Charter Senior Living of Jefferson City offers two primary levels of care—Assisted Living and Memory Care—designed to support residents who need help with daily tasks or who live with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias. Diabetes care is available, routine wellness checks are scheduled, and a speech therapist is on call for communication or swallowing challenges. The community also accommodates respite or short-term stays, giving family caregivers a break and potential residents a trial period.

Medical oversight extends beyond basic support. Licensed nurses are on site, hospice care can be coordinated, and staff manage medications, incontinence needs, and ambulatory assistance. Occupational and physical therapists, as well as a podiatrist, provide regularly scheduled services. The building is a secured community with keyed entries and a visitor sign-in system to monitor who comes and goes, and snow removal is handled by staff to reduce slip hazards and maintain safe access year-round.

Apartments come in several layouts, some with kitchenettes, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and cable or satellite TV. Select units overlook outdoor areas, and some are pet-friendly, though not every apartment includes all of these features. Shared spaces offer a central fireplace, a piano or organ, and on-site parking for residents who still drive.

Dining is designed to accommodate varied dietary needs. Meals are prepared daily, and the kitchen can serve low-sugar, low-sodium, gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan plates. All-day dining allows residents to eat on their own schedules, beverages and snacks are available between meals, and guests can join loved ones for planned or impromptu meals.

Residents have access to an activity center, library and computer lounge, and outdoor walking paths with raised garden beds. Scheduled social outings, happy hours, game and movie nights, live-music performances, reminiscence and Montessori-based programs, speaker series events, birthday celebrations, and a men’s group add structure and social connection. For those who enjoy exercise, a swimming pool and allowed outdoor spaces encourage movement.
