The Renaissance of Florence provides assisted living as its primary level of care, complemented by short-term respite stays for those recovering from illness or hospitalization. Residents who live with diabetes receive glucose monitoring and diet oversight, and a speech therapist is on staff to address swallowing disorders or communication challenges. Licensed nurses supervise daily health needs and coordinate with outside physicians as required.
Safety and continuous support are built into the community’s operations. An emergency call system links each apartment to trained personnel, the campus is secured, and a full sprinkler network is in place. Onsite clinical resources cover medication management, wound care, incontinence support, ambulatory assistance, physical and occupational therapy, podiatry, optometry, psychiatry, hospice and a pharmacy service. A home health aide team supplements scheduled care, and a wellness center tracks vitals and progress toward individual goals. Pet-focused programs and an enclosed courtyard allow residents with companion animals to participate in outdoor therapy while concierge staff help arrange appointments and transportation.
Apartments range from studios to two-bedroom units and may include flat-screen TVs, cable, Wi-Fi, washers and dryers, ground-floor access, wheelchair-accessible showers and air conditioning. Some residences are pet friendly, and cats are specifically permitted. Not every unit offers every feature, so prospective residents should confirm availability. Common areas include a fireside living room, central library, computer/media center, piano lounge, TV area, courtyard and garden, and several outdoor walking paths with uncovered parking nearby.
Dining services offer three daily meals prepared by the culinary team, with room service available when needed. Menus can accommodate vegetarian or kosher preferences, and lighter fare is served in the café-bistro. Residents can gather in the pub/sports bar during televised events or enjoy planned BBQs and patio picnics when weather permits. Snacks are stocked throughout the day at the snack shop.
Recreation and wellness programming encompasses clubs and community groups, daily exercise, stretching classes, yoga, Wii bowling, arts and crafts, a full fitness center, swimming pool access and health education sessions. An activity center, library and computer lounge, game room, theater and dedicated arts studio support year-round holiday parties, social events and off-site outings, while landscaped walking paths encourage informal activity between scheduled programs.
