    Artists In Residence

    We have so much talent in one community. Recently, we hosted an Artist’s Gallery for residents. There were many different pieces on display from pictures, pottery, clothing, tapestry, and even a homemade clavichord! Each artist discussed their work, their inspirations, and their process. It was a wonderful demonstration of the creativity that thrives at The Canterbury.

    National Senior Fitness Day

    We celebrated National Senior Fitness Day with a beautiful walk around the community. Residents motivated and encouraged each other to keep going and everyone received a participation medal. It was a beautiful day of fun and camaraderie. Movement is a core principle of health and wellness at The Canterbury. Staying active today means we are ready for tomorrow.

    Burgers Are Even Better Together

    The Habit Burger Grill specializes in preparing fresh, cooked-to-order chargrilled burgers and more. It’s a popular dining destination in Torrance, so it’s no surprise that the arrival of the Habit Truck at The Canterbury was just as popular. They cooked up delicious burgers and gave everyone an old-style diner hat. It was a fun and delectable day.

    Outings

    Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum

    We took a trip up north to Simi Valley to visit the museum dedicated to our 40th President. The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum is the sole nonprofit organization created by President Reagan. During the visit, we were treated to a private docent-led tour of the special exhibit that celebrates our country’s 250th anniversary. A big thank you to resident Phyllis, who is a member of the Board at the museum and made sure we were treated like VIPs.

    A Delicious Afternoon

    We love to visit popular places in the neighborhood. Recently, we brought our appetites to Mimi’s Cafe in Torrance. Founded in 1978, Mimi’s is a neighborhood bistro offering fresh, hand-prepared comfort food and bistro classics. We loved the meals and the chance to explore more of the South Bay.
