Canterbury House provides trusted skilled nursing care in the Southeast Auburn neighborhood, offering residents and their families a stable, professionally managed care environment in one of the South Sound's most accessible communities. Located at 502 29th Street Southeast in Auburn, Washington, the facility is operated by Empres, operated by Evergreen — a management company with a longstanding commitment to compassionate, person-centered long-term care across the Pacific Northwest.

Game Farm Park, situated along the White River, provides generous green space with walking paths and picnic areas well-suited to family visits on mild Pacific Northwest afternoons. The White River Trail follows the scenic waterway through Auburn's heart, offering gentle strolls through riverside nature. Downtown Auburn along Main Street and Auburn Way South features local dining, cafés, and essential services within easy reach. The Outlet Collection: Seattle on Auburn Way North adds convenient retail just minutes from the facility. Empres, operated by Evergreen, brings a collaborative team approach to Canterbury House, with skilled nursing staff, rehabilitation therapists, social workers, and dietary professionals working together to support each resident's goals — whether that means recovering from a health episode and returning home or receiving dignified, comfortable long-term care.
