Does Charter Senior Living of Vinings offer memory care?
HFRD's public data does not show memory care at Charter Senior Living of Vinings, and none of its indexed surveys describe a memory care unit. That does not prove it has none; ask whether it holds Georgia Memory Care Center certification before considering it for a parent with dementia.
Certification under 111-8-62-.19 / 111-8-63-.19 brings a secured environment, dementia-specific staff training and added activity and staffing requirements. Read our walkthrough on verifying Memory Care Center certification.
What does Charter Senior Living of Vinings's license type mean for residents?
Charter Senior Living of Vinings holds an Assisted Living Community license, Georgia's higher-acuity assisted living license under 111-8-63. ALCs must have at least 25 beds and may offer more hands-on help than a Personal Care Home, including medication assistance by certified medication aides and care for residents who need help getting out in an emergency.
Ask which license applies to the specific wing your parent would live in — some Metro Atlanta campuses operate a PCH and an ALC under separate licenses.

How much does Charter Senior Living of Vinings cost?
No public record lists what Charter Senior Living of Vinings charges; request the written rate schedule before you compare. For context, assisted living in Metro Atlanta typically runs $3,900 to $5,900 per month in 2026.
Because Atlanta spans the full metro price range — from budget-friendly West End options to premium Buckhead communities — it is where families have the most room to compare on cost and care level.
Paying for it: Georgia's Community Care Services Program (CCSP) waiver and SOURCE can pay for care services for Medicaid-eligible residents, but neither pays room and board in a PCH or ALC, and not every community accepts them. Veterans and surviving spouses may qualify for VA Aid & Attendance. See SOURCE vs CCSP.
