Charter Senior Living at Oak Openings offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving families a single setting that can meet evolving needs. Residents with wandering behaviors—whether they occur during the day or night—are monitored, and protocols are in place for elopement risk and other behavioral issues. The community manages complex medical profiles, including residents who stay up all night, require wound care, oxygen therapy, or special diets. Diabetic residents are supported across the full spectrum of care, from oral medications to injections and sliding-scale insulin. Care teams are trained to support advanced dementia conditions, ensuring that cognitive decline does not require an outside transfer unless medically necessary.
Licensed nurses are on-site around the clock, and an RN or LPN is always available to oversee care plans. Background-checked staff work an awake night shift, and an activity director keeps engagement high during waking hours. Security is reinforced by door alarms, a fenced rear area, pull-cord and personal emergency response systems that alert staff, and 24-hour staffing throughout the building. On-site podiatry reduces the need for outside appointments. Residents who need help with bathing, eating, dressing, or toileting can receive full assistance, and mobility support ranges from standby with a walker to two-person or full Hoyer-lift transfers, including wheelchair management.
Living options include suites with private bathrooms, select units with kitchenettes, and apartments offering independent temperature controls; some allow personal painting and décor changes, and cable is available. Because layouts vary, not every accommodation includes each feature. Dining is flexible: meals can be ordered on demand, snacks are available throughout the day, and the culinary team manages physician-ordered or preference-based diet modifications without extra charges.
Independent Living residents who choose the community have access to medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, and personal laundry services. These offerings help tenants maintain autonomy but still benefit from professional oversight, allowing a smooth transition should care needs increase.
Amenities add convenience and routine. Resident parking is provided, pets are allowed, and it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. Common areas are wheelchair accessible and include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, and wellness center. High-speed internet keeps residents connected, while communal gardens and on-site religious services support leisure and spiritual needs. Scheduled transportation, along with proximity to public transit, eases trips to local appointments or shopping.
