4.4 · 16 reviewsI was disappointed after having a meeting with Julie and a tour of Kiva with the possibility of placing my brother there. I was told she would go and evaluate him which never took place and never a phone call back. Very unprofessional on her part and not a good reflection of what Kiva stands for.
Kiva of Mount Dora is an exceptional living facility. My mother lived there until her passing and I was impressed by the care and comfort they gave to my mother. Julie, the director, was very helpful in transitioning my mother to Kiva and the nurses, Arlene, Veronica and others were always there with a helping hand or kind words. The chefs, Larry and Paul were especially kind and caring in their concerns for what my mother enjoyed eating.

Kiva has been an amazing and wonderful home for my dad! My dad has been there almost a month and I could not be happier. Julie is phenomenal in the way she takes care of all her members. The whole staff is so loving and kind. My Dad was at a different home for almost a year and he never got care like this. At Kiva they pay attention to every detail and every need of all their members. Julie also keeps in touch with me with everything dad is going through, making sure he has everything he needs. My Dad loves it there and has told me he is so happy he is there. Kiva gives me such peace knowing…

My father lived at Kiva for 3 years and had a wonderful experience there until he passed away. He enjoyed the interaction with the other residents. The staff took excellent care of him from the beginning to end. They always honored his privacy and took care of his belongings. They notified the family of any problems or needs that he had. Thank you for a great job.
We can't say enough about the team at Kiva from admin, to the nursing staff, to the amazing chefs, everybody involved in caring for my mother was extremely thoughtful compassionate and sensitive to her every need. After visiting several care facilities we immediately recognized Kiva was where she needed to be. Even as her condition changed they were able to recognize what level of care she required. The house truly gives one a sense of home and you can feel the love. They offer various activities and celebrate the major holidays involving family and friends. Knowing mom felt at home gave us such peace of mind knowing she was receiving excellent care. We highly recommend Kiva of Mount Dora for that extra level of care that you know your loved one deserves.
I was truly amazed by the dedication and care that the staff provides for the residents especially [name removed], the Medication Technician and [name removed], the chef. Both of these individuals bend over backwards to ensure that the residents are safe and comfortable. They go above and beyond!

I have a family friend who stays at Kiva of Mount Dora who also has some memory issues. They have treated her with such patience when her memory issues cause problems, such as believing the whole place is her house in particular and she insists everyone start saving on the electric bill!!! We are fortunate to get pictures when we can't visit and most importantly, she is happy. I wish this facility was close enough for my own elderly mother to stay there...
