Family owned and operated Senior Living for over 60 years.
We are proud of the legacy we call family.

Canterbury Gardens
We explore beautiful Longview for exciting things to do and see. We might have lunch at Nipps Drive-Through on a Monday to enjoy delicious burgers or visit Offbeat Antiques & Oddities to unearth treasures every other Thursday. There is always something fun to see at Lake Sacajawea Park Japanese Gardens, just a short distance from Canterbury Gardens.
