As Charter Senior Living celebrates 10 years of growth, Co-Founder and CEO Keven J. Bennema recently joined Senior Housing News on its Transform podcast to reflect on the company’s journey, discuss emerging opportunities, and share his vision for the future of senior living.
With more than 70 communities across 18 states, Charter continues to expand through strategic acquisitions and new developments while staying true to its mission of enhancing the human spirit.
During the conversation, Keven discussed Charter’s strategic growth approach, including expansion into markets where demand for quality senior living continues to rise. He also highlighted the company’s 15th ground-up development, Charter Senior Living of West Chester in Pennsylvania, and the opportunities ahead as the industry prepares for increasing demand.
Innovation and operational excellence were also key topics, with Keven sharing how Charter is leveraging business intelligence, data analytics, and emerging technologies to strengthen operations, support community leaders, and enhance resident care. He emphasized the importance of investing in strong leadership, empowering associates and building a culture where people feel valued and supported.
Throughout the discussion, Keven reinforced that while the senior living industry has tremendous opportunities ahead, long-term success requires more than growth alone. It takes strong relationships, thoughtful innovation, and an unwavering commitment to residents, families, and associates.
As Charter looks toward its next chapter, that people-first philosophy remains at the heart of its approach to growth and innovation.
