    Christmas Time is Here

    It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas at The Canterbury. Decorating the Christmas tree is the official start of the holiday season and what a gorgeous tree it is. The beginning of December also marks the beginning of Holiday Spirit Week, during which time everyone is encouraged to wear their love of the holidays in style. From holiday headwear and festive socks to being adorned in red and white, residents and team members joined in the fun.

    In the Assisted Living community, residents decorated their own tabletop Christmas trees to bring the spirit of the season into their homes.

    Artists in Residence

    You may not realize it, but The Canterbury is full of budding artists. While some have been professional or hobby artists before they joined our community, many have discovered an artistic talent since calling The Canterbury home.

    Art is an important part of daily life in the community and every other month residents host an Artists’ Gallery. This month was an “Anything Goes” theme. The artwork could be something personally made, bought or gifted. We welcomed all residents to participate and share their special or favorite piece.

    One favorite art class is “Rubber Block Printmaking” with Loren Kantor. Residents have the opportunity to carve their own print block to create greeting cards. In anticipation of the season, residents created Holiday cards to share with friends and family.

    Veterans’ Day

    Honoring veterans is a tradition at The Canterbury. This year we organized a “Tribute to Veterans” afternoon concert by the PV Symphonic Band, one of our Creative Living Partners. They performed to a packed house with our Veterans sitting in the front row. Thank you to all who are serving or have served.
