Charter Senior Living of Danvers delivers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, supported by medical protocols tailored to residents who wander during the day or night and those with a history of elopement. The community is prepared for residents living with advanced stages of dementia, with licensed nurses on-site and a registered nurse or licensed practical nurse on call around the clock. Night-shift staff remain awake, and care plans are overseen by an Activity Director who coordinates cognitive and therapeutic programming. Podiatry visits and a dedicated therapy room are available without residents having to leave the property, and every exterior door is alarmed while the rear grounds are fenced to reduce exit risk. Pull-cord systems and personal emergency response devices tie directly to staff stations for quick assistance.
Daily support extends to full assistance with bathing, dressing, and toileting, as well as some physical help with meals if needed. Transfer capabilities cover walkers, wheelchairs, standby supervision, one-person and two-person transfers, and full mechanical lifts, which allows the team to admit and retain residents whose mobility or strength changes over time. An around-the-clock staff presence and 24-hour security provide additional oversight, and all caregivers receive training in dementia-specific communication and behavior management techniques.
Apartments include private baths, kitchenettes, individual climate controls, basic furnishings, cable access, and the option to personalize with paint or décor; however, not every unit offers every listed feature. Regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are part of the monthly fee, and independent living residents can add housekeeping, personal laundry, medication-management monitoring, and a predictable monthly meal plan if they choose.
Dining includes a rotating set menu, an on-order menu at each meal, snacks available throughout the day, and the ability to take meals in the apartment when desired. Dietary modifications such as low-sodium, diabetic, or texture-altered meals are coordinated through the culinary team and nursing staff to align with physician orders.
Residents have access to parking, outside smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, full wheelchair accessibility, an on-site barber and beauty shop, exercise and movie rooms, a wellness center, internet throughout the building, communal gardens, religious services, a library, special-interest clubs, scheduled transportation, and proximity to public transit. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
