Charter Senior Living of Franklin sits quietly at 105 Sunrise Circle in Franklin, TN, where you'll find a senior community with plenty of choices for how folks want to live as they grow older, and the place pays close attention to what each person needs, whether that means independent living with fewer worries, assisted living with help for daily chores like bathing or getting dressed, or memory care for those living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and even short-term stays if someone just needs care for a little while. The campus feels homey, with its rocking-chair front porches, a welcoming gazebo, lush gardens and water fountains, and inside you see common areas filled with plush chairs, big windows, and cozy living rooms where residents gather to chat or watch TV. There's always natural light streaming in through bright windows, and the bedrooms use warm colors, comfortable chairs and beds, and simple decorations so everyone feels at ease. The private bathrooms are made to be easy to use, with grab bars, granite vanities, and walk-in showers, while the apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options, all with individual climate control and kitchenettes that have a microwave, mini-fridge, and a few small touches to make it feel like home, like decorative canisters. For dining, folks eat in an elegant room with tables topped with linens and artwork on the walls, and meals are made to be nutritious and tasty, while the community also takes care of weekly housekeeping, laundry, bed-making, and general upkeep, so residents can focus more on enjoying their days.
The daily schedule is full of activities and clubs, like fitness classes, bocce ball, continued education, storytelling, and trips into town to places like CoolSpring Galleria, Lane Motor Museum, or even Loretta Lynn's Ranch, not to mention crafts, social programs, and plenty of chances to make friends or connect with others, since visitors are welcome any time, day or night. The care team-called Charter caregivers-has years of experience and gives everyone a care plan that fits what they need and want, whether it's help with medications, moving around, or companionship, and the whole place is designed so folks stay as independent as possible while still feeling safe, thanks to things like grab bars, accessible apartments, a 24-hour call system, and doorbell entry after hours. Charter Senior Living of Franklin offers five different assisted living floor plans, all in a building that feels less like an institution and more like a true home with its single-story layout, vinyl floors, comfortable furniture, big closets, and homelike touches around every corner. Residents can keep pets, use the high-speed internet, and enjoy specialized programs for wellness, plus the community works to create real bonds, focusing on both senior well-being and even intergenerational connections, under the leadership of a family-owned company with a long track record in senior care. All the while, services from transportation to daily help aim to take the stress out of life for seniors, giving them more time and energy to do what makes them happy, all in an environment that balances privacy, safety, comfort, and a strong sense of belonging.
