"Avoid CERTUS memory care in OC. My attorney and a third party medical team found CERTUS memory…read morecare in Orange City directly responsible for the death of my father due to significant negligence over his 3+ week period of residence last summer. On June 27th 2020 my Dad walked into CERTUS, on July 22nd 2020 my Dad was wheeled out of CERTUS and transported by ambulance to the Advent Health OC Hospital ER. When he arrived at the ER he was in near death condition with renal failure, septic shock, extreme dehydration, untreated extreme UTI, sodium levels through the roof. He lost his ability to swallow because of the neglect and had to be fitted with a PEG feeding tube in his stomach. He spent the next 3 months bouncing around between hospital PCU, ICU, long term acute care and Orange City Nursing / Rehab skilled nursing (another horrific failure where he contracted MERSA in his trachea). Dad passed away October 27, 2020 with his grieving wife (my Mom) at his side. Postmortem test showed NO COVID present. How did this happen? CERTUS corporate chose to save $10/ hour and use a young inexperienced LPN (Amy Kimbal) as wellness director (WD), **instead of a more qualified geriatric RN. The WD completely misdiagnosed my Dad, neglected hydration and fumbled medicine administration to treat a UTI she knew he had. The WD went on to misrepresent my Dads condition to the facility MD, Dr David Heise (1740353465) Family Practice on the Go of FL who made the mistake of listening to an inexperienced LPN and did not conduct due diligence in caring for my Dad by prescribing timely antibiotics. The WD was further negligent by not following up on a late urinalysis (US) and subsequent culture and susceptibility (CS) report. On top of all this CERTUS corporate refused to hand over daily care notes on my Dad to our attorney that they admitted they had but since the state of FL doesn't require them legally, that had no incentive to turn them over. After charging near $6000/ month - yes - $6k per month -- this last item illustrates why the ALF / Memory Care system in FL (and other areas of the country) is broken and corrupt. Recommend you avoid the system entirely if you can. These last 8 months have been a nightmare for my family because of the blatant incompetence and intentional obfuscation by this horrific company. If I could give it negative stars I would."
