Review for CERTUS at Mount Dora
First of all it is close to the rest of the family so they can visit often. Second, it is very well designed and maintained. It didn't look or smell like an elder care facility and third, the senior staff seemed to have a good understanding of memory care.

A nice community
It's a tuff business! There were some issues with the amount of paperwork. All business is having help issues and turn over. It's always the sales pitch to get the beds filled. Over all everything went well. There probably wouldn't have been a better place. Plus it was a good size. She had several falls. There is always room for improvement.

Review for CERTUS at Mount Dora
Some of my loved ones things have turned up missing, and they are not always well shaved. We picked this community because, one community was unacceptable, and the other was ok but had too many add-on which would raise the cost per month. In speaking with Certus I felt it was the best solution overall and I still feel that way even with all the issues I mentioned before. Communication with families needs to improve.

Memory care that goes above and beyond
When I think of CERTUS the first thing that comes to mind is that the staff. Particularly the director and the front office staff, who are very very responsive. For example: CERTUS is in Mount Dora, Florida and I live in Huntsville, Alabama. I visit every 6-8 weeks to check on my sister and see how things are going. If I call or send an email, I'll get a response back the same day. I have emailed the business manager a question regarding billing at 7pm on a Friday night, and she replied within 30 minutes. There was an incident between my sister and another resident, so I emailed the director to ask what had gone on and she replied within an hour. This was on the Sunday night of a holiday weekend. It really means a lot to know there is always someone there who will answer my questions, day or night. Regardless of whether I'm checking on something or simply asking a question.

Very Professional
CERTUS at Mount Dora is a much better place than where my mom was previously. It's the perfect place for her situation and a really great community. They needed to fill some rooms, and there were a few promises made about evaluations that haven't been done yet, but overall things have been good. The communication between the nursing staff & head nurse and our family has been difficult. We've been trying to get information about what we should be doing for my mom, i.e. hospice, prescriptions, etc. We've been in the dark about that, and wondering "what needs to be done next"? We're a bit in the dark about medication(s) and specifically medical care. It's been hard to get the right answers. Overall, I would absolutely recommend CERTUS to others.

We chose Certus because they were cleaner, they care about what they were doing, and the price point was good. They seemed to really want to provide my father with the best possible care that they could. The staff give the family great peace of mind and we would recommend them to others looking.

Highly recommend for memory care
When you are looking for memory care, a lot of places tell you that they specialize in it and that is not the case. CERTUS truly specialize in that type of care, everything is catered to the residents and they are always doing studies to make things better for them. If you have loved one who needs memory care, this is the place to go, it is the best that I have seen.
