CareRite Centers launches Century 100 Club for centenarian residents

CareRite Centers will mark July 21 with a network-wide celebration honoring residents age 100 and older across its communities. The initiative is meant to recognize their stories, bring families and caregivers together, and reinforce the company’s person-centered care message.

Why it matters: - The Century 100 Club turns resident longevity into a network-wide recognition program. - CareRite Centers is using the celebration to spotlight centenarians’ experiences, relationships and influence on families, caregivers and local communities. - The initiative also reinforces CareRite Centers’ person-centered care approach by centering residents’ stories, not just their clinical needs.

What happened: - CareRite Centers launched the Century 100 Club, an annual celebration for residents who are 100 years old and older. - All CareRite communities will recognize centenarian residents on Tuesday, July 21, with special events, personal tributes and shared memories. - The program is network-wide and includes families, caregivers and team members.

The details: - The company says the Century 100 Club is meant to honor residents’ wisdom, resilience and legacies. - Dr. Ashley Romano, chief experience officer at CareRite Centers, called reaching 100 “a legacy.” - Romano said the program celebrates the “three rings” of CareRite’s community: team members, patients and residents, and families and communities. - CareRite is asking families, caregivers and team members to share photographs and videos of centenarian residents. - Those submissions will be included in a network-wide tribute to each member of the Century 100 Club. - The celebration is framed around the message: “A century of life, a lifetime of love. Thank you for a hundred years of wisdom, grace, and guiding us with your beautiful hearts.” - CareRite Centers provides post-acute rehabilitation, skilled nursing, memory care and long-term care services. - The company says it uses innovative clinical programs and compassionate, resident-centered care to improve quality of life and strengthen community connections.

Between the lines: - The launch gives CareRite Centers a branded way to connect operations, family engagement and resident storytelling. - The emphasis on centenarians also creates a visible example of the company’s broader care philosophy. - The program may help deepen emotional ties with residents and families while reinforcing CareRite’s public identity.

What's next: - CareRite Centers will hold the first network-wide Century 100 Club recognition on July 21. - The company will gather resident photos and videos for the tribute effort. - Future annual celebrations will likely continue to honor residents who reach 100 and beyond.
