Century Oaks offers Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care, allowing residents to transition between levels of support without leaving the community. For those with cognitive needs, the Memory Care program accepts residents who wander day or night, have elopement risk, display behavioral issues, or live with advanced dementia. Clinical oversight covers oxygen management, special diets, and diabetes care—whether by oral medication, injections, or sliding-scale insulin. Younger adults under 60 are also accepted when qualified.

Around-the-clock nursing coverage is a defining feature: an RN or LPN is on site 24 hours a day, with additional nursing staff on call. Background-checked caregivers remain awake overnight, answer pull-cord or PERS alerts, and monitor door alarms and secured areas. An activity director coordinates daily engagement, while outside clinicians provide podiatry and psychiatric services. Personal-care assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting at the full-assist level, and caregivers handle transfers ranging from standby supervision to two-person lifts for wheelchair users.

Apartments may include a private bathroom, kitchenette, furnishings, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to paint or decorate; features vary by unit, so families should confirm availability during a tour. Independent-living residents receive weekly housekeeping, laundry service, and a monthly meal plan, freeing them from routine chores while preserving autonomy.

Dining services combine a set menu with made-to-order choices at each meal, and snacks are available throughout the day. The culinary staff manages physician-ordered diet modifications, including carbohydrate counting for diabetics, low-sodium selections, and texture adjustments.

Amenities include resident parking, designated outdoor smoking areas, and pet-friendly policies. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. The property is wheelchair accessible and offers an on-site barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and regular religious services. Scheduled transportation is provided, and the campus is close to public transit for added convenience.

Residents and their families say:

This community has garnered a mixed response from reviewers, who highlight both its strengths and concerns. The positive aspects frequently mentioned include the affability and helpfulness of the staff, the cleanliness and size of the apartments, which are described as spacious and accommodating for personal furniture and items. Many appreciated the community's various amenities like salons, in-house doctors, and social spaces (music room, library, and craft room), which facilitate a vibrant social life for the residents. Reviewers often noted the effort taken by the staff to engage residents in activities and social events, fostering a sense of community and belonging. The affordability of this community compared to others, alongside its offerings of different apartment sizes and the inclusion of full kitchens in some units, were seen as significant positives. Some reviews highlighted the inclusivity of allowing pets, which adds to the homely atmosphere for many residents.

However, concerns were raised regarding the quality of food, with multiple reviewers expressing dissatisfaction with the meal variety, preparation, and quality. The reported high staff turnover, resulting in staffing issues, was a concern that impacted the overall satisfaction for some. Although the community offered amenities like a pool, their accessibility and usability were criticized, with the pool being mentioned as off-limits for those with mobility issues. Some also noted the condition of certain amenities and common areas needing updates or repairs, suggesting that while affordable, the community could benefit from renovations and improvements to reach its full potential. Despite these concerns, the overall sentiment suggests a welcoming and caring environment, where residents can lead an active and social life, with the caveat that areas like food service and facility maintenance could be enhanced to improve the living experience significantly.
