Our mom has been a resident since 2024 and this was the best decision we could have made for her. The staff love on her as if she were their own mother. Peace of mind is priceless and we have that with Rivermere.

Every time I visit my Mom at Charter Senior Living the staff is helpful and friendly. Everyone from Virginia at the front desk, Asia, Stephanie, Marie and all the CNAs and Nurses in Flourish are attentive and wonderful. The facility is well maintained.

The staff at Charter of Orange is kind, attentive, and incredibly efficient, making every day feel safe and well supported. With convenient on‑site physical therapy that promotes both health and mobility, getting the care my family member needs is stress-free. The buildings themselves are beautiful and modern, with bright and spacious common areas, and the comfortable apartments feel like home. Meals are consistently delicious and thoughtfully prepared, with plenty of variety and fresh ingredients that residents genuinely look forward to. Charter of Orange also offers enrichment classes that are fun and interesting, and they keep residents mentally engaged and excited to learn something new. With abundant social opportunities, including group outings and events, it is easy to build real friendships in a warm, welcoming environment. I highly recommend Charter for your loved one!
