For the value for cost, its peace of mind and expensive. However, I would say the community feels friendly, caring and understanding. Yes, we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience so far. It's been a great change for my mom and my dad. They are both able to thrive. one daughter's opinion

Be vigilant

The facility was bright, spacious and clean with a section for more serious care if needed. Initial impressions across the board were favorable. However, I found the level of attention my father needed was not provided as time passed. If you have a loved one there, you must visit everyday to ensure proper care.

Review for Charter Senior Living of Bowie

My dad only ended up living for one week when transferred to Charter, so my experience is limited. It is difficult to work with Charter and Gilchrist Hospice together and to get medication when first getting there or a new prescription or a change in instruction as their pharmacy is in Virginia and delivers in the middle of the night. I felt gaslight when expressing concerns about my dad to both Charter and Hospice. If you or your loved one isn't at the very end of their life it could maybe be a decent place but unfortunately I don't know.

Our experience

What i like most is the location and that it's a smaller group of residents than it was at the last place she was at. They could improve on being more organized, more aides to assist residents, and more activities.

Review for Charter Senior Living of Bowie

Clean, basic needs facility is economical compared to more expensive nursing care facilities for more active residents. Friendly, energetic African immigrants who appreciate the opportunity to work and make an impact for end of life. Your recommendation lead us to choose this facility at time of need and worked out well.

Yes, there are improvements. Why are they asking me to bring bath soap/wash and deodorant for my mother when we pay them [fee removed] per month? Shouldn't they supply that? Also several months ago we took 4 or 5 large black bags full of unopened Depends to the facility and they still charged us a monthly fee. ????? Also, I don't find out about happenings at the facility until it is too late to make plans to be there.

The caregivers at Charter Senior Living are excellent but the time to get substantive responses from administration can be too lengthy.

Good first impression.

Placed my 99 y.o. father there. He needed a smaller facility with more staff than where he had been. Initial impressions from management on down were very good. However, as time passed I found I had to be there to ensure his needs were being met. He was supposed to be on a laundry and shower schedule, but was not given this service untill I insisted they do this. I found him in the common area one time with a swollen arm seeping fluid onto himself, his wheelchair and all over the floor. When I told the duty nurse, her response was "the human body does that sometimes." I was appalled and got the director involved. He was taken to the hospital. Things improved when Hospice got involved. They were amazing. He passed away a few weeks later. Lesson learned: don't ever assume any facility will fulfill their obligations. Your loved one must have an advocate to ensure their care.

Our family's experience.

What our family likes the most about Charter Senior Living is the executive director is very proactive and willing to do what it takes to resolve issues. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

Charter Senior Living of Bowie review

The food can always be better but both of our loved ones have gained weight there so it can't be that bad. The pricing could be better too. Mom complained about the lack of activities and that almost all the other residents were wheelchair bound and more feeble than she

Our Experience

The move in process left a lot to be desired. It took they forever to fix the broken drawer in my mom's room and the broken toilet paper holder and the cable still does not work almost two months later. I don't think much of the doctor/nurse practitioner. I asked them for a letter from the doctor to take to the social security office about a month ago and am still waiting. I had to cancel my appointment with the SS office. Also, I had an appointment for a care meeting 3 days ago and am still waiting to hear from them. I think the meals are great. My mother seems to like everything that they serve. The assisted living side is gorgeous, but the memory care side is kind of bland and cold. As far as staff, they do whatever I ask, however it is hard for me to understand them. Most of them speak with a strong accent. I don't think they communicate with the family as much as I would like.

The community is quick to acknowledge any of the family's concerns. They have friendly and helpful staff. This feels like a home away from home for my loved one. It would be nice for the community to spruce up the surroundings a bit with some paint to cover up any patch areas.

I thought Charter Senior Living of Bowie was okay. The rooms were small, but the staff was really nice. For us, they were tied with another facility for 2nd / 3rd choice when it came to decision time.

Heartfields At Bowie

The staff at Heartfields made our family feel at home from the first day my parents moved in to the community. The staff is caring, kind and knowledgeable regarding the resident needs. As my parents daughter, whenever I bring up a need or things my parents need, it is addressed immediately! The nursing and care staff keeps me informed of any changes, big or small, in my Mom's condition.

The People Are Great

Well, they do not provide clarity between their levels of care. In other words, they have several different levels of care that they provide. I asked them if there was any documentation that detailed the different levels and exactly what it means and they said they don't and that it's done on a formula and everyone is individually evaluated, which I didn't like. The people are great though and my mother loves the people who take care of her, they are very sweet and kind.
