O U T S T A N D I N G

The sense of community at The Charleston is palpable. My great aunt has formed meaningful friendships, and the staff works really hard to cultivate a family-like atmosphere. Special events and outings provide opportunities for residents to engage with one another and the broader community, fostering social connections that are crucial for emotional and mental well-being. We always feel welcome and involved, whether it’s through visiting, participating in events, or collaborating on care decisions. This inclusivity …

So far so good!

This has been a great fit for our family. It’s a smaller facility, but that’s a good thing sometimes. It’s a little dated, but much more affordable than almost every other place we visited. The staff has been super friendly, front desk is always welcoming. Nursing staff communicates very efficiently, which is really nice. Food looks like it’s freshly made every day.

Best choice I could have made

I selected The Charleston Senior Living community for my loved one after my first visit. The staff was exceptional in taking my family and I on a tour of the facility and explaining all of the services that are provided. I was pleased with the facility, the services, and the staff. My loved one has been in place for the last 3 month and has adjusted well. No matter what position staffing holds, they are all very pleasant and attentive. The facility is clean and well maintained. Housekeeping empties the trash in the…
