Charter Senior Living

I really was impressed with this one. It was just very up to date. The facility itself had been renovated. It was very modern and bright and they have a community there, not only assisted living but a retirement community also. It was close to the mall too.

It was really nice, the place was really really pretty but it was too expensive. We were in a private office and just kind of talked to them, we did walk through but we didn't really see the staff and the residents.

I have nothing to compare to but I think overall it's been good. I think that assisted living facilities are outrageously prices but I think for the care and for the size of the room and the conditions of the facility, it's very reasonable. I think the care gets better every time. This is the first time my mother has been put in an assisted living facility. They have lots of activities. They take them out and go for walks. For being memory care they take her out a lot. They have cook outs and parties pretty regularly. They treat my mom well. The RN that cares for my mother is fantastic and the person that runs the memory care unit is awesome but the lady who runs the facility is very rude and condescending.

This was a really good community and would move my loved one here is she needed a higher level of care. They have a dedicated memory care unit. Their prices for memory care are comparable to other communities that are assisted living. The community is more diverse and is a little bigger then the others.

Everybody is very welcoming. My brother felt comfortable there from the beginning. It's pretty pricey but assisted living anywhere is going to be expensive. The activites are good. He does appreciate those. He likes any of the games like bingo and he likes the movie nights. Anytime someone comes in, like to play the harmonica, it's something different that he's not normally exposed to. My mother-in-law and father-in-law were there about 4 years ago so I had a comfort level going in because I know they were happy there. Now it seems to be even better. There are more activites and the staff is really responsive. It's hard to put your family member in assisted living but if I have to chose one, this is the best. It's a really nice place to be.

My mom has only lived there for a short time but so far we are very happy with our selection. She went from a 2br assisted living to a lg bedroom and bath. Her medication is handed to her twice daily by a nurse. Someone comes in every morning to make her bed (change the bedding if soiled) and do light housekeeping. Once a week it gets thourghly cleaned and her laundry is picked up done and put away. The dining room is a short distance down the hall were she gets three meals daily. There is a list of activity they can get involved in if they choose. Her hairdresser comes every Sat to do her hair. There is a very nice salon available to use. Although its on the 2 nd floor there is a elevator to. The staff is very friendly and been helpful with her getting acclimated. This has taken a huge burden off us because we have been doing all these things daily. We feel she is safe, clean, fed and has everything she needs there.

Mom has been there for about a year. This location was going downhill with tremendous staff turnover until about early [date removed] They brought in an expert to re-establish excellent care and we have noticed a dramatic change. New, far more experienced and caring staff have been hired. New Memory Care Director. New Executive Director. It’s night and day. Attention to my Mom is dramatically improved and communications with family is significantly better than it had been. It is well on its way to being where it once was - a top of the line care facility. We are very excited about the improvements that have been made and look forward to the continued improvements to get back to five star excellence.

My mom has been doing so well since e she moved into Charter and each day/has great activities planned for her to enjoy and stay active! I do wish the memory care floor area was as open and bright as the remainder of the common areas but the layout does work for the MC residents. The field trips they take are a breathe of fresh air knowing Mom can still get out and about and she has already made a few friends. The only downside side for me has been learning what we need to provide in terms of actual things for her apt/room and not having a handyman readily accessible for some of the stuff I haven’t been able to do so easily on my own like assembling furniture and so on but we will get there! Looking forward to the warmer weather so mom can spend a little more time outside. Haven’t eaten there too much but food was okay that I had the two times I ate in the dining room. No pets in memory care but they can have them in regular senior apts. wish they had a door key/tag for visitors

I like how friendly people are. When there is an issue they try to address it promptly. They have a system where my dad picks out ideas he wants for his meal the next day. He doesn't always get what he's requested. At times it's hit and miss. Overall though I feel that they do a very good job here and care about the people who live her. This means a lot

The facility was new and close to our house. Make sure you ask how they judge the care given.

It worked out well for my mom and I'm glad I found a place quickly to move her out of the other assisted living facility she was in. Very good communication with the staff. The girl i was dealing with went out of her way to help me get my mom in there in a short notice and it was greatly appreciated. They do need to help the residents engage more with other residents more and encourage them to do things that are happening and go on outings. They are lacking in that respect in my opinion

The facility is clean, modern and has the amenities needed to provide quality care for the residents. The staff are very friendly, they care about the residents and the family and are very responsive to feedback. There is a high turn-over of the staff and management. I think the corrective action should be in training and less firing.

It has been a good experience. They are easy to work with.

I have lived here over a year and found the staff and residents to be friendly. I have made several close friends and the staff is always willing to stop and talk to you or wave if they are busy. One has purchased fresh fruit and given me and a cup full. Our second floor has a large selection of books which makes great reading material.

I like that it's small and personal and all on 1 level. They could improve on the storage options in the closets in the rooms and the food could be stepped up a bit for senior palette needs.

Mom is getting great care. Staff is friendly and manager as well as nurse is very engaging and really do care. Mom’s only complaint is that she doesn’t like the food. She is a picky eater so I am sure it is fine just not for her.

[name removed] and staff are very nice and helpful. I feel like my nanny is in a place that truly cares about her well-being. The new updates they’ve done to the building are very nice and make it feel very homey.

Make sure the facility has enough help to care for your love ones. GO and check out the place when they don't know your coming My husband had to eat puree and hated it we ask to change it. It had to be done doctor. It took oolong to get things done. He also couldn't see and they feed him after 3 times they took food away. If he needed water he could not fine class. Very few activities. Not even a few in a wheelchair. That was wrong place for my husband he was only there for 24 days. I should have never put him there.

[name removed] enjoys many activities there - Exercise, movies, entertainment, and the food is good.

Clean, basic needs facility is economical compared to more expensive nursing care facilities for more active residents. Friendly, energetic African immigrants who appreciate the opportunity to work and make an impact for end of life. Your recommendation lead us to choose this facility at time of need and worked out well.
