CERTUS at Mount Dora is a memory-care-only community prepared to support residents across the full spectrum of cognitive decline, including advanced dementia. The team is equipped to manage wandering behaviors at any time of day, elopement risk, combative or other challenging behaviors, and sleep reversal patterns. Clinical oversight extends to complex medical needs such as wound care, oxygen administration, specialized diets, and diabetes management—whether the resident uses oral medications, insulin injections, or sliding-scale protocols. Younger adults with memory loss are also accepted.
A licensed nurse is on site 24 hours a day, with additional nursing support on call around the clock. Residents have access to routine and as-needed services from physical, occupational, and speech therapists, as well as podiatry, dentistry, and hospice care providers. Medication management, incontinence programs, and full ambulatory care are delivered within a secure environment designed specifically for memory impairment. Staff can assist with bathing and dressing when some physical help is required, handle complete toileting care, and provide transfers ranging from standby assistance to Hoyer-lift and bed-bound support.
Private rooms are available, and many include a private bathroom. Residents may arrange their own furniture, paint, or otherwise personalize the space, provided community guidelines are met. Basic cable, regular housekeeping, and scheduled laundry services are included, though not every room features all these options; availability depends on the specific accommodation selected at move-in.
Meals are offered through both set menus and made-to-order choices, with snacks accessible throughout the day. The culinary team accommodates a range of diet modifications, including gluten-free meals and mechanically chopped textures. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings or special occasions.
The campus is fully wheelchair accessible and features a barber and beauty shop, an exercise room, a movie room, and a wellness center. Residents can access high-speed internet, stroll in secured communal gardens, attend on-site religious services, and consult the concierge for scheduling or transportation needs.
