We appreciate our referral network, and here are four easy ways to refer a family to Renaissance Adult Day Care in Minnesota.
Call Coon Rapids at (763) 433-2980 or Eagan at (651) 452-0811, and tell us who you have in mind.
Email renadultdaycare@gmail.com with a first name and a phone number, once the family has said sharing them is fine.
Message us on Messenger through the Renaissance Facebook page.
Hand the family our online enrollment form. It is short and easy: a few questions, dropdowns for things you already know, no stress.
Who Sends Families to Renaissance, and Why It Matters
Most families never find adult day care by searching alone. Someone they trust says, "You should look at this place," and that one sentence changes the whole week.
That someone might wear a white coat or carry a county badge. It might be a neighbor from church, a woman who read the reviews, or a son whose father started coming last spring.
This page is for all of them. It sorts the people who send families our way into four plain groups: healthcare, senior housing, community, and personal, which means families and veterans.
You do not need to read every title below. Find yours, read the short note under it, and see why people in your seat so often point a family to Renaissance.
If you do not see your exact title, you almost surely know someone who does. Passing this page along counts as a referral too.
Some of you will recognize your title at once, and others will smile at a title you never knew existed. Either reaction is fine, since the point is simply to feel at home.
Professional referrals usually come one family at a time. A community referral often arrives in a small group: a friend, then a neighbor, then a cousin who heard the same good thing twice.
You may also be reading as the family itself, with your own mother or father in mind. Welcome, because everything above works for you just as it works for a professional.
Think about the last family you helped who said, "I just need someone to tell me what to do." Pages like this one exist so that your answer is easy to give and easy for them to follow.
Renaissance is a Minnesota DHS 245A-licensed adult day center with locations in Coon Rapids and Eagan. People 55 and older are welcome after an evaluation of health, abilities and needs.
Dementia and Alzheimer's care is our specialty, and the team works with it every day. Families usually begin with one or two days a week and add days as friendships grow.
That slow, flexible start is a big reason referrers feel comfortable sending someone. Nobody is asked to hand over a whole week on the first morning.
A referral does not bind anyone to anything. It simply opens a conversation, and the family decides at every turn what happens next.
If you wonder what to say, keep it short and say, "There is a place called Renaissance, so call them with your questions."
The Five Places Most Families Come From
Families find us by a handful of roads, and these are the five we see most. They are written for the person sending a family and for the family reading over that person's shoulder.
Google Reviews
Before most families call, they read. At night, with the house finally quiet, a daughter types the name of a place into her phone and scrolls through what other families wrote.
That is why Google reviews sit at the top of this page. At the time of writing, Renaissance shows a five-star rating on Google, from families who enrolled.
If you refer families, your best move is simple: send them to the reviews before the first call. A family that has read ten honest paragraphs from strangers walks in less afraid.
If you are the family, here is how to read them. Look for patterns instead of one glowing line, and sort by newest so you see how the place is doing now.
Read the middle reviews and the short ones, too. A specific sentence about an ordinary Tuesday teaches you more than a page of adjectives.
Notice what families write about the first weeks, the van, the meals, the staff, and how a hard day was handled. Those details tell you what to ask when you call.
No review replaces a visit. Use the reviews to decide your questions, then ask them on the phone or at the door.
If your parent or your client has spent time at Renaissance, a short, honest review helps the next caregiver more than you may guess.
You do not need beautiful writing. Say what the van pickup was like, what your mother did on a plain Wednesday, or what you did with your free afternoon.
Please leave out private medical details and other families' names. A review should help the next family without exposing yours.
Referrers can invite a family to share a review once they feel ready, never as a favor and never as a condition of anything.
We cannot choose which reviews appear, and we cannot change what they say. That is exactly why families trust them.
Some families read reviews in a waiting room, and others read them at two in the morning. Either way, the words of another daughter or son can make a frightening decision feel possible.
When you read, notice how a review describes the first day. Families who write about nervous beginnings and gentle welcomes are telling you what to expect.
If a review mentions a question you also have, write it down. The staff would much rather answer it before you enroll than after.
Read the Renaissance reviews on Google.
Neurologist
Few people in a family's story carry as much weight as the doctor who explains the brain. When that doctor says a kind word about daily life, families listen.
A neurologist often delivers the news with little time left in the visit. The family drives home with a folder, a follow-up date and one question: what do we do on Tuesday?
A day program does not replace the doctor and does not diagnose anyone. It gives the weeks between appointments a shape, with people, music, lunch and a van that comes to the house.
