Century Oak Care Center was founded in March 1987 on four beautiful acres directly across from Southwest General Hospital in Middleburg Heights by Frank R. Crisofi, Daniel E. Rocker, Robert L. Soltz, and Stewart Bossel. Frank began in residential real estate before venturing into office buildings and shopping centers, including Berea Commons. Past President of both State and National Boards of Realtors, he now concentrates on hotels under the flags of Marriott and Hilton, in addition to currently working on Cambria Suites in Indiana.

Daniel Rocker is a dentist and real estate developer with developments in downtown Cleveland and the Rockside/I77 corridor. Robert Soltz, now deceased, was President and owner of AMI with over twenty-five hotels nationally and a graduate of Harvard Business School. His wife has continued to oversee their participation in Century Oak Care Center. Stewart earned his Masters Degree in Economics and Finance from the Berkeley University of California, and is a successful real estate developer of shopping centers and office buildings.

Dedicated to promoting dignity, community, and wellness, Century Oak has a twenty-plus year tradition of providing quality nursing care within a family-style environment. We met recently with Director of Nursing Carol Grell, RN, BSN, BA, and listened as she described the care available at Century Oak Care Center;

Century Oak Care Center is a 116 bed facility providing short and long-term care, Alzheimer's and Dementia care, rehabilitation, skilled nursing services, respite, and hospice care in a home-like environment. From the moment you step inside, you will realize that Century Oak does not look or feel like a nursing home. Our atmosphere is open and inviting, and we do everything we can to make our facility feel like "home" to our residents.

We believe that each resident is a valued individual with differing needs and strengths, and has the right to make choices about their daily living that enable them to live a lifestyle of independence and personal dignity. We strive to preserve those unique characteristics of our residents while respecting the wisdom, inner strength, and the special graces that come with age.

Choosing a long-term care facility for your loved one is an important, and quite often difficult decision. We understand this and want to help make that decision easier for you. Our staff is ready and willing to help make the transition for residents and their families as comfortable as possible, and to make everyone feel right at home. Most importantly, we give the family members and caregivers of our residents the peace of mind that comes from knowing their loved ones will receive the loving care they themselves would expect, plus the qualified expertise their loved ones need and deserve.

Our 48,000 square foot facility features spacious semi-private and private rooms that are cable and telephone ready. Available amenities include housekeeping and laundry service, beautiful dining rooms, attractive lounges, and secured outdoor courtyards. We provide social, recreational, and wellness programs, on-site beauty salon and barber services, and access to dental, optometry, and podiatry services. We maintain an open visitation policy twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, and pets are permitted to visit.

Whether it is for a long or short stay, we strive to ensure our residents experience a full range of activities, including exercise, music, and laughter. In addition to regular weekly activities, we host many functions throughout the year for our residents and their families. At Halloween our children come to Century Oak to trick or treat, we have a Thanksgiving Day Buffet, an annual celebration where we crown a King and Queen of Hearts, and the dog handling group that meets here once a month brings along their dogs and visits with the residents after their meeting. The wife of one of the center's owners raises Alpacas, and has occasionally brought baby Alpacas into our courtyard for our residents to see and pet.

All of our staff members are highly skilled and take a sincere interest in the wellbeing of our residents. Many of our staff members have been here for over ten years, and several have been at Century Oak since shortly after we opened.

Century Oak Care Center is a Medicare and Medicaid-approved facility providing quality nursing care within a family environment. Call Century Oak Care Center today, and don't forget to tell them The Middleburg Heights, Ohio Community Advocate sent you!
