Assisted Living in Attleboro, Massachusetts
"We have promised ourselves that we shall always treat our residents as we would our own loved ones. Nothing less than our best will do."
This is a simple promise that the staff at Canterbury Woods — and throughout Emeritus Senior Living communities — has shared since 1995, when our community first opened its doors. It's a simple promise to be compassionate and kind, understanding and respectful — a promise to become extended family to the seniors entrusted in our care and to our retirees who have chosen our community for its active lifestyle.
Right at Home
Set on 91 acres of beautifully landscaped grounds with a courtyard and lovely gardens, Canterbury Woods is considered one of the premier assisted living and Alzheimer's communities in Southeastern Massachusetts. Located just off exit 5 on I-95, our community offers 130 apartments on three floors and is surrounded by a beautiful wooded area — ideal for wildlife viewing! Here our residents — in many cases, with their pets — enjoy retirement living within a warm, friendly environment that you can feel the moment you walk through our doors. Yet should you need a helping hand from our caring staff, we also offer complete assisted living services, tailor-made to your needs. We've designed our services to focus on wellness, helping you maintain or improve your health, so you can live as independently as possible.
Join Their Journey — Alzheimer's and Dementia Care
Our community also offers an innovative memory care program, Join Their Journey®, for seniors affected by Alzheimer's or dementia. Because your family's experience will be unlike any other, our goal is to get to know you and your loved one, so that we can offer support and solutions for your individual situation. We "join the journey" of your loved one by recognizing individuality, encouraging choices and allowing residents the dignity to live in a secure, personalized and familiar setting that feels comfortable for them.
New friends, new beginnings
Our common areas — including our lovely dining room, library and activities center — give residents and their loved ones the opportunity to get to know one another. We also offer a wide range of activities each month, including community outings to the various museums in the area and the Capron Park Zoo. Canterbury Woods is conveniently located in a residential area near Emerald Square Mall and the Wrentham Outlets. Sturdy Hospital is less than a half mile from our community, and a nursing home rehabilitation facility is also close by should you ever need it.
