Renaissance Assisted Living & The Harbor at Renaissance in Stanardsville, VA provides assisted-living services that cover help with bathing, dressing, medication reminders, and routine health monitoring. Staff members are trained in diabetes care, including blood glucose checks and insulin administration, and the community accepts respite or short-term stays for individuals who need temporary support while recovering from illness or when a caregiver is unavailable.
A visiting doctor sees residents on a scheduled basis and is available for urgent concerns, ensuring regular medical oversight without the need to leave the property. Licensed speech therapists work with residents who have swallowing or communication issues, often following a stroke or neurological change. The campus is a secured community, meaning exterior doors are monitored and access points are controlled to reduce wandering risks while still allowing family and friends to visit during posted hours.
Accommodations vary by floor plan, and not every apartment contains every feature, so families should confirm specifics during a tour. Depending on the selected unit, residents may keep a small pet, use wheelchair-accessible showers, stream media on WiFi, or watch cable or satellite TV. Most areas are air-conditioned, and common spaces include outdoor seating, a butterfly garden, a central fireplace, a piano or organ for music, and on-site parking for residents or guests.
The culinary team prepares three meals daily and offers an all-day dining option for those who prefer flexible mealtimes. Guest meals are available, and the kitchen can accommodate kosher, vegetarian, low-sodium, and no-sugar menus when requested in advance. Staff members assist residents who need help at the table to ensure adequate nutrition and hydration.
Residents have access to an activity center, library and computer lounge, and a swimming pool for low-impact exercise. The calendar routinely features clubs, karaoke, live music, happy hour, birthday parties, fitness classes, and social outings. Outdoor walking paths and raised garden beds encourage time outside, while reminiscence, sensory-based, and intergenerational programs provide mental stimulation and connection.
