Renaissance Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center

Renaissance Rehabilitation and Healthcare Center is a wonderful nursing home. My dad is currently there. It used to be called Trinity Nursing Facility but someone else bought it. It's better than the one my brother is in. Right at the moment, it's going through a renovation so everything is a little bit messed up. It is an older nursing facility. It's not this high-tech and fancy nursing home, like the ones that are going up. This one's been around for a long time. The staff is extremely caring. When I walk in there, they're always smiling. The place is always clean. I can call anytime, night or day, to check up on my dad. I feel very comfortable with him there. He mainly enjoys just talking to other people. He has dementia. When he first got there, they had what they called a wine-and-cheese social, and they got the residents there and had different activities. Daddy enjoys just walking around, he's in a wheelchair, and just visiting with everybody. They say he'll come up and tell them hi and they all greet him. He might say something out of the ordinary and they would just go along with him. They just kept him very, very comfortable so I'm pleased with it. I had thought about moving him to where my brother is, but at the same time, I just feel like he's a lot better where he is now. When I had to find a facility for my dad to go into, Christie helped me get Dad from a hospital in Dallas to their facility. She arranged everything and she set my mind at ease. It was the easiest transition from what I had been through the past month so I was very pleased. When I was there, the food smelled wonderful. I haven't eaten any of it but my dad says it's really good.
