The Renaissance at Coeur d'Alene

Reviewer RC#1118b

I love The Renaissance at Coeur d'Alene because it's just half a mile from our house. They were very friendly and very helpful too. They were very understanding. Everybody was very pleasant. It was more of a family type of situation than just a facility. There's cottages, and they each have their own dining area and stuff. I liked that.

I like that The Renaissance at Coeur d'Alene is cottage style. It's just a small group of people that share a common living room, dining room, and kitchen area, and it's fully staffed. The rooms were nice sized. It's a beautiful place. They have tons of activities every day of the week. I love it. The staff during the tour was great, friendly, well-informed, and very helpful. It's nice.

My mother has already moved to The Renaissance at Coeur d'Alene. It's really nice. They have food and she's getting 24-hour care right now. They have activities every morning, they also have a schedule. They provide three meals a day. I haven't eaten it, but it looks pretty good. They have good staff. It's pretty expensive, but it's pretty good.

My mom moved to The Renaissance. It’s been fabulous. The staff has been great, no complaints whatsoever. The place is new, her building is brand new, really beautiful, with very warm and inviting feeling. Her room is very nice. It’s smaller than what I would have hoped for, but I understand that’s pretty standard for memory care. She has Alzheimer’s, so I can see the benefit of a smaller room for her. She just needs assistance with meals and medication at this point. She still bathes and dresses herself. The dining area is also very nice and the food is fabulous. I ate dinner with mom and my brother ate lunch with her. It’s more of a family style where they will make something special for someone if there’s something on the menu they don’t like. Otherwise, they have a menu in advanced and like in a restaurant, they serve what’s on the menu. I thought it’s healthy, well-rounded meals, which I don’t think mom’s getting when she was living at home. That was one of the reasons why we moved her as we knew she would eat better. I’ve interacted with a lot of staff members over the course of months and they’ve all been fabulous.I took one of my daughters there last night and she said, ‘wow grandma moved to a castle’. On mom’s first day, and she was already involved in activities. They had a birthday party for someone, so that was great. In touring some other facilities, I think we got more for less money than I had expected, so I’m very pleased.

We chose the Renaissance, and we're waiting for a room. It's a very small facility, everybody was very kind, it's family-owned, and I really liked that. It's very clean and very well-kept, and it has small intimate spaces, rather than a large apartment or dorm type feel. The most important amenities were the bathing rooms, the showers, the spas, and the beauty salons. It was easy to get outside to a courtyard area; there were lots of outside spaces. They have small group activities, people were actually socializing, there were men playing chess, and there were some other folks watching TV in the living area.
