Charter Senior Living of Newport News – Memory Care
Charter Senior Living of Newport News, Memory Care offers assisted living, memory care, and respite care in Newport News, Virginia. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident lives in a studio or one bedroom residence. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering, while respite care offers a short term stay for a family caregiver who needs to travel or recover.
The community is in the North Newport News neighborhood and has 104 beds. Studios and one bedroom residences give residents a choice between a single room layout and a layout with a separate bedroom. Memory care starts at $6,995, reflecting the secured setting and supervision associated with that level of care.
Angel Lawhorn serves as the administrator. Scheduled transportation, rehabilitation services, and daily lifestyle programming and activities are available, giving residents planned transportation, rehabilitation support, and regular activities through the community. A Walk Score of 57 is somewhat walkable, meaning some errands can be done on foot, so a resident who no longer drives can handle certain nearby errands independently.
The combination of multiple care levels and short term stays fits a resident whose needs change over time or a family caregiver who needs temporary support. It offers room for care needs to shift without requiring a separate community for every stage.
