Renaissance Center

Ddink

They are very unreliable. You call up there they send your call anywhere and never come back to help you. When my relative passed all her stuff came up missing. Had to wait a month to get death certificate signed, after calling several times and the local coroner. I know only a few take Medicaid plz stay away if possible just a headache

Renaissance Center is absolutely horrible. The only reason it got 1 star is because this website requires me to rate, otherwise it would have gotten none! My grandma came to to this facility for rehabilitation after being in the hospital. The building smells of mildew and urine and desperately needs to be cleaned!! My grandma spent a week there before she went back to the hospital for chest pain. The staff did not even want to call an ambulance to have her brought back to the hospital, they were more concerned with clipping her fingernails than they were her actual health!! There are issues of neglect as they allow patients to lay in their own urine and fecal matter for hours at a time. I asked on 4 different occasions to get assistance getting my grandma to the restroom and was told no or argued with by staff. one nurse told my grandma to go to the bathroom in her diaper in her bed!!! They only have 2 nurses per 28 patients per hallway per shift! Very understaffed especially for having a lot of special needs patients! Patients are also roaming the halls unsupervised and the nurses don't seem to care or cannot be found! I would not recommend having your loved one go to this facility, no one should be treated the way this place treats their patients!! This facility should be investigated and shut down!!!

My mother was at this nursing home for almost a month before she passed away. It was close to where I live. I think they've done a good job.

A limitation is there are only three nursing homes in the whole county"”and this is the second best. This facility has 148 beds, divided into wards"”with four people to a room, shared baths, and only a curtain for privacy. There is the drawback of being very close to an airport, which can sometimes be noisy. Each hallway is outfitted with plastic vinyl furniture for residents to sit in, which soils easily and retains odors, so the place does have odors at times. The lunchroom looks like a school cafeteria, but there is a jukebox there, which some residents seem to enjoy. The activities here are limited to basic bingo and arts and crafts. There is nothing to do outside but gather in a tiny smoking area. There is also standard fare food, with few choices. Residents are made to eat in their rooms rather than a common area. The staff cares about the residents. There is a social worker and an RN on staff, and two LPNs. Each CNA has six residents to care for, which is a very good ratio. But one big concern is there's too much drama going on between the staff members; every one wants to get into one another's business. There is gossiping and talking on the phone, and sometimes residents are ignored. There is memory care, and residents are given bracelets that close the doors when they try to get out for security. None of the residents are isolated. There is a resident medical doctor just across the road and the facility is also located right near the hospital. This facility changed hands about three years ago"”and now it has more of a for-profit bent"”although Medicaid will cover all costs for most residents. Otherwise, care is expensive: about $3,000 a month. This is not a bad place, but there has been a problem with how the staff relate to residents at some times; they seem to ignore their training, either because they are burned out or just a bit lazy.

This facility, which is assisted living without dedicated memory care, is operated by Sunbridge, which is a chain. It is clean and nice and free of smells inside, but located close to the county airport, which can be noisy. The 34 private rooms, which include kitchenettes, range in size from 200 to 600 square feet. The prices, depending on level of care required, start at around $2,000 a month"”and go up, depending on size of the unit and care received. As for meals, there is not much choice; residents are generally limited to what the nursing home next door offers. A few other downfalls: There is not much for residents to do outside, no walking paths or good area for sitting and getting fresh air. The activities are also minimal. The staff members will help with meds, and will also constantly monitor residents to see whether they need more care. Sometimes, though, they allow residents to stay a bit too long"”and they may then become fall risks. And there is also only three caregivers for 30-some people, which is not enough if the residents start to need more care.
