Charter Senior Living of Annapolis

Charter Senior Living of Annapolis sits at the Somerford Place address and offers a warm, welcoming feeling as soon as you step inside, with a secure and homelike environment. The community serves seniors with options for independent living, assisted living, and memory care, so people can get help as their needs change without having to move to a different place. Residents get support for daily activities, like bathing, dressing, and managing medications, and there's staff on duty all day and night, including licensed nurses and memory care-certified associates. The building is purpose-built for seniors, with special design features like secure outdoor courtyards, calming sensory areas, and neighborhoods that help lower confusion, too.

The community's "Bridge to Rediscovery" and Flourish℠ memory care programs are award-winning, with personalized support for people living with Alzheimer's or other types of dementia. These programs give people daily structure through activities, six enrichment pathways, and therapies meant to raise self-esteem, reduce loneliness, and help with behaviors like wandering or aggression. Memory care here uses technology like alarm bracelets, so people don't get lost, and the team knows how to handle complex care needs, including help for residents who are prone to wandering or acting out physically, plus incontinence and diabetic care.

Residents get three meals cooked every day by professional chefs, with snacks, restaurant-style dining, and menu options for special diets, like gluten-free, low-sodium, or plant-based plates; room service and guest meals are also available. There's housekeeping, laundry, beauty and barber services, and a library, plus transportation services can be arranged, though there's a cost for trips. The community has private and shared units with their own bathrooms, Wi-Fi, cable TV, emergency call systems, and furnishings if you need them, and you'll find activity spaces, lounges with a fireplace and TV, a residents lounge, and model bedrooms to see.

Social life is active with games, arts and crafts, music programs, gardening, stretching classes, and brain fitness programs, alongside devotional services for spiritual care. Onsite and visiting healthcare professionals cover everything from podiatry and dentistry to different therapy types, and there's a nurse on staff part-time, plus a medical director and full-time activity director. Residents who need skilled nursing, various levels of care-light, moderate, or heavy-or just a bit of help with reminders and mobility, can find services to fit their needs, and the staff help with mechanical lifts for transferring or standby care.
