Canterbury House

Canterbury House, managed by Thies & Talle, sits on South Terry Avenue in Sioux Falls and offers affordable senior housing for folks aged 62 or those living with disabilities, so people with different needs can find a place here, and they've got a bunch of options like independent living, assisted living, care homes, respite care, memory care, nursing homes, home care, hospice care, continuing care retirement community, and rehabilitation, though the details about how those care types work aren't included in the information available. The building gives people a choice between spacious one-bedroom apartments and studio layouts, some of which are handicap-accessible, and rent's based on income, so it works well for those who are watching their budget. There's a community room that brings folks together for social gatherings and activities, so you can meet neighbors and keep busy, and for those who like being outdoors, there's a barbecue grilling area and a courtyard to sit out in when the weather's right. The building has controlled access, an elevator, off-street parking, and on-site laundry, plus maintenance help is available any time of day if something goes wrong. Pets aren't allowed, so people with animal allergies or who want a quieter place might like that. Residents get a Resident Handbook to help them learn about the place and their responsibilities, and there's a Resident Support Program which connects them to services and things that make living there easier or more enjoyable, though the exact details about programs and care are a bit thin. Meals are made with quality ingredients, and community activities focus on keeping people mentally and physically active-those who live there tend to praise the friendly, joyful staff. The community received recognition as a "Best of Senior Living" award winner, and people say the staff help make things run smoothly, answer questions, and offer guidance if anybody needs advice about senior living options in the area. All in all, Canterbury House fits folks who want affordable, accessible living options, care if needed, and a place to feel part of a caring neighborhood.
