CERTUS Premier Memory Care Living

At CERTUS Premier Memory Care Living, we’re committed to joining residents on their memory loss journey, helping to minimize the symptoms of dementia or even slow the progress of their disease, while enhancing their daily experiences – and our groundbreaking, evidence-based methods make it all possible. In addition to our long-term Memory Care residences, our community offers the option of short-term Respite Care stays, ideal for seniors who are recovering from a surgery or illness or to provide relief to a full-time caregiver.

Yes, and our transportation is purposefully designed. For many of our residents, experiencing life beyond the community’s walls is very important. To ensure that we support this need, we have designed a bus based on the latest research on comfort and resident ability. Our bus is equipped with color-contrasted seats and a headset speaker system to engage residents while they’re on their journey. Our bus caters to all residents' abilities by providing a chairlift and easy-to-climb steps.

In addition to our signature programs, our residents enjoy a daily calendar that is filled with meaningful activities. For more information on the daily activity schedule, please feel free to call us at 352-633-4696.

At CERTUS Premier Memory Care Living, our research-based and evidence-based approach to Memory Care uses a variety of programs to support whole-person health in your loved one. By treating the individual rather than the disease, we promote greater wellbeing, helping empower your loved one to find more meaning and purpose in each day. Some of these signature programs include: A living community is architecturally designed with key features allowing residents to be more successful each and every day. Using a combination of color contrast theory, lighting, and wayfinding elements, these unique structures are easy to navigate and offer plenty of ways to help residents feel engaged. MAPS (Meaning and Purpose) program uses residents’ professional experience and personal skills to help engage them in everyday tasks in order to elevate their confidence and bring meaning and purpose to their lives. FIT MOMENTS: This program helps improve independence and physical wellbeing by encouraging residents to stay physically fit through daily activity with short bursts of exercise. Even residents who aren’t fond of traditional exercise can be encouraged to build physical strength through activities such as setting up chairs for an event or working in the garden. SPIN: Our resident wellness program, SPIN, stands for Social, Physical, Intellectual, and Nutritional Wellness. This research-based support program focuses on activities our residents can still do, maximizing their success as they journey through the day, helping to improve cognition, stimulating appetite, and encouraging independence. MUSICAL BREATH: Our award-winning program uses music therapy to engage residents, decrease sundowning, and foster neurological stimulation. Music is carefully selected for mornings, mealtime, and evenings and is played over a specially designed speaker system, throughout the community, as well as outside, in our therapeutic garden. PURPOSEFULLY-DESIGNED TRANSPORTATION: For many of our residents, experiencing life beyond the community’s walls is very important. To ensure that we support this need, we have designed a bus based on the latest research on comfort and resident ability. Our bus is equipped with color-contrasted seats and a headset speaker system to engage residents while they’re on their journey.
