Renaissance Assisted Living in Stanardsville offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, each backed by a medical support structure designed for day-to-day health management and rapid response to changes in condition. Licensed nurses oversee 24-hour caregivers, administer medications, and coordinate with physicians, pharmacies, and outside therapists. Residents receive scheduled wellness checks, chronic disease monitoring, and access to on-site lab and diagnostic services arranged through local providers. The Memory Care program adds secure perimeters, behavior management protocols, and evidence-based cognitive therapies to address Alzheimer’s and other dementias, while still giving residents access to the same on-call nursing and rehabilitation resources used by the Assisted Living wing.
Beyond clinical services, the community assists with bathing, dressing, and mobility, and provides an emergency call system that links residents directly to staff at any hour. A rehabilitation room hosts physical, occupational, and speech therapy sessions, and transportation is arranged for off-site medical appointments. Daily activity schedules include brain fitness exercises, escorted walks, and small-group socials designed to maintain strength and reduce isolation. Family members receive regular status updates and care plan reviews, and support groups are offered for those navigating the challenges of dementia caregiving. Pets are allowed. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Accommodations range from private studios to companion suites, each equipped with individual climate controls, basic cable, and an en-suite or nearby shared bathroom outfitted with grab bars and walk-in showers. Emergency pull cords are installed in sleeping and bathing areas, and weekly housekeeping and linen service are standard. Select units add kitchenettes, patio access, or extra closet space, but not all accommodations have all the features, so prospective residents should verify specifics during a tour.
Residents receive three meals daily in the main dining room, with menus planned by a registered dietitian to meet regular, diabetic, low-sodium, and mechanically altered diet requirements. Meals are table-served with staff assistance available for those who need help cutting food or maintaining focus, and adaptive utensils can be provided for memory care residents. Between-meal snacks and hydration stations are always accessible, and families can reserve a private dining area for special occasions.
