Charter Senior Living

nice facility.

Like this, Cat is okay. Transportation to dr visits - Dr comes to building on Tuesday and Thursday. Laundry once a week, Cleaning once a week, daily - take out trash

will most likely be the spot for her "respite/evaluation " time

Very nice--all in one bldg--right price.

I liked this facility. it's small, but the staff was informative.

She loved the decor and was very impressed with the Alzheimers unit ... and we very much liked the manager PLUS it was the first place where she felt the food was good. However, it was smaller (fewer residents) than she liked and it was further from me than she wished to live.

Warm friendly staff & environment. Great list of resident activities, good floor plan and nice apartments; No spend-down options.

Visited. A possibility for my mom and dad.

We toured The Cottages and realized that they are set up in little pods; it's not a normal complex building you'd see at other communities. if my loved one were to be placed in a pod with residents who aren't communicative or friendly, she would essentially be stuck in "pod hell". at [community name removed] all of the residents are housed in one large complex, which makes it a lot easier to make friends throughout the building.

I toured Charter Senior Living and it just seemed like the facility was more depressing than some others we saw. It was not going to be the right fit for us

The staff is very friendly and helpful overall. We've had a few incidences, some which may be attributed to us being new to this type of living situation and some from The Cottages. We've worked together and resolved the issues. We initially had a problem with mom's laundry but that has been addressed and corrected. We really like that there are only 16 rooms in each cottage and that we have 24 hour access.

My wife's mother has been here for a few months and is cared for very well. I only wish she would engage more with activities or interaction with others, but this is no fault of the facility.

Brookdale is OK. My Mother is safe; the Caregivers are nice and in-tuned to changes in her demeanor. I love washing my Mother's clothing, and the task is never left for me. I do have to vacuum her room, request toilet paper and clean her bathroom at times. Upset that her trash can was discarded...environment is small and it is preferred versus the atmosphere at sunrise; single rooms keep my Mom out of trouble and I love that!

My aunt resides at Morningside in the assisted living area. Our decision to choose Morningside was based on a number of factors: quality of life, available activities, warmness/friendliness of the staff, professional nursing care, availability of memory care assistance when needed, and finally, a reasonable cost. I particularly like the size of Morningside, as my aunt is able to enjoy all the available services without her mobility being affected, like you could experience in some larger facilities. This facility offers all the services she needs at a reasonable price and Morningside was an excellent choice for our family.

The Brookdale Vinings was not a good fit for my father. When we walked back to the memory care unit, it was more of a dark setting. The lady that took me on the tour was very friendly, but I did not like the vibe I got from the place overall.

Staff is very good. Building is outdated, but renovations to the public areas are under way so that should help. Apartment units are nice-perfect size, decent closet space. Convenient location easy highway access. My mother not crazy about the food but no big surprise there-no one likes the food in senior living.

Mom has only been in the facility for 2 weeks...so it's a little early. but so far we are very pleased.

So far it has been fine but by the end of the month, management will be changing hands, they will be Meridian. I haven't heard good things about Meridian, but we will have to see how it plays out. So far though things have been in flux, I haven't seen a negative impact on care or upkeep of the facility to this point.

Staff slow to respond to resident call lights/lanyards.-Needs improvement Overall nice place and staff.

We used Emeritus at Pikesville for a brief rehab stay for a loved one, and while I thought they did a fairly good job overall I wasn't overly impressed. It seemed like it took a fairly long time before they got my loved one added to the rotation for their bathing and care schedule. It took longer than I would like before they cleaned her up after she arrived from the hospital.
