The staff have been incredible ” they’ve helped me navigate the whole transition, including coordinating with rehab, and made what could have been an overwhelming process feel smooth and manageable. I never felt like I was handling it alone. The community itself is warm and happy, always clean, and the food is genuinely delicious. My mom moves in next week, and I already feel so much better knowing she’ll be in good hands. Highly recommend Charter Senior Living in Danvers to anyone facing a similar situation.

From the moment you walk into this facility, you are met with a warm welcoming greeting and a smile that makes you instantly feel happy that you've walked through the door. As a performer who has walked through many doors throughout many years, I can't express how much this means, and I am always amazed at how special this group is - from all of its staff to all of its residents. The kindness and appreciation is truly a gift, and it is always a pleasure to be in their presence. I realize this is coming from a different perspective, but I would highly recommend Charter for any elder looking for a warm, beautiful, compassionate and fun place to live. ~ Sharon D.

What a pleasure it was to work with the staff at Charter while securing care for my parent with dementia. From the moment we walked through the door for our initial tour to the move in date we felt supported. The kind and compassionate staff made the transition as easy as it could be. We are very thankful. Christine and Andy. They make you feel like family.

My mom moved into Charter of Danvers in January, and she has gone on shopping, scenic drives. She talks about the activity staff and sys she loves them to pieces. I have visited many times, and I see how engaged all the residents are, the girl that works Saturday is always moving around. When there is happy hour on Saturdays, she has music playing, Shes talking to the residents and making them drinks and passing out cheese and crackers.

I recently found myself in a situation that I thought was impossible to deal with in the time I was given. My mom's health suddenly changed and she was living between MHG and my couch. Sadly, it was apparent during this time that my mom would not be going back to her house to live and would require assisted living. I literally had less than seven days to find and secure an apartment for my mom before MGH released her again. On a random Saturday, I showed up at Charter unannounced and asked to see the facility. None of the normal staff was there for this but that did not stop the head of memory care from showing me the facility and the available rooms. Later that day I was contacted by Denise, who I cannot thank enough. We talked about my situation and all the work be needed to be done too get my mom into Charter. The support and flexibility the whole staff provided went above and beyond, and there is just too much to list from how to get a hospital bed to assisting with obtaining VA benefits. On that Saturday I looked at five different facilities, but Charter easily stood above the rest. The happy end to this story is that my mom couldn't be happier with how her next chapter of life started.

Our family has been so fortunate to have Mom move to Charter Senior Living in Danvers. We visited and researched (5) local Assisted Living/Memory Care options and were so impressed by the distinctive "feel" of Charter! Literally the first time we walked through the door, live music was playing in the "living room" joyfully entertaining the residents. Meghan was so welcoming and made us feel at home immediately and rightly emphasized how the size of Charter was optimal for getting the attentive assistance that residents need and for feeling at home getting to know so many of the other residents on a first name basis. Even our family has been fortunate to learn about and meet so many interesting residents! The activities are so well planned each day and Jen ("Julie the Cruise Director";) has the infectious energy to involve the residents in such a variety of engaging activities and entertainment options. (Where would you ever expect to see a friendly "service" Alpaca visit and captivate all the residents and even family members!!) Their complete interior redesign project that just wrapped up gives the feel of living in a boutique hotel rather that an "assisted living facility"! In addition to their beautiful dining spaces, they also offer a magnificent private dining room for families to celebrate special occasions together. In addition, there is wonderfully maintained outdoor space to enjoy on a beautiful day and even gas grills for family barbeques! The award-winning Environmental Service Director for the facility, Ryan and his assistant Justin, are so accommodating to the residents and to their families with any needs like moving furniture, hanging pictures or window treatments, and repairs and maintenance. The memory care section, rightly named "Flourish", is extraordinary and was the only memory care unit we visited that was located on the ground level to allow easy access to a nice breezeway and a separate fenced in "backyard" area for residents to enjoy. The extraordinary director Cheryl is such a compassionate, nurturing and empathetic leader for the residents and communicates so well with the families. The aides and nurses are also so attentive and engaging in their care of and joyful interactions with the residents. The Mission of Charter is To Enhance the Human Spirit by Serving with Heart, Serving with Purpose, Serving with Courage and to Have Fun While Serving! Under the great leadership of Andy, the Executive Director, as a cohesive team, they accomplish all these goals for the ultimate benefit and enhancement of the lives of their residents that are fortunate to call Charter home! Keep up the great effort!!

