My Mom is a resident at Charter Senior living in Cookeville. I am so appreciative of all the activities that they offer. Last week, Mom called to ask if I wanted to go on a helicopter ride with her. She is 95 yrs old and this offer thrilled me that she was interested and engaged in the activity.

Outstanding retirement living! I’m there almost every day visiting a dear friend. The staff is attentive, the food is delicious, and the activities are so much fun! Cheyanne, the activities coordinator plans outings throughout the week. The residents go to plays, take trips to Nashville to the Parthenon, to the Chattanooga Aquarium and on Thursdays, they take a trip to “nowhere,” a scenic drive. I highly recommend Charter Senior Living.
