Q: How can I obtain Renaissance Gardens services for myself or my loved one?
A: To obtain Assisted Living2, Alzheimer’s Care, and Long-Term Nursing Care, you or your loved one moves into a Renaissance Gardens residence, typically for an extended period.
To obtain Respite Care1 and Short-Term Rehabilitation (physical, occupational, and speech-language therapies), you or your loved one stays in a Renaissance Gardens residence for a shorter period—as little as a weekend to several months in Short-Term Rehabilitation.
Back to TopQ: Who determines what Renaissance Gardens services will be provided for my loved one?
A: Our on-site team—nurse practitioners, nurses, social workers, and doctors (as needed)—will assess your loved one to determine the level of care that will most benefit him or her.
Back to TopQ: Who picks the actual residence?
A: Whenever possible, we allow your loved one to choose his or her residence. In Assisted Living2, your loved one can pick from available residences. In Short-Term Rehabilitation (physical, occupational, and speech-language therapies) or Long-Term Nursing Care, our health care staff will select one or more residences appropriate for your loved one’s physical, social, and health needs. If more than one of these residences is available, your loved one may select the specific one he or she desires.
Back to TopQ: What is the process for moving to Renaissance Gardens?
A: To move to Renaissance Gardens, your loved one must:
Make an initial $1,000 refundable deposit and pay a $150 nonrefundable processing fee to secure your place on the Priority List (a record of everyone who has made a deposit at Renaissance Gardens, organized by date of deposit)
- Complete health information papers (this requires a doctor’s visit)
- Complete a Residence and Care Agreement, other legal documents, and a New Resident Packet
- Provide the refundable entrance deposit at settlement
Q: What is the process for arranging Respite Care?1
A: To stay at Renaissance Gardens temporarily for Respite Care, you or your loved one must:
- Complete health information papers (this requires a doctor’s visit)
- Pre-pay in full the total cost (based on the daily Respite Care rate)
- Complete a Respite Agreement and a New Resident Packet
Q: Must a person first be a resident of an Erickson community to move to Renaissance Gardens?
A: No. Your loved one can move to Renaissance Gardens—either permanently or for limited stays for Respite Care1 and Short-Term Rehabilitation (physical, occupational, and speech-language therapies).
Back to TopQ: Is there an age requirement for Renaissance Gardens?
A: Yes. The government classifies Erickson communities, including Renaissance Gardens neighborhoods, as Continuing Care Retirement Communities. In all states except Maryland, each resident of a Continuing Care Retirement Community must be at least 62 years old; in Maryland, each resident must be at least 60 years old.
If your loved one is not yet age-eligible he or she may join the Priority List.
Q: May spouses live together in Renaissance Gardens if one spouse does not need care?
A: Spouses in this situation may live within the same Erickson community. Usually, one spouse lives in Renaissance Gardens, and the other in an independent living neighborhood. Separate residences allow the caregiving spouse to “be a spouse again” and leave the health care to the Renaissance Gardens staff.