We just moved mom here to be closer to family. She was apprehensive to meet new people and adapt to a new environment. Charter as a whole has been overly welcoming and accommodating. Meghan and Mary, Andy and Jen, front desk to maintenance to kitchen.could not have made this transition any easier. Very clear communication and their love for the work they do has been so heartwarming. It does not go unnoticed! Mom got a Red Carpet welcome and a Jimmy Buffet concert when going on when we arrived. Such a fun and homey place. We highly recommend this beautiful and newly renovated facility to anyone. She/We feel like she’s home. Thank You Charter 🙂

I can’t say enough good things about the staff and program at Charter Senior Living memory care. We moved my sister into memory care about a month go. The transition process went well. The program director and staff spent the time to make sure my sister felt comfortable and safe in her room and that she was involved in group activities the next day. Everyone at Charter has been very responsive to our questions and requests. My sister continues to be actively involved in the community and we are significantly less stressed knowing she is in a safe and caring place.

When I was looking around for long term care for my dad, this place stands out. The whole place inside and out is like a fancy hotel, much like a home rather than a medical facility. The process of getting my Dad there was surprisingly quick and easy. The service I received was so straightforward and very supportive, understanding at this stressful time. My Dad instantly took in, he loves it! He said it’s like summer camp! I am happy that I got my Dad there. My mom and siblings all agreed the same. The people there are all pleasant, it’s a wonderful community feel.

My mom has been living in the Flourish memory care wing at Charter for about a year and a half. I am so happy I decided on this facility when looking for a new home for my mother. Cheryl, the memory care manager, has done an amazing job making sure my mom is well taken care of, feels safe, and is staying active with a day to day schedule of activities including.daily exercise, cognitive games, crafts, baking, and the occasional field trip! Cheryl and her staff treat my mom with patience, respect, dignity, and kindness. They have taken the time to learn my mom’s interests and what brings her joy (in her case it is music and singing-they have weekly live musicians and Cheryl even started a memory care choir-which my mom loves!!!). There is an open and honest line of communication whenever I have a question or concern. Navigating a dementia diagnosis of a loved one is challenging, and Cheryl has been a wealth of knowledge. I would highly recommend Charter for your loved one if you are looking for a memory care facility.

I would like to express my appreciation for all the care and help my mom receives at The Linden at Danvers. They are respectful of my mom's wishes for her independence, but also encouraging her to accept help when she needs it. All of the staff deserves recognition for always going the extra mile to assure all the residents are well taken care of. Everyone is welcoming, friendly and helpful from the time I walk in the front door for a visit, to the professional nursing care, the administration, maintenance and dining hall staff. Thank you

My sister has been a resident of the Linden at Danvers since May of 2022. She moved there after the previous assisted living center where she lived announced it was closing and she had only 3 months to find a new residence. Fortunately, we found the Linden. From the day that she moved into her unit at the Linden, the management team and staff have been very welcoming and supportive. She now talks about how much the Linden "feels like home" to her. This is the 3rd senior living center that she's lived in over the past 10 years. While the other two facilities were fine, this facility is at a whole different level of quality -- in terms of its nursing and caregiving staff, the quality of food and dining, the variety of activities, and its sense of community. Nancy did have a problem with a wall that separated her room from another resident in that she could readily hear noise from the other room. But, after a couple of weeks, the Linden made the necessary repairs and the noise problem no longer exists. Another example of the Linden being responsive to its residents' needs. Our family could not be more pleased with how things have worked out at the Linden, and my sister and we look forward to many more good times to come.

