Assisted Living, Memory Care and an on-campus Care Center.

At The Canterbury in Rancho Palos Verdes, supportive senior care services allow residents to remain in their familiar surroundings as long as possible. We care about your comfort and convenience—which is why we give you choices to accommodate your needs and wishes. Since our founding in 1983, we have helped thousands of families find just the right lifestyle for the person they love.

When you sign a continuing care agreement with us, we make a commitment to provide the care you’ll need in almost every situation or stage of life.

We also offer à la carte options for daily help, ranging from light support to advanced Assisted Living services. We help with bathing, dressing, medication management and more. You can also take advantage of Artful HomeCare, provided by our care partners in the privacy of your residence. As a Life Plan resident, you are guaranteed priority access to on-site health care services, should you ever need them. You’ll also take precedence if you ever need a greater level of care.

We help you put a solid plan in place for the future, knowing that most of your health care needs can be met right here on campus, in luxury assisted living in the Los Angeles area. With supportive services, you can thrive and feel truly at home here—today and down the road.

Assisted Living

Assisted Living that’s still Creative Living.

Our Assisted Living apartments are virtually identical to those you’ll find in Independent Living, except for kitchen appliances you won’t need because all your meals are provided. Assisted Living residents can still enjoy our culture of Creative Living with a little extra accommodation or assistance. Take advantage of music, crafting, yoga and other life-enriching activities to stimulate the body and mind.

At The Canterbury, we offer residential Assisted Living in comfortable one- and two-bedroom floor plans that are beautifully appointed. As the only Life Plan community in the South Bay, we’ve been honored with a Reader’s Choice Award from the Daily Breeze for nearly a decade.

Come see why so many families choose The Canterbury when a loved one needs help with the tasks of daily living.
