Century Care Residents Go ‘Nuts’

July 18, 2012

The residents at Century Care Center went “nuts” Tuesday for boiled peanuts.

The regular Covenant Hospice Coffee Club was combined with a big batch of boiled peanuts donated by Lowry Farms in Jay.

“Yelling ‘boiled peanuts’ or ‘watermelon’ is like yelling ‘Fire!’ around Century Care Center,” said Mae Hildreth, Century Care Center’s activities director. “The only difference is the direction they run in.”

    Beautiful. My mama was also a resident at Century Care many years ago, it was great then; I am so glad to hear that it is still a good place for the elderly that need special care…especially since I will proably be there one day. I know that it is hard work for the worker’s, a special thanks to you guys for doing such a wonderful job caring for our loved ones.

It is so very sweet all the things that are done with them and for them there. All the staff works together to make it the very best for them all. Thanks to everyone for all you do and for caring for my granny and the rest of our residents there. It does not go unnoticed!

    Thanks again to all volunteers, family and community for making it possible to offer “fun” to our residents. And yes, we do care deeply for our residents.

    I regularly visit Century Care doing business and I have to say that I admire the staff there. It is obvious that they truly care and love their residents, not only on special days but every day. I only hope that if the day comes that I require a nursing home that I am placed in a facility with the compassion and care that Century Care has.

    @ Willene – It is nice to hear someone give a compliment. No place or person is perfect, and to have the first comment given a positive one, it is quite refreshing. Have a great day, Willene.
