Century Assisted Living I offers a thoughtful and home-like environment for individuals transitioning into assisted living, with a particular emphasis on memory care. The guiding philosophy at Century Assisted Living I is to provide a living space that truly feels like home, rather than mimicking the sterile or impersonal aspects of a hotel. The transition to assisted living is understood to be a deeply personal decision, often requiring ample planning and consideration, and the team is dedicated to making this shift as smooth and respectful as possible for residents and their families.
One important distinction at Century Assisted Living I is its specialization in memory care. The facility serves residents at various stages of cognitive decline, with a specific focus on supporting those with Alzheimer’s disease and different types of dementia. While individuals without dementia are also welcomed, the unique care needs of those experiencing memory loss are central to Century’s approach. This is reflected in the range and flexibility of care provided, which spans from minimal assistance to comprehensive end-of-life care. Residents’ needs are carefully assessed, and care is tailored using a five-level system to ensure that each individual receives support that matches their evolving requirements, minimizing disruptions during transitions between levels of care.
At Century Assisted Living I, care plans are built around personalized support for daily living activities, such as assistance with bathing, dressing, meal preparation, and medication management. For example, residents like Mary Jane, who sought a secure and nurturing environment to pursue her passion for art, benefit from engagement activities designed to stimulate cognitive abilities while respecting their independence. Others, like those who enjoy crafts such as crocheting, continue to participate in meaningful activities, enhanced by the supportive and safe environment provided at the facility. Depending on the resident's condition, additional needs such as regular blood pressure monitoring, nutritional oversight—such as monitoring for strong preferences like sweets—and gentle guidance in everyday tasks are also available.
A key aspect of the care at Century Assisted Living I is its focus on cognitive and social engagement. Residents participate in activities that promote speech, memory, and social interaction, which can help slow cognitive decline and contribute to overall well-being. The staff is dedicated to maintaining a vigilant, safe, and clean environment, ensuring that those at risk of elopement or experiencing significant memory loss are supported without feeling restricted. Personalized care extends to those recovering from medical events, such as transient ischemic attacks, ensuring that both their physical and emotional needs are addressed as they adjust to new routines.
The studio rooms at Century Assisted Living I are structured according to the five-tier system, with costs varying according to the level of care each resident receives. This allows for an adaptable, needs-based approach that evolves with the resident’s health and personal preferences. The aim throughout is to nurture dignity, foster independence where possible, and create a compassionate community where residents can lead fulfilling lives, supported by attentive and skilled caregivers who understand the nuances of aging and memory care.
