About This Community

Feel the Difference

As a Charter Senior Living community, we offer high-quality Assisted Living, including a specialized Sheltered Care License, and our highly regarded Flourish℠ Memory Care program. But that isn’t what makes us different. What residents and families say makes our community special is a feeling. They say, there’s just something about the community that feels different – and better.

Enhance the Human Spirit

Maybe it’s our experienced team members who care for residents as though they were family. Maybe it’s the vibrant life-enrichment programs that offer residents countless choices and opportunities to live a full, connected life. Perhaps it is our ability to provide care for residents longer than other Assisted Living communities – even if health needs change. While all these things make Charter Senior Living of Newport News special, it’s our team’s commitment to enhancing the human spirit that truly sets us apart. We invite you to come for a visit and feel the Charter difference.

THE LIFESTYLE AND CARE YOU NEED TODAY –
AND TOMORROW

Whether you or a loved one is seeking Assisted Living, Memory Care or Short-Term Stays, at Charter Senior Living of Newport News, we promote wellness and independence while providing the best care possible when it’s needed. Our senior living community also holds a Sheltered Care License, which means we can provide more extensive care than Assisted Living typically allows. In other words a resident can move in needing minimal assistance, and if needs increase, we can tailor care to meet his or her individual needs.

At Charter, we believe every resident is unique and special, so you can always be assured our care is completely personalized based on individual needs and desires. So, whether it’s Assisted Living or Memory Care that is needed, we enhance the human spirit by creating fulfilling, personalized lifestyles that radiate love, inspiration and joy. This is a philosophy embraced by every person on our team. The result: at Charter, our residents lead happier, healthier, more fulfilling living.

I went here and was impressed that the marketing representative seemed to be up on some of the new things that were happening in the community. They have things for seniors like watching TV and open dining. They didn't have regimented mealtimes, which was good. I looked at both assisted living and memory care. They have one staff for physical therapy, and that's really good. The staff member took me on a tour of unoccupied rooms. The memory care was different in terms of the flooring because of the type of accidents (possibly from the residents). The safety within the rooms seemed really good.

Everything is nice here. I don't have any complaints right now. The place is clean, big, and a newer building. They have physical therapy, beauty salon, a gym, a coffee café, TV room, family rooms that you can reserve for parties, bingo, birthday parties, and field trips. They have snacks anytime they want them, along with the three meals. They serve good food, and the dining room is a nice size. They have probably about 12 to 15 tables in there, so it's not crowded. Whenever my family goes up there, they feel really good about where Mom is.

We're extremely satisfied with them. The very friendly and competent staff is very attentive to the needs of the residents, and we're extremely pleased. They offer any number of activities, they have daily activities of various types, the food is outstanding, and I don't think we could have picked a better place for my mother-in-law.

It is fine. My mother doesn’t like it, but they’re really not a bad facility. It is clean, but they could do a little better cleaning on the rooms. Basically, overall, I like the place. There’s a nice courtyard with activities. The only thing is that the nurses are really busy there. I don’t think the food is too bad. It’s your typical institutionalized food. The soups are outstanding, but some of the food was a little bland.

I like the fact that they have somebody at the front desk checking people in and out, monitoring who comes in and out as well as helping people find the residents they are looking for, or connect to the people they need to connect with. They have a more welcoming atmosphere. On Sundays, they have different church services for different religions that people can attend. They have a shuttle service that takes the residents shopping. The downside of this facility is that the traffic tends to get heavy.

It was very nice and we liked it. It was very clean. But it had more medical assistance than what she needed.

I had a quick tour since the place is very close to my house. The facility is nice and clean. The apartments were also nice and it's spacious. The staff is nice.

I checked out here for my mother before she passed away. The facility was so open and clean and bright. The room that I got to see was a one-bedroom unit and it was spacious. I was also impressed by the staff. They're very knowledgeable, friendly and very outgoing. They're very sweet people. Also the food served there was very elegant. They had a very nice activity program. The day that I was there, they were going to a concert, which I thought was very nice.

It was good, but they were going to put her in locked units. Even with her dementia, she was very lucid and it would do her in not to communicate with other people. She still had some of her marbles and was very intelligent and intellectual. For her not to be able to socialize would've been horrible. One drawback for us is that they had multiple floors with an elevator. Our preference would be to have everything for her all on one floor.

I have visited this facility on many occasions to visit my uncle who has been a resident there for the past five or six years. The facility is very clean, tastefully decorated, and always kept at a comfortable temperature. The rooms are nicely appointed; the residents are allowed to have many of their personal decorative items in their rooms. The rooms on the first floor open onto a very pleasant courtyard/garden area. This facility offers many activities for the residents to enjoy, such as movies, bingo and other events during holidays. The meals, according to my uncle, are not like my aunt's cooking, but he enjoys the scheduled meals and goes to the cafeteria on his own. On every visit, I encountered nothing but courteous and helpful staff. My uncle has never complained about the facility, the staff, or how well he is being taken care of. I would recommend this facility for the care of a family member.
