We were incredibly touched to receive a special delivery from the elementary students at the OYC Miami! Their kindness came in the form of handwritten letters and beautiful pieces of artwork, all created just for our Memory Care residents. Moments like these remind us how powerful connection can be across generations. Thank you to these thoughtful students and the team at Overtown Youth Center for brightening our day and bringing so many smiles. ❤️

New year. Same mission. As we step into 2026, we’re reminded of what matters most: connection, purpose, and joy. ✨ At Charter Senior Living, our mission remains the same: to enhance the human spirit by creating meaningful moments and supportive communities where our residents thrive.

This January opens like a fresh canvas brushed with possibility as we welcome a new year filled with creativity, curiosity, and lighthearted joy.

Our theme, Playology: The Art of Fun, celebrates the truth that play is something we carry throughout life. It strengthens our minds, nurtures our spirits, and connects us in beautifully meaningful ways.

This month, we are embracing play in a whole new way by exploring it through the many National Fun Days woven throughout January. With a full calendar of themed celebrations and creative moments, residents will have countless opportunities to jump in, explore freely, and enjoy the simple delight of play.

Together, we step into the new year with a joyful mindset that invites exploration, connection, and creative expression. Here is to a January filled with wonder, connection, and the beautiful art of play.

For information on upcoming programs, please see your Community Life Engagement Director.

🌟 Shining a Spotlight on Charter Senior Living of Panama City Beach! 🎨💛

Their team recently shared this incredible painting created by Carol, one of their talented and compassionate CNAs. Carol studied commercial art in the 80s before finding her true passion in serving older adults, and we’re so grateful she did. She combines her love for caregiving with her artistic talent, creating heartfelt pieces like this Charter Express scene to brighten residents’ days.

Thank you, Carol, for sharing your creativity and your heart. And thank you, Panama City Beach, for cultivating a community filled with joy, purpose, and extraordinary team members. 💙✨

🧤🎄 It’s National Mitten Tree Day! 🎄🧤

Today, we’re celebrating the warmth of hands and hearts by decorating our very own Mitten Tree! Every mitten added to our tree isn’t just a decoration; it’s a symbol of love, kindness, and the joy of giving during the chilly winter months.

Everyone is invited to help “warm up” the season by contributing mittens, gloves, or hats to our giving tree. These items will be donated to local shelters and families in need.

Let’s come together, spread warmth, and turn our community tree into a tower of compassion. ❄️💙