Memory loss is what the staff work with day in and day out. A nurse visits each month, and staff give medication reminders only.
One sentence in the exam room, "Look into adult day care," is often enough. The steps at the top of this page show the family how to follow it.
If you are the daughter or son sitting in that exam room, you can ask the doctor about adult day care, or call us yourself that same afternoon.
We will explain the evaluation of health, abilities and needs, and why most families start small, with a day or two each week.
Caseworker
Caseworkers are the quiet engine behind many Minnesota families. They keep the files moving, and they remember what each household still needs.
A caseworker carries a long list of families and very little time to explain every option twice. The people you meet are tired, and they often arrive with more forms than answers.
Renaissance helps families navigate their payment options: Private Pay, VA benefits, CADI, the Elderly Waiver, BI, AC, long-term care insurance, and Medicare through Tembo Health.
Eligibility for any program stays with the county, and we never say a family will qualify. What we can do is answer the phone and talk the family through how the day works.
If a caseworker is helping your family right now, you can say, "Please ask about Renaissance." Or call us together, with the caseworker on the line.
The FAQ page on our website lists the payment options in plain words, so a family can read them again at home.
Referring takes a few minutes: a call, an email, a Messenger note or a link to the enrollment form.
Other Current Clients, and Open or Closed Locations
Some of our best referrals come from people who are already here. A daughter talks to another daughter in the parking lot, and a week later the phone rings.
Stays of a year and a half or two years are not unusual. Over that time families meet each other at the holiday party, at the door and on the phone.
They share the small things: how the first morning went, which day suits a hard week, what to say when Dad wants to stay home.
The same thing happens with families who come from other centers, open or closed. When a center changes or shuts its doors, people look for somewhere familiar, and they often bring a friend.
Families who come to us this way arrive already comfortable, because a friend has described the building, the van and the people. That head start makes the first morning easier for everyone.
If you are a current Renaissance family, thank you. The contact options at the top are for you, too, and a friend can start with just a day or two.
If you came from a center that closed, you know how a good routine can vanish overnight. You also know what to look for in the next one.
A referral from you carries a kind of trust no brochure can match, because you have watched an ordinary afternoon with your own eyes.
The Gathering at Lyngblomsten
The Gathering is a group respite program run by Lyngblomsten for adults with early to mid-stage memory loss. It meets for four hours, from ten in the morning until two in the afternoon.
According to Lyngblomsten's own page, it meets at Como Park on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, and at Lino Lakes on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. Lyngblomsten staff meet with the family first.
Renaissance is not affiliated with Lyngblomsten, and we are glad the program exists. Some families come to us from The Gathering, once they are ready for something that fills a longer day.
The program is a gift for families at the start of their journey, and many are grateful for it.
Here is the difference many caregivers notice. Our owner's information is that if a loved one wanders or needs help with toileting, the caregiver may need to stay for the whole session.
In that case the person with memory loss is cared for, but the caregiver may not get the hours back. A four-hour break is only a break if you are free to leave.
Renaissance is built so that families can use the day for themselves. The van picks up at the house within 10 miles, and the day includes breakfast, lunch and activities.
A caregiver who finally runs an errand, or just sits in a quiet kitchen, is not being selfish. That is the whole point of respite.
If you are the family, try both. The Gathering may be a gentle first step, and Renaissance may be the next one.
Care Managers, Social Workers and Navigators Who Guide Families
These are the people families call when they do not know who to call. They sit in hospitals, counties, agencies and living rooms, helping a worried family find the next door.
If your title is below, you probably already know why a day program matters. Here is what we hope you hear in it.
Families rarely choose a day program alone. They choose it after a navigator says, "Let me tell you about something that might help," and you are often the one saying it.
CMC Care Manager Certified
You build a plan around one person's whole life, from doctor visits to dinner. Between your check-ins, that person needs somewhere safe to be and something to do.
Renaissance fills the weekday hours with company, lunch and activities, so your plan gets a daytime anchor. We are glad to talk through how the days could fit your client's routine.
C-ASWCM Certified Advanced Social Work Case Manager
You bring a social worker's heart and a case manager's eye for detail, and families lean on you to untangle the paperwork.
When a client needs supervised daytime hours, our evaluation of health, abilities and needs gives you something concrete to review. We also help the family sort through payment options.
Geriatric Care Manager / Aging Life Care Expert
You know a family's story better than anyone at the table, including the part nobody says out loud. You are always hunting for the one piece that lets a parent stay at home longer.
A day program can be that piece: a van to the house, breakfast and lunch, and a full day of company.
