Chartier Home

I was looking for a warm, home-​like care home for my husband and I hit the jackpot when I stumbled on Chartier Home, LLC. Lovely period home in Redwood City’s historic core, filled with antiques and loving caregivers. Hal has a light filled private room across the hall from his private bathroom with all tile flat floor that allows wheelchair roll in to the spacious, safe shower. Big kitchen with huge antique dining table that faces a big bay window so residents can look out at a water filled bird fountain to watch feathered friends bathing and neighborhood residents passing by all day. Joggers, dog walkers and moms and strollers all provide welcome visual stimulation and make one feel they are in a warm, old fashioned farmhouse kitchen.
The administrator of Chartier Home is Jessie Merritt, who has over 30 years experience in nursing and care home ownership. She is truly an angel on earth as she puts her heart and soul into ensuring the elders in her care are treated with love, dignity, respect, and ²⁴⁄₇ professional care.
My husband was in hospice for advanced Parkinson’s Disease and dementia and I was able to return home after each visit knowing he was getting better care and was happier than he would be still living in our home. Also, I was able to get the rest and peace of mind that would be impossible to achieve if Hal was not at Chartier Home.
Hal passed on his 83^rd birthday on March 31, and he received the most superb loving care and attention as he made his transition. Thank you, Jessie, and your wonderful staff!
