Reviews
The owners have allowed the facility to go downhill. They rehire staff who have poor work ethics, a nurse who could not take care of the residents and directors who conveniently lose paperwork, medication, and money. There are always issues with the food and overall cleanliness. My loved one will not be returning to this building. To the owner's response. My concerns were brought to the community and to the Sinceri home office. I never received a call back from either. My father passed away after being told by a nurse he doesn't need a care plan. This community continued to employe this nurse after it had been reported.
Birchwoods offers a rare setup in assisted living, with cottages that provide residents more space and autonomy than most communities. The layout supports care across many levels of acuity, allowing people to age in place with greater flexibility. It’s a thoughtful model that blends independence with responsive support.
My dad lives at Birchwoods and we’re really pleased with both the level of care and personal attention he receives. It’s also very clean and bright (newly renovated). Everyone is so friendly, and there are always activities being organized to bring residents together. The backyard patio area is a great place for residents to spend time around the gardens or the resident chicken coop (a resident favorite) 😊
Birtchwoods At Canco has the most caring staff here and they’re very attentive as far as any questions you may have. I recommend it to everyone. Food is average! Activity directors go out of their way to bring folks to activities of different interests. My mom’s personal favorite is the musicians and Bingo! Jessica the ED is a great listener and works with any issues as they come up.
My folks were quite impressed with the facility, amenities and the interaction with the employees & residents
