    Century Care Center is a class act with quality care, I know first hand. Mom spent her last days there and her care was all that we could ask for.

    Congratulations Mrs. Smith on your retirement, For 16 years you have put in with all of these people in CCC, giving them the love and care that they needed; thanks for all you have done with them all and all of your dedication. I’m sure you will probably find yourself going back to visit the residents there from time to time… Now, get out and do some things for yourself and have fun…
    Again, HAPPY RETIREMENT…
