The Linden at Danvers

From the moment you walk into this facility, you are met with a warm welcoming greeting and a smile that makes you instantly feel happy that you've walked through the door. As a performer who has walked through many doors throughout many years, I can't express how much this means, and I am always amazed at how special this group is - from all of its staff to all of its residents. The kindness and appreciation is truly a gift, and it is always a pleasure to be in their presence. I realize this is coming from a different perspective, but I would highly recommend Charter for any elder looking for a warm, beautiful, compassionate and fun place to live. ~ Sharon D.

What a pleasure it was to work with the staff at Charter while securing care for my parent with dementia. From the moment we walked through the door for our initial tour to the move in date we felt supported. The kind and compassionate staff made the transition as easy as it could be. We are very thankful. Christine and Andy. They make you feel like family.

Our family has been so fortunate to have Mom move to Charter Senior Living in Danvers. We visited and researched (5) local Assisted Living/Memory Care options and were so impressed by the distinctive "feel" of Charter! Literally the first time we walked through the door, live music was playing in the "living room" joyfully entertaining the residents. Meghan was so welcoming and made us feel at home immediately and rightly emphasized how the size of Charter was optimal for getting the attentive assistance that residents need and for feeling at home getting to know so many of the other residents on a first name basis. Even our family has been fortunate to learn about and meet so many interesting residents! The activities are so well planned each day and Jen ("Julie the Cruise Director";) has the infectious energy to involve the residents in such a variety of engaging activities and entertainment options. (Where would you ever expect to see a friendly "service" Alpaca visit and captivate all the residents and even family members!!) Their complete interior redesign project that just wrapped up gives the feel of living in a boutique hotel rather that an "assisted living facility"! In addition to their beautiful dining spaces, they also offer a magnificent private dining room for families to celebrate special occasions together. In addition, there is wonderfully maintained outdoor space to enjoy on a beautiful day and even gas grills for family barbeques! The award-winning Environmental Service Director for the facility, Ryan and his assistant Justin, are so accommodating to the residents and to their families with any needs like moving furniture, hanging pictures or window treatments, and repairs and maintenance. The memory care section, rightly named "Flourish", is extraordinary and was the only memory care unit we visited that was located on the ground level to allow easy access to a nice breezeway and a separate fenced in "backyard" area for residents to enjoy. The extraordinary director Cheryl is such a compassionate, nurturing and empathetic leader for the residents and communicates so well with the families. The aides and nurses are also so attentive and engaging in their care of and joyful interactions with the residents. The Mission of Charter is To Enhance the Human Spirit by Serving with Heart, Serving with Purpose, Serving with Courage and to Have Fun While Serving! Under the great leadership of Andy, the Executive Director, as a cohesive team, they accomplish all these goals for the ultimate benefit and enhancement of the lives of their residents that are fortunate to call Charter home! Keep up the great effort!!

Beautiful renovations at Charter that I’ve been seeing lately. As a VNA nurse, I absolutely love coming here and providing care to the residents. Everyone is always pleasant and they always have activities to keep everyone entertained and included.

The new and beautiful renovation is great, but, that’s not what makes charter Senior living Of Danvers a wonderful place. As our family knows, it’s the people like Lucy in memory care as well as Laydene, Raud, Hope and their fearless leader, Cheryl. I know I haven’t mentioned all of the great people that work here. You are in our thoughts in this wonderful renovated space.
