Charter Senior Living Picks Up 13 Communities in ‘Calculated’ Growth Strategy

Charter Senior Living CEO Keven Bennema is leading the company on a growth strategy this year, with the recent addition of 13 communities in Illinois and Wisconsin that were formerly managed by Cedarhurst Senior Living. Bennema emphasized a pathway towards ownership and joint venture partnerships for every community they operate, aiming for continued growth and development opportunities. This expansion follows the management of six New England-based communities earlier this year and upcoming ground-up projects in Wisconsin and Kentucky. Charter’s focus on leadership development and staff retention has been instrumental in their growth, with over 100 internal promotions to higher leadership positions. The company remains committed to managing existing assets while expanding partnerships to support their ongoing growth plans.
