My wife has been at Charter Senior Living of Columbia for about a year now. The staff is just wonderful. They treat her very well. The food is good. They have meals 3 times a day, and they have a lot of activities. I get a report every week of all the activities that she went to. They have entertainment that comes through on special days. As a matter of fact, on Memorial Day, they're having a picnic, which I'll be attending with my wife. She shares a room with another resident, but it's pretty separate. There's a single bath that they both share. When we want to take her out, we call them and let them know when. They get her ready and make sure she has all her medications taken. When I go pick her up, she's ready to go. Overall, we're just very happy with this place.

We were challenged in early 2013 to find a memory care facility in the Washington-Baltimore area for our mother, who had just been diagnosed with vascular dementia. Looking back, we were impressed with the Columbia facility, the professional staff, caregivers, and administration. The Montessori-style programs designed to engage the residents in challenging educational and physical activities were also an impressive bonus of your program. The ensuing eight-plus years have confirmed that Charter-Columbia was the best place for our mother. Staff engagement through daily, planned activities such a flower arranging, music, arts and crafts, kept our mom focused on making the best of each and every day. Caregivers adopted Mom as part of the Charter family, creating a warm and loving environment. The culinary staff provided meals that would put five-star restaurants’ menus to shame. Their willingness and ability to continue to provide healthy and appealing meals when Mom began to experience difficulty in eating, was above and beyond our expectations. The medical and physical therapy staff ensured that mom’s health and physical abilities were their number one priority. Even during the COVID pandemic and her declining health, the staff went out of their way to engage Mom with love and compassion whenever she was able to respond.

I found it to be a very customized and family oriented place. It feels very much like home. The staff are very friendly and happy. Their rooms are just of the right size; they are not large, but adequate. Their food is OK. They have a robust activity director, so even on weekends, they have a lot of things to do there. They bring outside people and do different shows.
