Memory Care

Adapting to the journey to empower each person

Our innovative memory care program places your loved ones at the center, ensuring they feel a true sense of belonging and purpose while honoring their unique interests and preferences. Our goal is to make each day the best possible day, meeting them where they are in their cognitive abilities, so we can adjust expectations and adapt care to elevate their daily experiences. John Knox Village of Central Florida has expanded its commitment to exceptional care through the acquisition of Certus Premier Memory Care in Orange City, now operating as John Knox Village of Central Florida Premier Memory Care Living.

Every dementia journey is unique

Specially trained staff and carefully designed apartments and common spaces create a secure, supportive environment for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other types of dementia. Our individualized approach to memory care encourages independence and social engagement by adapting to each resident’s needs.

Our program focuses on fostering dignity and a sense of achievement in everyday activities, enhancing self-worth, self-esteem and overall health and well-being, and minimizing feelings of fear, anxiety and frustration.

We understand how dementia can profoundly affect families, and we know that they need support too. Our primary goal is to nurture residents’ relationships with their loved ones while encouraging meaningful new connections with caregivers and their neighbors.
