Leading the industry in innovation and community leadership, our Appleton/Fox Cities assisted living facility was the first assisted living apartment community in the state of Wisconsin. Today, our assisted living facility has grown into a campus setting featuring assisted living, a skilled nursing home, and independent living condos located in an urban neighborhood with easy access to shopping and public transportation. The Renaissance Assisted Living facility vehicle is available to provide transportation on designated days of the week free-of-charge. Our 74-unit senior living community provides quality care in a secure, home-like setting with beautiful private apartments and amenities throughout the facility. Personalized service plans accommodate both needs and wishes, ranging from medication management and meal preparation to assistance with activities of daily living.
Renaissance Assisted Living is also adjacent to Rennes Health & Rehab Center, which offers both short- and long-term rehabilitative care, inpatient and outpatient therapy, and physical, occupational and speech therapies.

Our brother, Gary, was here for several years, up until he passed late last year. We would visit as often as we could, and were always impressed with the cleanliness of the facility, and the friendliness of the staff. They went out of their way to honor Gary as a veteran, and tried to make him feel special. We were so glad that we could be there with him just a couple days before he passed. Thanks, friends!

My father lived here for over 3 years and loved it! He received excellent care, made great friends and always raved about the food. The staff was very kind and seemed to genuinely enjoy my father's company.

Yes, we are still in a pandemic, yes this facility, like others, is understaffed; however, the lack of care here is saddening and quite frankly, not very safe for its residents. I hesitate to even blame the staff because it's clear they are overworked, probably underpaid, and not properly trained. Despite that, please do not send your love one here unless they have a significant sense of independence, or there is a serious increase in staff and staff training.

My wife's grandmother was here for a couple years and she was well taken care of. The entire staff showed such care and compassion towards her and all of the other residents. RN Administrator Nicole Riesterer was extremely professional and honored my wife's grandmother's wishes to the fullest!! I would highly recommend this facility to loved ones if the need should arise. Thanks again Renaissance for be a place she could call home!
