Welcome to TRANSFORM, a podcast from Senior Housing News. Joining us today is Charter Senior Living CEO Keven Bennema.
Charter Senior Living is celebrating its 10-year anniversary in 2026, and the senior living provider continues to focus on value-add acquisition opportunities and new development spanning both primary and secondary markets. In the short term, Bennema sees new development being critical to meeting growing senior living demand despite tough conditions on financing and construction costs.
In 2026, Charter is focused on improving operations as it scales — sharpening its operational discipline, leaning into data analytics and AI to better manage labor, occupancy, and sales and marketing, and strengthening accountability and leadership development across the portfolio to support excellent resident care.
