CERTUS at Waterford Lakes is a dedicated Memory Care community equipped to serve residents living with all stages of dementia, including advanced conditions. The team is prepared to manage residents who wander, attempt elopement, exhibit combative or other challenging behaviors, remain awake at night, require special diets, or need oversight for oral diabetes medications. Younger residents under 60 are accepted when their medical profile fits the program, and individualized care plans are adjusted as clinical needs change.
Clinical support is reinforced by an on-site RN or LPN, a 24-hour nurse on call, and an awake night staff. Background-checked caregivers monitor fenced and alarm-secured grounds, with pull-cord alerts in resident areas. A consulting podiatrist visits regularly, and full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting. Transfer help ranges from standby supervision to two-person lifts, accommodating walkers and wheelchairs.
Resident suites may include a private bathroom and cable service, although these features are not present in every room. Spaces are designed for ease of navigation and quick staff access, reducing fall risk and supporting residents who use mobility devices.
Meals follow a set menu with optional made-to-order selections, and the kitchen honors physician-ordered diet modifications such as diabetic, low-sodium, or texture-altered plans. Staff remain on hand in the dining area to provide full feeding assistance when needed and to monitor intake for residents with special nutritional risks.
Common areas are wheelchair accessible and include an exercise room, movie room, wellness center, and internet workstations. Residents can attend on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation is available for medical appointments and community outings.
