Charter Senior Living of Newport News

We're very pleased with Charter Senior Living of Newport News, and if we can swing it, we'll probably give it a try and get my mother-in-law in there. It was very lovely and clean.

We're very pleased with Charter Senior Living of Newport News, and if we can swing it, we'll probably give it a try and get my mother-in-law in there. It was very lovely and clean. The people were very friendly. Even the people that lived there were very friendly, they were trying to get us in there. It was very nice. The 1-room was very nice and laid out to a courtyard. It's a little big for my mother-in-law, but the smaller one is still very nice. They have large bathrooms and just enough room for what she needed. Everything looks great. They had lots of things, and the dining room's very nice and clean. We're highly impressed.

I would recommend Charter Senior Living of Newport News to other families searching for their loved ones.

Our loved one was only there for a short time, but we had a wonderful experience. When we first took the tour we had stopped to speak with a few residents and asked them if they liked living there and they said they loved being at Charter Senior Living. Everyone there seemed so happy, and active. The residents always had a smile on their face and you could hear them bantering back and forth with the staff members. It has such a positive and happy atmosphere to it. The staff members are just wonderful. Every evening and even sometimes during the day the residents would just go hang out with one another the hallways and talk back and forth and really just enjoys each others company. The meals and dining service is very very good. They also have a ton of different activities, even though our loved o inne did not have the chance to participate in them they were great. Every time we visited residents were either off loading on the bus or getting on it to go on some day trip. We do think the value for the money was very good, compared to other facilities in the area they are very reasonable.

Charter Senior Living was VERY expensive. They do not accept anything but Patriot Angels to help with the cost. The facility to me just seemed cold and sterile. The facility itself was very spread out and you had to go through many doors to get places, it was a lot of walking for the residents. The ...

Charter Senior Living was VERY expensive. They do not accept anything but Patriot Angels to help with the cost. The facility to me just seemed cold and sterile. The facility itself was very spread out and you had to go through many doors to get places, it was a lot of walking for the residents. The sales people called me to death and it was just all about the business, not about the care.

The whole experience was a joke. We showed up for the tour and no one was there to give us the tour, so someone random stepped up. They said once it was over they would call us and they did, but it was 3 weeks later. They looked to be very short staffed. It also had that nursing home smell and feel ...

They said once it was over they would call us and they did, but it was 3 weeks later. They looked to be very short staffed. It also had that nursing home smell and feel to it. I would not recommend the facility to anybody based off of what we saw.

The only problem we think this community has ran into is just with staffing and loosing some workers but we understand that is everyone, overall this community is really nice and we have heard no complaints from our loved one.

The only problem we think this community has ran into is just with staffing and loosing some workers but we understand that is everyone, overall this community is really nice and we have heard no complaints from our loved one. We are happy we got our loved one a first floor apartment. They have a ton of different activities to keep the residents busy. One week they had like a big "take a cruise" where they would do different things each day and at the end of the week had a big cruise dinner where families could come. They have bingo a few times a week. They have different social hours especially when it is someone's birthday. They also have outings to different grocery stores and museums. We would recommend Charter Senior Living to other families.
