The Renaissance of Florence

The Renaissance of Florence sits at 3275 Co Rd 47 in Florence, Alabama, and has been recognized with the U.S. News Best Assisted Living Award in both 2022 and 2023, which is something folks talk about, and it's got a single-story setup that makes moving around easier, especially for wheelchairs and walkers, with 69 senior living apartments that include studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom options-each with kitchenettes or full kitchens that have roll-under counters, plus individual air conditioning, basic cable, accessible restrooms, and enough space so residents can bring their own furniture or heirlooms to make it feel homelike. This community offers assisted living, independent living, and respite care, with personalized support from a caring staff that helps with dressing, bathing, dining, medication management, and healthcare monitoring, plus there's always licensed practical nurses available around the clock, and residents get regular check-ins and support with ambulation or walking if needed, so families get some peace of mind about daily routines and health safety. Pets are allowed in the community, which helps folks feel at home, and you'll find several inviting shared spaces like sunrooms with colorful seats, enclosed porches, a private courtyard and garden, activity rooms, a recreation and activity center, and a library that can be a nice spot to relax in the afternoon, and those award-winning gardens are used for strolls or just sitting out when the weather's nice. The Renaissance runs a full schedule of events and social activities-from bingo and happy hour to fitness classes, arts and culture programs, outings with transportation provided, and even a Christmas celebration that's popular with residents and staff, all aiming to help folks stay active, make friends, and encourage a sense of community. Meals are chef-prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients, served in a restaurant-style dining room, and menus change with the seasons to keep things interesting, plus housekeeping and laundry services are handled by staff so residents can focus on things they enjoy. There's also on-site rehabilitation services, a salon, wellness programs, paved walking paths for exercise, and spaces like lobbies and living rooms that people can use to gather and visit, and if care needs change over time, Renaissance has resources and staff who can adjust care plans and give guidance on long-term care or insurance, to help keep things steady for both residents and their families. The apartments are pet-friendly and made for comfort with modern fixtures, individually controlled A/C, and features designed for seniors' needs, so whether someone needs a little help or more hands-on support, the staff puts a focus on maintaining independence while making sure daily tasks get done, and people find the atmosphere to be both welcoming and down-to-earth, with a close-knit feeling between residents, staff, and family members, which shows up in the positive 4.7-star rating from reviews online.
