Renaissance Gardens at Cedar Crest
People often ask about the services we offer at Renaissance Gardens at Cedar Crest. Here are some of the most common questions about Long-Term Nursing Care, which is extended treatment for conditions that may be chronic or subject to sudden change, and is supervised by medical personnel, including 24-hour on-duty licensed nurses.
Q. I’ve heard that if I’m not a resident at Cedar Crest, I can’t move to Renaissance Gardens. Is that true?
A. No. We welcome people from Cedar Crest and from the surrounding area.
Q. What if my husband needs a doctor during his Long-Term Nursing Care? Do we have to travel off-site?
A. In addition to our full-time on-site nurse practitioners, nurses aides, and our 24-hour on-duty licensed nurses, we have Erickson HealthSM primary care physicians, a 24-hour on-call physician, and consulting specialists. So your husband can get all the expert care he needs without facing the challenges of traveling.
Q. I would love to be able to have a private room, but how can I afford it?
A. At Renaissance Gardens at Cedar Crest, all rooms are private and all are billed at rates other providers charge for semi-private rooms. And visitors are welcome at all times, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Q. What happens if my mother’s health improves? Does she stay in Long- Term Nursing Care?
A. If our doctors feel that your mother’s health has improved sufficiently, she can certainly move to one of our Assisted Living residences in Renaissance Gardens, or even to an apartment in one of our independent living neighborhoods (pending availability).
