior living community because of their negative preconceived notions. Modern independent living, however, lets seniors continue living life on their own terms but without the tedium of daily responsibilities.
Canterbury On The Lake offers a wide range of services, amenities, and activities to meet the needs of all our residents. Whether you are an energetic extrovert or mild-mannered homebody, our options can be as social or solitary as you like. You get to live the life you have always wanted, free of tedious chores and responsibilities.