there are not enough stars for the experience we had getting my mom Phyllis into the Linden. we were planning to move into assisted living, but had to make a truly last-minute change for memory care. literally Wednesday to Thursday based on some late-breaking developments. I was up from San Antonio TX to try and make this all happen in two weeks. it ended up taking three to get it all done, but Jen, Jen, Shane, and Cheryl all made it all happen no matter how many curveballs we were thrown. residents and staff were both asking me if I was working there now by the end of it all, and I truly wish I was. it takes a special someone to truly care for those who are no longer fully abled to care for themselves, and the Linden has a whole bunch of special someones. shout out to "A Place for Mom" for hooking us up, but I knew I had a winner from speaking with Jen French before I even left Texas. we hit our original move-in date upon mom's discharge from rehab, and I spent the last week fine-tuning her transition into her new environment. I made friends at the dinner table there, and participated in the "coffee mutiny" at the breakfast table. lack of caffeination knows no age limits apparently. but the coffee arrived, and the world was saved; I may be the only one who remembers it, but it will be a fond memory indeed. 11-month update; visited with mom for a week to cover two doctor's visits and some legal paperwork. she's gained 18 lbs, which was sorely needed, and definitely living her best life. Cheryl invited the Riverside Squares square dance club out to give a demonstration; my mom was their First Lady several times, and folks at the club still remember her and my dad. I suspect that she cheats at Bingo, but we had an absolute blast at the Equine Therapy program Cheryl set up at Windrush Farm in North Andover! I got to ride out to the farm on the bus, and my mom groomed and curried Willa, a very sweet rescued Haflinger, then we had pizza. While we did put 500 miles on the rental car, breakfast with my mom and Susan at the Linden was the best part of the day. Susan met my mom through her upstairs neighbor in Salem in the early 1940s, and they are now besties at the Linden ™ 13 October 2022 from another survey - when folks say "I can't say enough good things" they usually don't mean it. my mom is absolutely living her best life at 93 free from all of the anxiety she dealt with on a daily basis trying to stay in her home. she may not remember what she had for breakfast, but she knows that she is safe, and Cheryl will help her find her Chapstick!

We are extremely pleased with the Linden. My Mom moved from a larger independent community to the Linden a year ago. It was a perfect fit. It offers her the social connections and support she really needs. The staff are amazing. The food is great. They offer all the services you might need while still offering independence. My Mom is always busy with some activity and always comfortable. We know she is safe there. There are plenty of similar residents she connects with as well. After visiting 4 places, I am very glad we decided on this one. During COVID-19 they have met all the challenges and kept everyone safe. They are fantastic and we are so grateful.

It have been a tough year to say the least. My 69 year old sister moved up from Connecticut to spend her retirement with me and out family, we were going to have such fun together= and then she was diagnosed with early onset dementia,,,She was not able to live life on her own. Her son and I looked over homes for her and the Linden stood out as being the best place for her, i didn’t give five starts because of the Covid...it’s doubly difficult right now,,,but the staff us wonderful==and she is finally getting nourishing tasty meals..she can have her cat and i can relax knowing she’s in good hands...

They help transition my mother during the Covid crisis with incredible work ethic and attention to details. Constantly adjusting to the new procedure while keeping everyone informed. Cheryl put together a visitors sign up calendar and virtual events for family members. This facility is a great choice for food, care and quality of life.

It is a pleasure to write this review for the Linden at Danvers. Mom has been living there since August of 2019. I wanted to wait to give as much feedback as possible for others considering bringing loved ones here. Many will understand that this can be a very stressful time when having to make the decision to move a parent or family member away from their comfortable surroundings. Let me help make one of the stressful decisions easy, The Linden has changed our lives. Mom was adamant that she was not leaving her home. Understandable having lived in the home my dad built for her. When it became obvious her memory was not what it once was and her safety was at risk we moved quickly to find a safe place for her. After visiting multiple places we decided to bring mom to visit the Linden as it clearly stood above and beyond other places we saw. From the first visit we knew we made the right choice. She was overwhelmed and as we left that day said if she ever did have to move that would be a nice place to go. My family and I met many of the staff on that initial visit, each one as pleasant and friendly as the next. It may cross your mind Are they just laying it on as a front to get you in there. Please ignore that thought! My instincts took over and I just knew this place was different. I could not have been more right. Mom has adjusted incredibly well in such a short time and the reason is simple, the staff is amazing. In 6 months, visiting at least 3 times a week I’ve yet to come across a staff member who was not pleasant, helpful and considerate. They all know mom by name and all of her quirks and I can say honestly they enjoy helping her when needed. This includes everyone on the staff. From the folks at the front desk, the folks checking in on her daily, the cleaning staff that roams the halls, the nurses that are onsite, the amazing kitchen/dinning staff right up to the management staff. I’ve come to know them all. No place is perfect and yes there were some issues but here is where the staff at The Linden at Danvers stands out and shines. Any issue, big or small was always, and I mean always, immediately addressed. We’ve had daily staff help us immediately. We’ve had the on call managers show up when warranted and take care of things. There was a serious maintenance issue in the room and Chris (Maintenance Manager) was constantly in contact with me to update us and eventually solve the issue permanently.I hope Michael and all his staff are extremely proud of their facility because they should be. Seeing a loved one being cared for this well creates a domino effect through the whole family. We are in such a better place than we were 7 months ago and it’s all due to these fabulous people. Please seriously consider The Linden if this tough decision faces your family. I’ve recommended them to many folks already and will continue to do so.

