    Caring staff, clean facility, trustworthy

    I placed my loved one at Century Living and have been very pleased. The staff are friendly, caring, and attentive - they know residents and families by name, keep the place extremely clean, and provide tasty home-cooked meals, pleasant private rooms, and engaging activities. Management communicates well and I feel my family member is in trustworthy, family-like hands; I highly recommend Century Living.

    Summary of reviews

    Century Assisted Living I elicits a mixed but distinct set of impressions. Many families emphasize a clean, well-maintained physical environment with pleasant private rooms and a generally agreeable odor profile. Dining is frequently described in positive terms—home-cooked, tasty meals—and common areas and rooms are noted as comfortable. The facility also presents as having an active social calendar and events that several families found engaging.

    Staff are the strongest recurring positive. Numerous comments highlight friendly, attentive caregivers who know residents and family members by name and create a family-like atmosphere. Reviewers describe timely care interactions, respectful listening, and staff who appear invested in residents’ comfort. These strengths are reflected in multiple recommendations and statements of trust in day-to-day caregiving.

    At the same time, there are consistent operational concerns that prospective families should weigh. Several accounts describe failures to deliver specific promised services—most often assistance with bathing and the availability of daily activities as advertised—creating a perception of mismatch between what was promised at admission and what is actually provided. Relatedly, activity-program reliability and the consistency of personal-care scheduling are noted as uneven.

    A second cluster of concerns centers on staff conduct and management responsiveness. Some families cite issues with staff communication tone and professionalism, and a subset describe escalations that involved oversight authorities or resident transfers. These observations point to leadership and quality-control gaps rather than uniform facility-wide failures: strengths and weaknesses appear unevenly distributed, with some residents and families experiencing highly positive care and others encountering notable service shortfalls.

    For families considering Century Assisted Living I, it is advisable to verify specific promises in writing (for example, bathing assistance frequency and activity schedules), observe staffing during shift changes, ask about recent regulatory history and corrective actions, and contact current families when possible. The facility demonstrates clear strengths in cleanliness, meals, and warm caregiver–resident interactions, but also shows operational inconsistencies that merit direct clarification during the tour and admission process.

    About Century Assisted Living I

    Century Assisted Living I sits in Carbondale, Illinois, and provides care for up to 12 residents in a single-story building that's easy to get around, with wheelchair access throughout so nobody has to struggle if getting around becomes tough, and the place has private studio rooms that come furnished with phones and all the basics, meaning residents can just settle in, and each room is connected to emergency alert systems for safety. The community offers personalized attention with a staff-to-resident ratio of one-to-six, so folks get more support than in bigger places, and round-the-clock care is always there for help with things like bathing, dressing, meals, medication management, and transfers. The whole approach centers around helping people stay independent as long as possible, using tailored care plans to match daily needs, and skilled nursing staff work with doctors to help manage conditions like diabetes and memory loss. The place focuses a lot on memory care, with special training in Alzheimer's and dementia, and it's an Alzheimer's Certified community, so residents dealing with memory issues get routines, safe spaces, and gentle supervision day and night, plus memory care residents have private rooms, specialized dementia programming, and social and cognitive activities to keep them sharp and connected, which can help keep depression at bay. The building also suits independent living and assisted living, with short-term respite care, home care, hospice coordination, and even adult day care offered on top. Meal services include options for allergies and diabetes, and meals take place in a shared dining room for a bit of company; cleaning, laundry-including dry cleaning-are part of the package, and housekeeping means less to worry about. People here can join scheduled activities like movie nights and walking paths, spend time in gardens and common rooms, or just relax in their own furnished space. Medical transportation gets residents to outside appointments, and the staff coordinates with healthcare providers to support changes in medical needs. They're a member of state and national assisted living groups, hold a state license, and the owners, Pat Foglesong and administrators Teresa Ford and Teresa Oldfield, keep things running. The average rating for Century Assisted Living I is 8.4 out of 10, which gives a sense of how residents and families feel about the place and the care. The overall environment puts comfort and safety first without being fancy, and the team aims to keep life satisfying, supportive, and as independent as possible for everyone who lives there.

    No, Century Assisted Living I does not offer respite care. Respite care in assisted living communities provides temporary, short-term relief for primary caregivers by offering professional care for their loved ones. It allows individuals to stay in an assisted living community for a limited time, giving caregivers a break while ensuring residents receive necessary support and assistance with daily activities.
