Upon realizing something was missing from long term care, two friends had a vision. This vision included creating a space
where long term care became better and different.

In recent months Certus Healthcare has grown to a total of 19 communities across the state of Ohio. Our mission is we are inspired to do better, push ourselves to become stronger, and strive to bring our best.

In the future Certus Healthcare plan to continue to grow and impact lives!
