Community Life

Canterbury Court is more than a community...it's a lifestyle. Through the cooperative efforts of the Resident Council, made up of residents and staff, a full program of entertainment and recreation highlights every week at Canterbury Court.

Activities range from bingo and birthday parties, to card games and church services. Residents can play pool in the game parlor, chat with friends in the main lounge, garden in the greenhouse or outdoor butterfly garden, and enjoy lively musical entertainment and festive meals in the Canterbury Room.

Canterbury Court residents and staff take pride in their community, and have fun working together to help those in the outside community as well. In 2002 and 2006, Canterbury Court received the Mayor's Award for Community Volunteer Service by West Carrollton Mayor Maxine Gilman for their efforts with the West Carrollton Operation Share Christmas. In conjunction with the United Methodist Church in West Carrollton, residents and staff united to purchase and present Christmas gifts for 35 needy families in the community. And this past fall, residents made a group donation to the Holiday Festival Fund which helped pay for Carriage rides and a Petting Zoo at the Carrollton Holiday Festival.

Canterbury Court's Butterfly Garden was also recognized with a Certificate of Excellence by The Ohio Lepidopterists, a non-profit organization that promotes interest in butterflies, skippers and moths of Ohio and neighboring states.

From community events to social outings and volunteering opportunities, there's something to fit everyone's style and taste at Canterbury Court.
