As a licensed assisted living and memory care provider rather than a Medicare-certified nursing home, Charter Senior Living is not subject to the federal skilled nursing facility (SNF) inspection framework and does not carry a CMS star rating. Licensure and inspections are overseen by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services; based on current focused filings, the community maintains a citations-per-inspection rate of zero. The care model provides 24-hour staffing and oversight for residents who require support with daily activities but do not need continuous hospital-level nursing care.

The campus manages an integrated care spectrum that includes assisted living, specialized memory care, and a flexible short-term respite program.Assisted living residents receive personalized assistance with activities of daily living (ADLs), such as bathing, dressing, and grooming, supported by an emergency response system for 24-hour safety. The specialized memory care neighborhood utilizes the proprietary “Flourish” programming, which includes evidence-based pathways such as “Flourish Connect” and the award-winning “Mixology Drink Bar” to support cognitive health and hydration for those living with Alzheimer’s and other dementias. Additionally, the community coordinates on-site rehabilitation services, including physical, occupational, and speech therapy.

The community features private residences and semi-private rooms with senior-friendly layouts, maintenance-free living, and 24-hour security. Dining is a central feature, offering restaurant-style, chef-prepared meals with a variety of seasonal options served in a communal setting. Campus amenities include common areas for social gathering, a full schedule of wellness activities, and secure outdoor spaces designed for cognitive safety and fresh-air socialization. All-inclusive services cover housekeeping, personal laundry, and scheduled transportation to local medical providers and shopping centers in the Murray State University area.

Those seeking a professionally branded community with a structured dementia care philosophy and short-term stay flexibility may find this environment appropriate. Prospective residents should contact the administration directly to discuss current unit pricing, which starts at approximately $4,695 for assisted living and $5,295 for memory care, and schedule an in-person tour to observe the Flourish programming firsthand.

Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
