CERTUS Premiere Memory Care Living – Dr. Phillips is considered a residential board and care facility that is a little over 43,000 square feet. Per the Florida Building Code (FBC), the facility is classified as an Institutional Group I-1 Condition 2 sprinklered building. That means the occupants reside on a 24-hour basis in a supervised environment and receive custodial care but require limited verbal or physical assistance while responding to an emergency situation to complete building evacuation
The facility consists of 64 residential rooms, 32 per wing. In addition, the facility offers a spa that has a therapy tub and therapy room along with secured areas to keep medications.
CERTUS Dr. Phillips is not classified as a Group I-2 which includes nursing homes; therefore it won’t really have other types of medical features. But it does have clinical staff available 24/7 to provide personalized care.
Cuhaci Peterson has been involved in the development for CERTUS on the Dr. Phillips site from design development through construction administration by taking their prototype and adapting it to the site conditions and other client modifications.
The project has taken a few years to complete, therefore, it has had several groups of people working on the project over the years, but much like other challenges faced at Cuhaci Peterson, we came together as a team and were able to resolve any issues that arose.
