Our Senior Wishing Tree is almost ready to shine next week! 🎄 Each ornament will represent one of our 60+ wonderful residents and their holiday wish list!🎄🎁

If you’d like to get a head start, you can text “WISHING TREE” to Amber at 847-532-5639 and she will randomly assign you an ornament early — you’ll receive a photo of the ornament along with that resident’s gender and wish list so you have everything you need! Once the Wishing Tree goes up next week, you can still text to be matched with an ornament or stop in and pick one straight from the branches!

Thank you in advance for all of your support and kindness, it truly means the world🌎🎄🎁

There’s nothing better than a day filled with laughter, memories, and a little nostalgia ✨📚

Our trip to the Dunn Musuem took us through Childhood Classics: 100 Years of Original Illustration — a stunning look at the stories and artwork that shaped so many of our favorite childhood moments!

It was fun, inspiring, and such a heartwarming way to spend the afternoon together!💙

Today, we celebrated Veterans Day with the incredible men in our community who proudly served our country. The afternoon was filled with laughter, stories of service, and plenty of pizza to go around! 🍕🇺🇸 

One special moment came when a veteran’s wife shared an original Navy mug that she was given — it even had a message about how Navy wives have some of the toughest jobs out there. 💙 How special is that?

We’re so grateful for all who served and for the families who stood beside them! 🇺🇸

Golden leaves swirl 🍂like glowing embers across the November sky, as our community steps into a season where even the air hums with wonder. This month’s theme, Autumn Enchantment, transforms daily life into a living spellbook.

Picture corridors shimmering with laughter, gatherings brimming with delight, and everyday programs transfigured into moments touched with mystery—like candlelight🕯️ dancing against autumn’s fiery hues or the hush that falls before a story begins. With each sunrise, our programs open hidden passages into worlds of imagination, fellowship, and joy.

And yet, the most powerful enchantment cannot be found in relics or artifacts. It lives within us—in the connections we nurture. Smiles shine like golden lanterns, acts of kindness ripple outward like light upon water, and every shared moment becomes a gift that brightens lives well beyond our walls. With Autumn Enchantment guiding November, Charter Senior Living becomes not merely a place to reside, but a haven of discovery, joy, and belonging.🤝

See your Life Engagement Director for details on upcoming enchanted programs and events.
