Charter Senior Living of Panama City Beach
5.0

place is spacious and open compared to others but still a shock when you have to downsize. food staff, activities, housekeeping and all is adequate considering the amount of people and the care they require.. the price is a shock no matter what to person who has always paid their own way in life but everything is being done for you. bang for the buck i don't know if i could hire all the services and tolerate the situation for what i pay here. i would recommend charter but the lifestyle change is a dozzy. make sure you have adaptability before you leap
