Full-time staff are dedicated to planning and organizing a wide variety of activities and events at Renaissance Gardens. Residents are exposed to new opportunities to grow, learn, and simply enjoy life. It's nothing like your typical nursing home.

Plus, when you or your loved one comes to Renaissance Gardens, you become a Riderwood resident. That means residents share in all of the on-campus amenities and programs, including the Fitness and Aquatics Centers, restaurants, and other activities.
