Your Best Day, Every Day: Exploring Assisted Living at Charlesgate

Imagine a day where every moment is tailored to bring comfort, connection, and joy. Assisted living should empower residents to embrace independence while enjoying the peace of mind that comes with personalized care and support. Our vibrant community is designed to enhance each resident’s quality of life, offering a seamless blend of wellness, activity, and relaxation.

Curious about what life here looks like? Let’s take you through what a typical day, filled with meaningful experiences and opportunities to thrive, could look like at Charlesgate.

In the morning

The day begins at each resident’s own pace, whether they’re an early bird or a late riser. When they’re ready, they can meet their friends for a nutritious breakfast in our newly renovated and beautiful dining room. On Sundays, we offer a fresh omelet station where residents can order their own perfect dish.

Morning activities offer a chance to get moving with gentle exercise like weekly chair yoga or beach ball volleyball. According to the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, regular exercise can help reduce the risks of developing dementia, depression, heart disease, stroke, and eight types of cancer. Our activity program features rotating experiences that focus on wellness, movement, and quality of life.

Our care team is always available to assist residents in activities of daily living, such as:

• Bathing
• Dressing
• Administering medications
• Dining
• Navigating around the facility

In the afternoon

A delicious and nutritious lunch is served in the dining room where residents can eat and socialize with their friends. Studies show that social activities and community can help reduce the risk of dementia and improve cognitive function.

The afternoon is ripe with opportunities for social engagement and exploration. In the afternoon, residents might find themselves:

• Enjoying the outdoors (seasonally) on our patio or with our walking club
• Participating in art class, letting their creativity flow
• Attending wellness educations programs like “Diabetes Management” or “Living with COPD”
• Joining in on a cooking demo with our chefs
• Engaging in spirited games of cards or board games with fellow residents
• Checking out some books in our reading room
• Enjoying alone time in their private apartment.

Our robust activity program aims to get seniors active, engaged, and connected to the community. Seniors who participate in regular community activities report a 30% higher satisfaction with their quality of life and are more likely to maintain independence longer. Try a new hobby or join some friends for a game.

In the evening

As the day winds down, dinner is served in the dining room. On special dessert cart nights, our chefs whip up special sweet treats for our residents. Residents are free to relax in their private rooms before bed or join other residents for evening activities and games.
