Charter focuses on dementia. Before visiting, I thought it was terrible to send a loved one to any assisted living place. Visit a few. People are drugged up, sitting stationary for hours, waiting to die. Then I visited Charter. They had a guy playing live music, engaging an audience of residents. They residents were actively engaged, smiling, tapping to the music, singing, etc. After a few spontaneous visits (to be sure the first wasn't a fluke), my family realized that sending our loved-one to charter might actually breathe new life into her. The staff warned us that there might be a rough transition period. They weren't wrong. But the staff rallied around us those first few weeks, sharing photos and videos of her dancing, smiling, and positively glowing. We got countless texts, emails, and conversations with staff, giving advice on how to handle our visits to make them a positive experience for our loved-one. I'll be forever in the debt of Laura, Judi, Will, Zoey, and Rose.
