Century was built the opposite way — two houses, a tight-knit family of residents, and caregivers who notice when something's different because they know what normal looks like for each person.
Specialized, Alzheimer's-certified care in a secure, familiar, single-story home — designed for orientation and calm, not corridors and confusion.
Memory care at Century →Nursing staff on site around the clock, every day of the year — with medication management and care plans reviewed quarterly and whenever needs change.
Levels of care →Private rooms, fresh locally sourced meals, daily activities, and yes — we're pet-friendly. Single-story living with no elevators and no institutional feel.
Why small is better →Richard and Patrick Fogleson searched for a safe, dignified, personal memory care home for their mother as she lived with Alzheimer's. They never found it — she passed before they did. Century Assisted Living is what they built so other families wouldn't face the same search empty-handed.
