Shenandoah Valley Westminster-Canterbury Life Plan Community

I first visited SVWC in 1998 when I frequently visited clients who were residents there. I was greatly impressed with the facilities and the care being provided by staff. I was later honored to serve on the Endowment Committee Board and more recently on the SVWC Board of Directors where I was delighted to interact with management. The mgmt team is highly skilled and totally devoted to their mission. I am now happy to also report that Ed and I are residents and are extremely pleased with the facilities, activities and staff.

We moved to SVWC about 18 months ago. It maybe the best decision we have ever made. Talk about worry free retirement! We enjoy the wide variety of activities and have made great friends. However, the most wonderful part has been the very caring staff in every department. We have total peace of mind.

We moved here 5 years ago after exploring more than a dozen life care communities. Shenandoah Valley Westminster Canterbury was our number one choice after our first visit. We not only fell in love with the beautiful campus, but were impressed with the friendliness of both the residents we met as well as the caring staff. We are convinced we made the right choice and could not be happier living here.

Our family is very pleased with the care given to our parents for the 20+ years they were residents. As they progressed from their lovely cottage to Independent Living, then Assisted Living and Health Care they were treated with courtesy and professionalism at every turn. They became involved in many activities, formed friendships with residents and staff members, and truly felt proud to be a part of the SVWC community. We are grateful we were able to see them live out their lives feeling secure, and to behold their peaceful transitions…in a place they called home.

We are so glad to live in this community! We were future residents for a few years, knowing the friendliness of residents and helpfulness of staff would make us glad to be at SVWC. Living here has been even better than we hoped. Our neighbors have become our friends, and staff members aren't just employees, they are also friends who go beyond what's expected, doing their absolute best every day. Being a non-profit, full care community was important to us, but we didn't know how important until I had to have a hip replaced. I was able to come directly back to SVWC for post-surgery rehabilitation and recovery. I had caretakers and therapists who already knew me, and who I knew and trusted. The care was wonderful. Now that I'm recovered, our dog and I enjoy walks each morning around pon
