Charter Senior Living, a nationally recognized owner-operator and manager of senior living communities, today announced the addition of three communities to its growing portfolio of managed communities: Arbor Ridge at Huntersville, an independent living, assisted living and memory care community in Huntersville, North Carolina; Carteret Landing, an assisted living and memory care community in Morehead City, North Carolina; and Winnwood, an independent living and assisted living community in Marietta, Georgia. The expansion further builds on Charter’s relationship with owner Ventas, Inc., an S&P 500 company and the world’s second-largest owner of senior housing.
The addition of these communities marks a significant expansion of Charter’s presence in the Southeast, and further diversifies its portfolio across independent living, assisted living and memory care. It also reflects the continued momentum of Charter’s relationship with Ventas and the organizations’ shared focus on operational excellence, resident satisfaction and long-term community success.
“Expanding our relationship with Ventas through the addition of three communities is an exciting opportunity for Charter,” said Keven J. Bennema, co-founder and CEO of Charter Senior Living. “We value the confidence Ventas has placed in our team and the opportunity to bring our experience, culture and personalized approach to senior living to these communities. Just as importantly, we’re excited to welcome the residents, families and associates who will become part of the Charter family.”
As Charter assumes management of the communities, the company will prioritize a seamless transition for residents, families and associates while building on each community’s existing strengths. Charter will introduce its signature programming, operational expertise and relationship-centered approach to care, along with its people-first culture and opportunities for professional growth and development.
With communities spanning multiple levels of care, the expansion further positions Charter to meet the evolving needs of older adults while creating meaningful opportunities for associates and strengthening its presence in key markets.
“Every community that joins Charter brings its own history, culture and relationships,” added Bennema. “Our responsibility is to honor what makes each one special while providing the resources, leadership and support to help residents and associates thrive. That’s what makes this next chapter with Ventas so meaningful.”
