You should never have to make a quick decision about long-term care.

At Charter, we offer Short-Term Stays that immerse you or your loved one right into a day in the life of a resident. If you need a break or are temporarily unable to care for yourself or your loved one, let your extended family at Charter Senior Living of Chattanooga be your backup plan.

Charter Assisted Living in my opinion is the best option for your loved ones. We had my brother there from Oct. 2024 thru July 2025. The staff were some of the best to work with and cared for him as he were their own family!! I want to personally thank Kendra Coulter and Starlana Camp for always having the best interest of they're residents at the top of their list. Should we ever need this kind of assistance again, we will surely go to this facility.

As a healthcare practitioner myself, I'm picky about the care my family receives. When my dad had a stroke last summer and suddenly needed new housing with 24/7 support, on a tight budget, Charter of Chattanooga was Heaven-sent. They have consistently gone far above and beyond with his care and support. The staff know him by name, and it really feels like a home for him. My dad is now thriving. After having worked so hard on his healthcare needs right after his stroke, I've felt like I could finally relax with him being there. The director and staff are very communicative, and they contract with great providers (physical therapists, etc.), who've also been very communicative. Cannot adequately express how happy I've been with his care here, and how relieved I am that we found Charter.

Ms. Kendra is legitimately living being the hands and feet of Jesus! We were in a really rough situation with my dad and the passing of my grandma. Kendra was an answered prayer and had a room ready so quick for my dad! They even allowed us to store some items for my dad at the center because I had to get back to my home out of state. She met with us one on one to explain how Charter works and provides for the residents. She made us feel very welcomed and comforted. My dad did not have a way to get from his current living area to his new home and Kendra stepped up and picked him up herself! Our family truly could not be more thankful for her and this place! Ms. Kimmy in the office is also amazing! On the day we moved stuff in she let me borrow a wagon to help! My dad speaks so highly of both ladies and the workers here. They put in the effort and love to get to know each resident and take time to talk to them and make them feel at home. We highly recommend Charter to anyone looking for a place for independent living or assisted living. The building is clean, pretty, and renovated. The services are fantastic and they involve families in everything!

My mom passed away at 94 after living for two years at Charter Senior Living of Chattanooga. The loving care she received while there was extraordinary! She started in independent living and transitioned to assisted living. This facility has been undergoing some significant upgrades and it continues to improve. It is a great choice for a reasonable cost with high quality care. The Executive Director is so personally involved and demonstrates her commitment to the best quality of life practicable for every resident. We are so blessed that our mom received the care and living dignity she had at Charter Senior Living of Chattanooga.

So thankful for the continued care, love, and concern shown for my mom throughout the 5+ years spent at SV/Charter Sr. Living. Kendra and the staff there have been very accommodating in meeting our needs at many different levels. It is such a comfort knowing that Mom is being cared for by those who are called to provide the individual attention needed by the residents.
