Charter Senior Living Now Manages Charlotte Retirement Community

Family-Owned and -Operated Charter Senior Living Welcomes Charter Senior Living of Charlotte to Its Family of Communities

When Keven Bennema began working in the senior living space as a caregiver, he never knew that humble beginning would turn into a career and passion aimed at enhancing the lives of seniors for decades to come. As the now co-founder, president and CEO of Charter Senior Living, he’s taking that mission to the Charlotte area. The family-owned and -operated company recently became the management company for Charter Senior Living of Charlotte (formerly known as The Social at Cotswold). Their mission is to take the once-ordinary Assisted Living and Memory Care community and make it an extraordinary place where residents, families and team members can thrive.

“This management of Charter Senior Living of Charlotte gives us the opportunity to grow our mission of enhancing the human spirit of everyone who enters our community,” said Bennema. “This isn’t just a name change for this community; it’s a true cultural and lifestyle change that will boost this growing population for years to come.”

Charter Senior Living of Charlotte is located at 3610 Randolph Road in Charlotte. The change in management will increase the family of Charter Senior Living retirement communities to more than 40 throughout the United States. Charter will bring its vibrant and new life-enrichment programming, chef-inspired meals, and culture of caring team members.

Currently, more than 11% of the population of Mecklenburg County has already reached their senior years. That number will continue to climb as more baby boomers reach age 65 every day. With this substantial increase, the area will soon see a greater need for quality care for seniors. Charter Senior Living hopes to fill that need. “We strive every day to be a caring and compassionate leader within the senior living industry,” said Bennema. “More importantly, our goal is to demonstrate that commitment to our residents every single day.”

Bennema and his team have more than 100 combined years of experience in the senior living space. With each new community Charter manages, Bennema visits with residents and works beside the team members in hopes of increasing everyone’s love and passion for this industry. In addition to increasing activities and dining options, Charter has plans to renovate Charter Senior Living of Charlotte within the coming months. They’re also creating new opportunities and resources for employees to grow within the company.
