Misleading and Understaffed

I strongly recommend that any new family who is considering placing your love one in this facility to do your due diligence. I thought I asked the right questions at the time and felt that this would be a great fit for my dad and was provided assurance that his needs would be met. I asked about ratio to staff and resident.

Raise the Standard

There are a few great caregivers at Charter Senior Living. However, this place is one big health crisis. Just this year alone, they have had a bed bugs and scabies outbreak.
