Residence by Rennes - Assisted Living/Memory Care - De Pere sits in a quiet neighborhood with trees and sidewalks, and there's always a calm feeling even though it's close to shops, medical places, and major roads, making it easy for families to visit. The building has both assisted living and memory care for seniors, with 75 private apartments for assisted living and room for 26 in memory care, which means folks can choose where they feel most comfortable, and there's a studio layout if someone prefers a smaller space. The community is part of the Rennes Group network, with other senior care places nearby, like Rennes Health & Rehab and Renaissance by Rennes, which helps if someone needs skilled nursing or different therapies like physical, speech, or occupational therapy right next door without much fuss.
When someone moves in, staff help with the process to make sure the resident settles in smoothly, and there's a steady focus on letting folks keep as much of their independence and privacy as possible, while there are always trained helpers and nurses nearby day and night, especially for people with memory problems or increased confusion. The building stays safe, with features such as emergency call systems, sprinkler systems, secure spaces to prevent wandering, and handicap access throughout, which a lot of people find comforting. Apartments come furnished and have things like kitchenettes, cable TV, Wi-Fi, telephones, and big bathrooms, and everyone gets weekly housekeeping, laundry, linen changes, and maintenance, while some services also cover dry cleaning, if that's what's needed.
Residents can take part in a lot of daily programs and activities, including movie nights, arts and crafts, worship services, community-run events, educational classes, and trips out to keep busy minds happy and tired. The grounds have walking paths, courtyards, and gardens for fresh air, and inside, there's a library, a fitness room, a whirlpool spa, a barber and beauty salon, common rooms, a game room, and spots to sit and chat. Meals get served restaurant-style in a dining room, where chefs and nutritionists pay attention to dietary needs, so people with diabetes or allergies get what they need, and all-day dining gives everyone freedom to eat when they're hungry.
Staff help with everything from bathing, dressing, and grooming to moving around, medication management, and mental wellness programs. There's extra help for wound care, incontinence issues, walking, wheelchair use, and transfers, plus medical services like regular nurse checks, podiatry, and even wound and diabetic care. The memory care side offers a safe, secured area for folks with Alzheimer's and dementia, with activities meant to keep minds engaged and minimize confusion, along with 24-hour supervision and support from caregivers who know dementia well. Families can use private gathering rooms for visits, and the team does what they can to welcome short-term stays too, for respite care if someone's caregiver needs a break.
The place has washers and dryers available, transportation help for doctor visits or outings, and accepts long-term care insurance, which can be a relief for planning. Everything in the space is built to make life comfortable and as safe as possible for seniors, whether they're just needing a little help or they need full memory care every day, all under the umbrella of Rennes' bigger mission to give caring, tailored support to seniors in De Pere.
