Charter Senior Living of Brookfield sits on a large, light-filled campus where residents have access to independent living, assisted living, and memory care, all together in one place, so people can get more or less help as their needs change over time, and the place is managed by Charter Senior Living, a family-owned business with a leadership team that's been caring for seniors for more than 100 years combined, so you know they've been around and probably seen a lot. The community aims to make life better for its residents, families, and employees, focusing on respect and offering a real sense of purpose and belonging where staff and residents build strong bonds, kind of like an extended family. Residents can have visitors any time, day or night, and many like that freedom, while daily life includes scheduled programs, games, help with everyday needs, and special programs unique to Charter, like the Flourish℠ memory care approach for people with dementia or memory problems, all tailored to each person's level of care, whether they want to live independently, need a little help, or more support.
The building itself holds a lot of different living options, like cozy studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom apartments, private bathrooms with walk-in showers, and individual climate control, plus in memory care, there are private studios and friendship suites, all nestled around safe courtyards, so folks can get fresh air and enjoy the outdoors. There's always staff on site and an emergency call system in case someone needs fast help, and each resident gets weekly housekeeping, laundry, and daily bed-making, which can really lighten the load and let people focus more on doing things they like, such as gathering in the movie theater, reading lounge, or card room, getting a haircut in the salon, eating a healthy meal at the bistro or restaurant-style dining room with booths, or joining a game of poker, billiards, or chess. There's also the PrimeFit Wellness & Fitness Center to help folks stay active, beautifully landscaped grounds for walks, and a cozy communal space with a fireplace when the weather gets cold.
Residents get access to a Concierge from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., scheduled rides for errands or appointments, maintenance help, and all utilities except for landline phones, so keeping up with bills is pretty simple. The kitchen serves up nutritious meals and modified dishes in the memory care neighborhood to suit special dietary needs. Short-term stays are available, and the staff provides guides and planning tools for families thinking about a move, plus both in-person and virtual visits for those who want to look around first. Charter Senior Living of Brookfield emphasizes personal care, safety, and keeping life engaging, aiming to help seniors feel comfortable and connected, even as their needs change.
