We liked the friendly people and clean facilities. It was nice having the unit vacuumed and mopped every week and the laundry done and folded.

Charter Senior Living of Paris TN

4.5
What we like the most about the community is the friendly and attentive staff. Dad loves it here, he doesn't ask to go back to his old home. When I decided on Charter Senior Living in Paris, it was because residents were moving around on their own and socializing. They seemed happy.
