Renaissance-Austin

My mother-​in-​law lives here at Renaissance independent senior living apartments (owned by Holiday Retirement Corp). She has lived here for about a year and has been very happy. They do have an assisted living wing as well, but she is in the independent wing.
The community is quite friendly and they always have activities planned for the residents. She has been so busy that it’s hard to find a good time to pop in for a visit! She’s either out at a show, playing bridge, on an excursion somewhere, or there’s a jazz group playing in the lounge.
The employees seem to genuinely enjoy their jobs and enjoy working with senior citizens. They seem to take a lot of pleasure in making sure the residents are happy and that their needs are being met. We always hear from Mom that the van driver goes out of his way to make sure she gets taken care of when he takes her to HEB, or to Walgreens, or to a doctor’s appointment. The young lady who cleans her room takes extra care to make sure everything is just right. The folks who prepare and serve the food in the dining room are also very friendly and welcoming. The food gets a big thumbs up as well.
Whenever we visit we find the facility to be clean and well tended. The grounds look nice as well. There’s a beautiful grove of oak trees in the central green area. There are also tons of very domesticated deer to enjoy around this part of town.
This is a very comfortable home for Mom and we’re so glad that she found a place that is so well suited to her. Of course, with any of these senior living complexes, you get out of it what you put in. If you don’t participate and put yourself out there to make new friends and enjoy what the facility has to offer, then you probably will just be crotchety about not living in your house anymore. (Mom says there are a handful of disgruntled sorts there who are angry about not being home.) For the most part though, the residents look quite happy to be there.
Mom really has had a new lease on life ever since moving in. I think she’ll be very happy here for many years to come. Thanks, Renaissance employees for taking such good care of her!