memory care is a dump - it is filthy dirty - - saw a hangar keeping a door open in someones room = patients are all gathered like cattle in a common area - staff are found eating, on cell phones and even sleeping - no attention being paid to patients. have witnessed dinner being served in dining room - plates are removed before patient is done eating. Saw a patient grabbing something off her plate as it was being wisked away . have witnessed staff stuffing their faces with left over food. all staff - nurses and aides have not an ounce of compassion /caring/empathy/respect for patients -- they somehow forget these patients they ignore - actually pay their salary. have witness staff come behind a patient grab hold and move wheel chair without even telling patient what they are doing-- patient starts yelling and grabbing and staff's comment 'stop yelling and keep you hands in your lap'. management is pathetic, unresponsive to concerns - the fact that they allow the place to be so filthy - they should be embarrased to call themselves leaders . stay away --unfortunately I am not derision maker -- otherwise my loved one would be long gone state should close this place down this is a no star facility

It's a pleasure to recommend The Linden after recently transitioning my mother there. The GM and administration are professional and welcoming. The aides are pleasant and courteous. Great variety and tasty menu options. Numerous and engaging activities. Gratefully, my mother received a rapid response from aides and RN's for a choking episode - very reassuring. We waited 10 days to get the schedule for laundry, housekeeping and showering but other than that, it's a wonderful community!

What a gift The Linden at Danvers is. After an extensive search, my family chose The Linden as my mother's new home as her health began to decline and she needed more care. She's been living there for 8 months now and we couldn't be happier with her care, experience and lovely new friends that she's made. It is a warm, welcoming, caring community that is staffed with the most thoughtful and loving people; and the residents are happy and engaged. My mother loves it there and we're so grateful to have found it. If I could give it 10 stars, I would.

We researched numerous (non denominational) assisted living campus' in the North Shore area for my elderly parents. No facility is perfect, as this is a transition in life that no one truly wishes for. My father had dementia and needed memory care; my mother needed assisted living and some respite dealing my father's failing mental health. The Linden (Brookdale at the time) served as a great option. She had her own assisted living apartment upstairs from memory care and could spend as much time as she needed with him. He passed a short while later and mother has been there ever since. The staff and management have been excellent. LeisureCare (aka The Linden) took over management last year and has been great (if not better). Staff and management seamlessly remained in place, which was important for us . They make every effort to create a pleasant and active environment, with daily activities, entertainment, holiday parties, day trips and more. The staff take a true personal interest in the residents and make every effort to make them happy and comfortable. The food (an extremely important criteria) is also well above average (it's never home cooking in assisted living, but they do a good job and make every effort to please the residents. We are very, very pleased with the facility.

Mom has been at the Linden for a few years and several months ago was moved to Memory Care. Her decline is accelerating and it is sad to watch. The care Mom receives is outstanding. Equally as important is the sincere concern, affection and friendship she enjoys with the staff every day. The all know Mom personally I can see how much she enjoys and trusts everyone. The Linden is a special place. My family has gotten to know everyone who works there and are amazed at their commitment to all the residents and their families. I applaud each and everyone for a job well done...jobs that can be very challenging....yet always done with a smile. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking such good care of Mom.
