Renaissance Care Home @ Neuse River Estates is a licensed Family Care Home in Raleigh, NC, nestled in a quiet new subdivision off Buffaloe Road, and it keeps things calm and comfortable for up to six seniors at a time, so you never get the feel of a big, busy place. The facility sits in a converted single-family house, freshly remodeled with four private bedrooms and one semi-private bedroom, each with simple comforts like beds made of 100% cotton sheets, and there's a strong focus on safety, with widened, 36-inch doors, fire sprinkler and alarm systems, and a whole-house natural gas generator to keep things running, even in an outage. Residents get three meals a day, prepared and approved by a dietitian, with snacks and options for specific diets like diabetes or food allergies, and a dedicated kitchen staff, including CNAs, makes sure meals are wholesome, high in fruits and vegetables, and tempting to eat. There's always help on hand, since the home keeps a 3-to-1 resident-to-caregiver ratio, and a registered nurse comes by every day and stays on call all the time-plus the administrator, a UNC Nursing School graduate with more than twenty years' experience, is on-site daily and active in care decisions.
Services cover housekeeping, laundry, dry cleaning, and move-in coordination, while newly remodeled rooms come furnished, and the whole home is wheelchair accessible, with features like a sit-to-stand helper for staying mobile and a Hoyer lift for those needing transfers when standing isn't possible. There's help with all the basics, including medication, dressing, bathing, meals, and transfers, as well as more advanced nursing care for those who need it in either private or semi-private rooms. Residents can get podiatry, wound care, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, with house-call doctors and monthly health checks arranged as needed.
The property feels like a family home, with a warm, caring atmosphere and activities planned every day-things like game nights, outings, crafts, movie nights, and wellness programs fill the schedule to keep social life lively and encourage new friendships among both staff and residents. There's a garden and walking paths, a dining room, a living room, wifi, game rooms, cable TV, a salon and barbershop, and even a fitness center, so everyone has space to relax or join in, and the ADA Van with two wheelchair spots lets residents go out safely for fun or errands. The home also supports residents with memory care, long-term care planning, insurance guidance, and caregiver tips aimed at helping families compare care options and understand the differences between assisted, independent, and nursing home care.
The facility keeps privacy a priority, answers questions confidentially, and recommends that families visit to see rooms-including studios, single and two-bedroom assisted living units, and semi-private or private nursing home rooms-because each offers its own pricing and features. The administrator and team work together to make sure care plans get updated often and always match each resident's health and comfort needs, and with the steady presence of caregivers and a long-standing philosophy of Compassionate Adaptable Respectful Care (CARC), the home helps seniors feel safe, supported, and like part of a family, which sometimes makes all the difference as people get older.
