Hello Friends and Family! Even though it’s winter we continue to allow social distanced visits with the same guidelines we have had in place. These visits will need to be scheduled as we have to limit the number of visitors within the designated area within the facility. Please contact Melissa at 417-838-3648 or [email protected]

Thank you Seasons Hospice for bringing your horses to visit us. They looked wonderful in their holiday attire. The residents loved them!

One of our residents had a special visitor today. This is Connie a Dog he rescued off the side of the road 6 years ago he said! We love our outside visits!

Received this from one of our residents daughters. So touching and a humble reminder of what our precious residents may experience. I was going through Mom's papers and found it. Sadly, it is so fitting to her life. Hope you and your crew are doing well! I am grateful and thankful for each and everyone of you! -Shared with permission

Thank you, Guardian Pharmacy! #NationalAssistedLivingWeek2020

09/10/2020 We have conducted our 4th testing at Century Pines of residents and employees. We experienced a significant reduction in the positive cases. This is great news and gives us hope that the trend will continue. The most recent test results as of today indicate two new residents that are positive. These residents are not showing symptoms. There is one employee who tested positive.... All other residents and employees that previously tested positive have now tested negative. There are no other positive residents or employees at Century Pines other than the current 2 positive residents and 1 positive employee. There are no known cases at the Hopedale Cottage or the Oaks Cottage. Our employees have been incredible in their efforts. It has been incredibly stressful due to the shortage of employees and the need to work extra shifts. The residents have also demonstrated increased cooperation after realizing that COVID19 IS REAL. They have experienced it firsthand with fellow residents testing positive and a few having been sent to the hospital. The residents of Christian, Greene, and Taney counties need to continue to be vigilant in their efforts against COVID. The positive cases in the communities that we live are continuing to increase. Therefore, please continue to be vigilant in your efforts to stop the spread of the virus. I want to thank you for your support, understanding and prayers for all our residents and employees. My best regards, Jim Edwards President, The Communities of Retirement at Century Pines, Inc.
