ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, NJ, UNITED STATES, July 22, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — This week, CareRite Centers joyfully recognized over 85 residents who have reached the age of 100 or more as part of the debut Century 100 Club, a system-wide program designed to honor centenarians within the CareRite family. Taking place across CareRite communities on Tuesday, July 21, the event united residents, relatives, caregivers, and staff to applaud the extraordinary lives, strength, insight, and enduring contributions of the organization’s centenarian residents.
Founded by CareRite Centers Co-Founders and Principals Mark Friedman and Neal Einhorn, the Century 100 Club was created to guarantee that every individual who attains this remarkable age is feted not only for their long life, but also for the knowledge, experiences, and motivation they continue to offer to multiple generations of families and caregivers.
More than 85 centenarian residents were acknowledged throughout the CareRite network during the first Century 100 Club festivities.
Over the course of the day, each facility arranged customized celebrations that featured special acknowledgments, sincere tributes, shared recollections, and expressions of appreciation reflecting the distinct paths of every Century 100 Club participant. Relatives gathered alongside care teams to honor a century of affection, perseverance, and the countless experiences that have influenced successive generations.
“The Century 100 Club was created to celebrate the incredible 85 residents across our CareRite family who have reached the extraordinary milestone of 100 years and beyond,” began Neal Einhorn, Co-Founder and Principal of CareRite Centers. “These remarkable individuals have lived through history, built families, strengthened communities, and carry a lifetime of wisdom that continues to inspire us every day. This celebration is our opportunity to honor their legacies while learning from the experiences they so generously share with all of us.”
"This week's celebration honors the remarkable lives of our centenarian residents and the immeasurable impact they have had on their families, communities, and all of us who have the privilege of caring for them. Every resident's journey is filled with resilience, love, and invaluable life lessons, and we are proud to celebrate not only their longevity, but the extraordinary legacies they continue to build each day," shared Dr. Ashley Romano, Chief Experience Officer at CareRite Centers.
The event also underscored the profound wisdom shared by CareRite’s centenarians, offering timeless guidance accumulated from lives spanning more than a century.
