Your Dialysis Team at Renaissance:

- Patient Care Technician

“ It’s really exciting to have a dialysis unit at Renaissance. It aligns with our principle of bringing care to the patient instead of having the patient shift between different systems of care, and it’s a much more patient-centric model. The team that oversees the dialysis unit is an experienced team that manages dialysis in long-term care settings, which is different than managing dialysis in an outpatient or hospital setting. Our patients are unique and have different needs, and our team is familiar with them. ”

Skilled Nursing
Warm and Nurturing Care
At Renaissance Healthcare & Rehabilitation Center, we provide compassionate 24-hour skilled nursing care under the supervision of our Medical Director and team of attending Physicians and Nurse Practitioners. We have fostered close relationships with an array of Specialists, and many Board Certified Physicians conduct weekly rounds.
Individuals with complex medical needs are treated with dignity and respect in our nurturing, long-term care environment. We ensure that each resident’s family and personal doctor are included in their ongoing treatment and progress. Loved ones are welcome to visit at all times.
Respite Care is available for those requiring nursing care for a short period while their caregiver is away or in need of a break.
" We have a great team that is always available to help. All hands are always on deck. So it's always nice for the patient to know that they're always in safe hands because there are so many going to help at all times. For a long term patient for us to give them physical therapy, it helps them get out of their room. It's a way to socialize. It's a way to get them moving in a very safe environment with professionals in the room for a short term resident. It's really important that they get therapy to make sure that you know, they're able to do every single thing that they were doing before they got to this facility. So we simulate that as best as we can to ensure that they are safe when they go home."
