What Makes Us Different?

Transitioning into an assisted living facility can be a hard decision to make, so we want to make it as smooth as possible. Our goal isn’t to make you feel like you’re in a fancy hotel every day because that’s not what home feels like. Our goal is to provide you with a new home that will feel like your own.

We know that making the decision to send your loved one to assisted living takes much thought and planning. How do you know if assisted living is the right thing for them? How do you know that we have what your loved one needs? Find out more below.

Here’s How We Help Our Residents

Our residents at Century Assisted Living represent a range of needs for assistance, from very little, to end-of-life care. We provide 5 levels of care based on each individual’s needs.

Level 1

You are able to perform your own daily personal care. You can ambulate without staff assistance, but you need a safe and secure environment.

Level 2

You need minimal assistance with your own care and reminders about your personal care. You cooperate with staff and are continent.

Level 3

You need moderate assistance with your own care and frequent reminders about taking care of yourself. You cooperate with staff and are continent.

Level 4

You need maximum assistance from staff for your daily personal care, including staff to be on hand to help you transfer from the bed, chair, and bathroom, or for ambulation. You may be uncooperative with staff sometimes or frequently. You may also be incontinent.

Level 5

You require hospice services.

Not all residents go through every one of these stages, but this structure helps provide the least disruptive transition toward dependence on others. We strive to make every transition as comfortable and respectful as possible.

What Our Residents & Their Families Say

Discover the heartfelt experiences of our residents and their families, showcasing the care and support they receive at Century Assisted Living.

I knew as soon as we visited with Ronee and Diane that mom would be in a loving and caring space. Moving an elderly loved-one into a new assisted -living space is not unlike leaving your firstborn at kindergarten for the first time. You know you are leaving them in capable loving hands, but you still want one more hug. Every time I talked to staff I knew they had taken the time to know her - they spoke lovingly and we shared laughter about her quirks. Thank you so much for all you did!

Very nice and clean. All of the people looked happy and they spent a lot of time walking me through this process with my aging mother.

What a beautiful, homelike setting. This facility us the best of everything to offer your loved one. I would urge anyone who is thinking of placing someone dear in any care environment to give them a look first.

Excellent small, clean and affordable facility. Perfect for my parents.

I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Century. They are kind. They treat the residents like family. I have no worries knowing that my mother-in-law is in good hands. I highly recommend.

My mom is a resident here and we love it. She has her own apartment, they cater to her when it comes to food and make everything from scratch just like we would at home. We enjoy talks out on the porch, tending to their cute little container gardens and listening to the kids nearby playing at the school and the park. I cannot say enough good things about them here. They care for both my mom and I like their own family.
