Resident & family reviews
4.5 · 64 reviewsGreat facility with caring and compassionate staff. We love having our mother there.
We absolutely love and are thankful for the staff and administration at The Canopy. They take such great care of our loved one and are always available to us. The rooms are beautiful and have so many activities for all.
My mom and stepdad have been living there for over a year, the staff treats them like family and goes above and beyond to make them feel cared for and part of a larger family. Amber is a one of a kind person who truly cares about her residents.

My Mom is a resident, and she really enjoys it. She has freedom to come and go, and the staff is GREAT! You truly get a home/family feel at Canopy. The activities are constant and consistent, including the outings to various places of interest for the residents. The food is good, and they really keep it super clean. Can’t say enough good things about my family’s experience there. Highly recommend!
From the moment I stepped on the property there is a feeling of community and family. Friendly greeting, residents enjoying all of the open-common spaces whether they are reading the paper in front of the fireplace-chatting with others or enjoying social hour playing trivia and laughing. The place is always buzzing with fun! I toured with my wife and mother and everyone we passed was kind and spoke. The honesty and openness of the challenges families face when choosing a home like this was a breath of fresh air. The leadership took time to answer all of our questions and even offered their personal contact info if we had more. Definitely recommend!
My name is Kelyn, I live out of state and lived with my grandmother for a few years in my early 20s. She is truly a gem, and so so important to me, and I’m so grateful she’s in such professional care in this time of her life. She needs, now more than ever, the kind of care and compassion at which Canopy excels. I’m so grateful for the round-the-clock care and community culture at Canopy. I also love their campus and recreational facilities. We have a big family, and as fabulous as the little apartments are, this group spaces are ideal for bigger visits. Thanks y’all <3
I cannot say enough about Amber and her incredible staff at The Canopy at Harper Lake. From the moment my mom became a resident, Amber has led with compassion, professionalism, and heart. You can feel the culture she’s created — one where residents are truly seen, valued, and cared for like family. The team is attentive, patient, and consistently goes above and beyond to make sure my mom feels safe, engaged, and loved. As a daughter, that peace of mind is everything. If you’re looking for a community where leadership matters and care is genuine, this is it. 💜
From what I have experienced from Canopy is everyone that works there is top notch. They are very professional, friendly and caring. They go out of there way to make everyone feels like family .
