    Responsive staff safe welcoming community

    I live here and have been very satisfied - when a water-heater leak turned into a midnight emergency, maintenance answered within hours (around 2 a.m.), were pleasant and patient, and the director oversaw thorough, professional remediation. Utilities, heating and quiet apartments are excellent, and housekeeping/maintenance are expert. There's a busy, welcoming activities program (pumpkin contest, craft fair, card club, monthly birthdays, weekly catered Wednesday lunch, Thanksgiving with the church), caring staff, and good value for the budget-minded. I feel safe and happy here and highly recommend it - I'll miss it.

    About The Centennial Senior Apartments

    The Centennial Senior Apartments is a 55-plus community managed by Wimmer Communities and offers independent senior living at affordable rates based on income, and you get your choice of one- or two-bedroom layouts, with sizes from 631 to 961 square feet, and the kitchens are pretty spacious too, which is nice for having friends or family over for a meal or a chat, and the large sunlit windows make things brighter on those days you just want to sit and enjoy the view, plus each apartment has walk-in closets for easy storage, and some units come with heated underground parking so there's no worrying about icy windshields in the morning, and they've got a full set of home features for comfort like your own refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, range, and garbage disposal.

    You'll see your neighbors out at community events, maybe entering the Halloween pumpkin contest, enjoying birthday celebrations, or going to card clubs, craft fairs, holiday dinners, or luncheons that get folks together, and there's a strong sense of community with people sticking around to socialize, and the friendly staff there help out and keep the place lively, always with a kind word for residents and visitors and making sure everyone feels welcome, and if you need, you can get extra help with home care, housekeeping, or meal programs, which is handy when things get a little harder to do, and meals are designed by chefs and meal planners to be healthy as well as tasty.

    The building has an emergency response system, secure entry with intercom, and a 24-hour emergency call system, helping everyone feel safer, and for those who need more support, there are care options from residential care and assisted living to memory care and Alzheimer's care, and when even more care is needed, there's skilled nursing for round-the-clock help and rehabilitation for those times you might need to recover from a hospital stay.

    When it comes to keeping busy and active, the place holds craft and activity rooms, a fitness center for exercise, a beauty salon, a library, and a country store for those handy last-minute things, with social, educational, and entertaining activities scheduled all the time, and outdoor spaces like the patio and pool make good spots for gatherings and celebrations, and those who want to relax or reflect a bit can use the chapel.

    The focus at Centennial is on aging in place, so you can start off independently and get support as you need it, whether that's home care, help with daily activities, medication management, or transportation, and safety is backed up with lots of features like security, ID theft protection, medical alert systems, guides for the best brands, senior-friendly bathrooms, and walk-in tubs, plus trained staff are available to help if something does happen.

    Technology services for seniors at Centennial include internet, cable, and cell phone plans with simple devices like Jitterbug phones, and the support extends to caregivers with respite care, guides, and resources for home care so families don't get overwhelmed, and the monthly social calendar means there's always an activity to look forward to, whether it's a barbecue out on the patio or learning something new with a group, and the whole place allows for declawed cats, which is a nice touch for pet owners.

    Residences stay easy to manage with maintenance-free living handled by staff, helping residents focus on hobbies and friends, and the age-exclusive neighborhood ensures a quieter community feel, with good support and comfort so seniors can live the way they want, as independently or as supported as they wish, all with features that make everyday life more practical and secure, and that's what sets The Centennial Senior Apartments apart for folks looking for a balanced place to call home in their retirement years.
