Rennes Health & Rehab Center in Appleton is a for-profit nursing facility offering skilled nursing, memory care, and help with daily activities, and with 88 beds, the building sits at 301 E. Florida Avenue, and it serves people needing short-term rehab, long-term care, respite care, and hospice support, so folks get what they need whether it's just for a while or they need a new home altogether. The rooms come private or semi-private, already furnished and set up with private bathrooms, walk-in showers, cable TV, WiFi, telephones, and kitchenettes, which means people can be comfortable and have the basics like they're used to at home, while air conditioning keeps the indoor air comfortable and there's always an emergency alert system in the rooms too. Outdoor spaces with paved walking paths, gazebos, and pretty gardens give folks a spot for fresh air, and inside, there are communal areas like fireplace lounges, activity and game rooms, a library, and even a spa room, and religious services happen on-site too for those who want them, so there's plenty of choices about what to do with downtime.
Meals are home-cooked, and residents eat together in a community dining room with different choices each day, and a professional chef cooks while staff make sure special diets for diabetes or allergies are looked after, so everyone finds something they like and needs. There's regular housekeeping and laundry, dry cleaning is available, and move-in coordination can help families get settled, plus beautician and barber services keep everyone looking tidy. The building runs a mix of activities each day, like music, arts, movie nights, and outings into the community, and there are fitness programs and a wellness room for those wanting to stay active, and transportation is there when folks have appointments or want to head to an event elsewhere.
Care is always available, with 24-hour nursing from a team of licensed staff, and care plans get adjusted to the person, whether it's medication help, bathing, dressing, transfers, or checking in on folks with memory issues, and they keep a strong focus on safety and respect. The facility offers advanced therapies, from physical to occupational to speech, both inpatient and outpatient, using modern equipment in dedicated therapy wings, and patients often get one-on-one treatment to get the best chance at recovery, with some specific therapies like Lymphedema Management, PWR! for Parkinson's, and LSVT LOUD® for voice therapy. Assessment and planning are handled carefully, and scores for things like the supportive environment and care planning are high, so families know records are kept in order and people get care that fits them.
With Medicare and Medicaid certification, families using those programs can use benefits here, and the Rennes Group has run these sites for over 25 years. Free admission transportation and help with discharge planning round out the support, and the community sits right next to Renaissance by Rennes Assisted Living for those wanting or needing to change levels of care later on. All in all, Rennes Health & Rehab Center tries to make the place as home-like and safe as possible, with trained staff around the clock, a range of services, comfortable rooms, and choices about what to do, and while it's still a busy nursing facility, the aim is steady care and keeping each person's comfort and dignity in mind.
