Unlike typical facilities, we are a not-for-profit organization, prioritizing the well-being of our residents above all else. By keeping our rates as low as possible, we ensure that financial constraints never compromise the quality of care our residents receive.

We are dedicated to shattering the perception of retirement communities as places of confinement, instead fostering an environment of freedom and autonomy. Our residents are encouraged to come and go as they please, to dine in our welcoming dining room, and to partake in a myriad of enriching activities tailored to their interests.

Above all, we promise to be a beacon of compassion, dignity, and respect for every individual who calls our community home. With our unwavering commitment to excellence, we strive to create a haven where residents can live life to the fullest, knowing that they are cherished and supported every step of the way.

Testimonials

Hear it from our Guests

We take deep pride in the stories of our residents and their experience as a valued resident. Take a moment to explore these testimonials and discover why Canyon Villas is more than just a place to live—it’s a family.

“Our Mother, Lorraine, was a resident of Canyon Villas for eight years. Mom began her stay in an independent living apartment and enjoyed the lovely dining hall, grounds, and the many available activities, but due to declining health, she progressively moved to more assisted types of living. At each transition, Canyon Villas was extremely helpful and accommodated her needs in a respectful and caring manner. When it appeared mom might have to relocate to a nursing home, Canyon Villas took the lead in qualifying her for Hospice assistance so she could remain on-site to receive the necessary care. They treated her as a family member, cried with us at her death, and even attended her memorial service. We are eternally grateful to the staff at Canyon Villas, especially Lisa Shutt (DON), Whitney McDowell (Admissions),Ileen and other nursing and housekeeping staff who made Lorraine feel comfortable until her final day.”

“My Mother lived in this place for several years prior to her death. We moved her in because she could no longer walk without assistance, and cooking was causing her pain due to osteoporosis. So, to have a place with an affordable, decent sized studio, where she could enjoy 3 cooked meals a day was a true Godsend! They have assisted living available, but she was in independent living until she required hospice care, which they also provide (for added cost). Mom loved the food in the dining hall and was always happy with the portion sizes. There is a lovely outdoor area, along with weekly activities, a salon, a library, exercise room with a pool table. Each unit has it's own heater/air conditioner too, which really saved Mom on some of the hotter, summer days. There was weekly cleaning of the units, when they would provide clean sheets, pillow cases, towels and toilet paper. I had nothing but positive experiences with the staff and they were very supportive when my Mom passed. I was and still am very glad we had Canyon Villas so close, and that they were such a wonderful help during Mom's last few years.”

“Rarely in the heart-breaking process of caring for ill and aging parents does a person have cause for celebration. I, however, welcome every opportunity to declare my great joy, admiration, and appreciation of the Canyon Villas organization. It is indeed, quite unique, in the high degree of quality care, extensive services, facilities and loving support offered to their residents. Many years of experiences involving three other local facilities had been truly frustrating. At times,an extreme concern existed for the safety and appropriate care of aging family members. Therefore, as Mom's condition declined, Canyon Villas was recommended repeatedly, by her doctor and others, as the best option. The Villas' efficient admissions and nursing staff responded quickly to my concerns and to her needs, then aided greatly in the transfer process from the former facility. She immediately felt very welcome, secure and comfortable, thanks to the extraordinary family-like atmosphere shared by staff and residents at her new Villas home.”

“My father, Edward J.Zeman, had been a resident at your facility since April 2005. His recent stroke unfortunately required a move to a facility that would provide closer monitoring and assistance. Words cannot express the excellence of your entire staff in providing my Dad with the best lifestyle he was capable of while at Canyon Villas. On so many occasions, the kindness, the personal caring, the patience, and professionalism given to him and his family was far beyond a job. Besides the nurses and nursing assistants who knew him best, every level of employee was always helpful, happy, kind, caring, and efficient. That applies to housekeeping, food service and servers, maintenance, ground keepers, the receptionists, the efficient billing and financial department, and the activity director. Not only did Whitney and Lisa give me excellent advice and assistance with future placement needs, but at the same time went out of their way to give Dad a chance to return to a place he truly loved and called home, Canyon Villas. Be very proud of your facility and the select group of people who make it so great for all of the residents. On behalf of my father, Ed Zeman, and his family, thank you for a great year.”

“To the Entire Staff at Canyon Villas; My brothers and I want to extend our sincere gratification for everything you did to help in the comfort and care you provided our mother. Our hearts go out to you all for the energy and compassion you have for the care of our loved ones! WOW! You are all such givers! Bless you all!!!”

“I wanted to express my appreciation to all the staff at Canyon Villas. My mom thought of everyone there as a friend. When we used to run her errands together, she always wanted to have some little treat to hand out. You all do a wonderful job creating a warm and friendly environment for the residents, and that extends outward to visitors like me. You made the experience there really nice on all levels. Thank you so much.”

“To The entire staff at Canyon Villas! Once again, my sister Arlene and I want to thank all of you for making our dad (Ernie's) last years so content. It was a hard transition to make, moving from the home he lived in for 40+years to a retirement apartment but the staff was so welcoming + learned Ernest's name so quickly, he felt like it was home in a few weeks. We were really impressed! In the almost 5 years he lived at CV, we were constantly impressed by the quality of care he received & by the competence, patience and caring of everyone on the staff. We have both recommended CV to everyone who asks us about a "good retirement home." I miss sitting on the garden bench with my dad & saying hello (or singing) to everyone who walked by on their way to the dining room. Take care of yourselves & all those in your "care". Thank you all!”
