Century Oaks

Century Oaks sits in a quiet residential area surrounded by palm trees and well-kept landscaping, and you'll spot that oak tree logo when you come up the covered driveway, which always makes it easy to find, and this two-story courtyard building has 24-hour monitoring and emergency alert systems all around for safety, plus plenty of parking for residents and it's close to bus lines if anyone prefers public transportation, and you can always see the staff and the front desk folks around. The community can house up to 95 residents in spacious one- or two-bedroom apartments or in private and semi-private rooms, and every apartment comes furnished with beds, dressers, chairs, and has air conditioning, cable TV, kitchens, walk-in showers or full tubs with grab bars, and smoke detectors, and there are also accessible bathrooms throughout. The facility is licensed by the state of Florida, License #10095.

Residents can pick from independent living, assisted living, or the Bayberry Memory Care program for folks who need more support, and this dedicated memory care area has secure spaces and layouts for people with dementia or Alzheimer's, including a separate, locked courtyard. The staff includes nurses, visiting physical and occupational therapists, visiting podiatrists and nurses, and awake caregivers available all day and night, so support is always nearby, and they assist with daily needs like bathing, dressing, transfers, medication, and remembering to use the restroom for those who need reminders, though residents should be able to manage incontinence to some degree on their own. The care program covers emotional well-being, and residents with diabetes can get blood sugar checks, but no insulin injections are given. There's help for those who can act out physically or are at risk for wandering, and two-person assist transfers are provided to non-ambulatory residents.

When it comes to meals, residents get three full meals a day made by a professional chef, snacks are included, and you can expect different choices for low-sodium, no-sugar, vegetarian or vegan diets, plus a Sunday brunch and dinner, and guests can join meals for a fee. The main dining hall feels both welcoming and roomy, and you'll also find a convenience store inside for small purchases. Every week, staff handle housekeeping, laundry, and linen services, and you can even arrange for valet laundry and beauty or barber shop treatments for an extra charge. Apartments get weekly cleaning, linens changed, and all utilities are included, except for the phone.

Activities run every day and it's common to see residents joining in games like cards, pool, dominoes, puzzles, or simply relaxing in the TV lounge or one of the indoor common rooms, and there are always planned group outings, devotional services onsite and offsite, and scheduled exercise or arts and crafts sessions. The building has a swimming pool, hot tub, shuffleboard court, nature observation area, billiards room, fitness area, card room, community room, a quiet library, a pub, and a lounge for social get-togethers or just enjoying some quiet time. Residents who want more independence can make use of the kitchens in their own apartments, join in resident-run activities, or just sit outside under the covered walkways with views of the pool. Transportation is offered for medical appointments and out-of-the-building activities, and pets are welcome.

Century Oaks lets residents age in place with different care levels, so as health needs change, most people can stay in their own apartment or room. There's also respite care, hospice, adult day services, and rehabilitation support available, which is useful if someone needs a break or more short-term help. Staff coordinate moves for new residents and help with settling in, and the front desk handles requests or extra needs through a concierge. Century Oaks stands out because it can support residents with a broad range of care needs, especially in memory care and for people who need more than just light help with daily living.
