Assisted living in Carbondale, Illinois.

A little help can change the day.

When daily routines begin to take more effort, it helps to have someone alongside you.

At Century, personal assistance and medication management sit alongside the ordinary pleasures of home: a private room, meals shared family-style and activities matched to ability and interest. Our single-story setting is deliberately small. The family story behind Century explains why.

Find the support that fits.

A nurse assesses needs before move-in. That assessment guides the care level, with reviews quarterly and whenever needs change. Tell us what your loved one enjoys doing independently and where help would make the day easier.

• Talk through personal care, mobility and daily routines.
• Discuss medication management and any specific support needed.
• Understand the assessed care level and individual monthly quote.
• Ask how a change in needs is reviewed.

Our five levels of care explain the range of support, from a monitored environment through greater daily assistance and hospice accommodation. The assessment helps establish whether Century is the right fit for the individual.

See more than a list of services.

On a visit, ask to see a private room and shared spaces. Walk the route to the dining area, meet the team and talk about meals, activities and the help your loved one needs. Bring someone who knows their routines well.

Use our assisted-living tour questions and printable care and cost comparison to keep your notes together as you compare homes.

What if memory is part of the picture?

Tell us about the changes you are noticing. Century also provides Alzheimer’s and dementia support. Your loved one’s doctor can help evaluate memory changes; a conversation with Century can help you understand the care available here.