Geriatric Care Navigator / Hospital Discharge Liaison
The discharge date arrives faster than the plan. You are on the phone at four in the afternoon, trying to find something workable for Monday morning.
Families leaving the hospital often need daytime help without a move. Call us, and we will explain the evaluation and what a first day could look like.
Hospital Case Manager
You meet families at their most overwhelmed, standing in a hallway with a folder and a pen.
Adult day care is a calm option to mention when the patient is going home, because the days stay structured while the family adjusts. Memory loss is the work we do every day, and the team will answer your questions.
Transitional Care Nurse
You follow patients from the hospital back to the dining room, checking whether the plan holds.
When the plan has a gap on weekday afternoons, a day program can close it. Our staff offer medication reminders only, and a nurse stops by monthly, so you know what to expect.
Emergency Department Social Worker
You meet people on the worst night of the month, often with a parent who fell or wandered. You cannot fix tomorrow, but you can leave the family a name and a number.
A short call to Renaissance can start the conversation about daytime care when the crisis has settled.
Long-Term Care Ombudsman
You speak up for people living in long-term care, and you hear what families wish they had known sooner.
Some families are still choosing between staying home and moving. Adult day care keeps a parent in their own bed at night while the day brings company, and you can mention it as one more option.
AAA Counselor Area Agency on Aging
You answer the questions that begin with, "I don't even know what to ask." Your phone is the first stop for many Minnesota families.
When a caller needs a daytime program, you can place Renaissance beside the other choices in your area. We answer plainly and help families work through payment options.
Minnesota Senior LinkAge Line Counselor
You are the patient voice on the line, and many of your callers are adult children with a long day behind them.
We welcome referrals by phone, email or Messenger. Our two locations are Coon Rapids and Eagan, and the van reaches homes within 10 miles of the center.
Adult Protective Services Caseworker
Your work asks you to look at hard situations clearly. Sometimes a person at home needs more supervision during the day than the family can safely give.
A structured day with meals, activities and people who watch closely can be one part of a plan. Decisions belong to the family and the county, and we are glad to explain how our day works.
County Adult Services Intake Worker
You take the first call, and the first call sets the tone. You sort out who needs what, and you do it fast.
Keep our number handy for callers who need daytime company or relief for a tired caregiver. We can explain the evaluation and why families tend to begin with a day or two.
Patient Advocate / Healthcare Proxy Advisor
You make sure a person's wishes are heard, even when that person can no longer say them clearly.
A day program can protect those wishes with a familiar routine, music, meals and company instead of long, empty hours at home. We welcome your questions about how daily decisions are made at Renaissance.
Minnesota Department of Human Services Aging and Adult Services
Your office shapes the programs Minnesota families rely on, from waivers to long-term services.
Renaissance is licensed by Minnesota DHS under 245A, and we work within the rules that come with it. Families who ask you about adult day services can look us up and call us directly.
Real Estate and Housing Professionals Who See the Home Up Close
Agents and housing advisors often notice trouble before anyone else does. They stand in the kitchen, see the stairs, and hear the family say, "Mom can't be alone all day anymore."
A showing, a listing appointment or a walk-through can reveal how a household truly runs. If a spouse is quietly struggling, your kindness can matter more than the sale.
SRES® Seniors Real Estate Specialist
You help older owners decide whether to stay, sell or sell later. Often the question underneath is how a parent will spend the daytime hours.
A day program can make staying put workable for another season. Share our number when a client says the house is fine but the days are long.

CSHP® Certified Senior Housing Professional
You know the housing path from the single-family home to the assisted living apartment. Few people see how many families are stuck somewhere in the middle.
Adult day care helps a family wait for the right move instead of grabbing the first open room. It also gives a spouse a steady break.
ABR® Accredited Buyer's Representative
Your buyers are sometimes adult children shopping for a parent's next address. They arrive with a list and a lot of worry.
If the parent will live with them, the weekday hours become part of the plan. Mention Renaissance so the family knows a daytime place exists before the moving boxes arrive.
SRS® Seller Representative Specialist
Selling a lifelong home is an emotional job, and you manage the listing while the family manages the memories.
When the seller's spouse needs company during showings, a day program keeps them comfortable and out of the way. That small kindness often makes the whole sale smoother.
MRP® Military Relocation Professional
You help service members and veterans through moves that are rarely simple. Some of your clients are retired and now caring for a parent who served too.
Our van and our staff are a good fit for veteran families who need weekday support. Veterans benefits are one of the payment options we help families sort through.
Senior Living Referral Agent / Placement Specialist
You match families with communities, and you know that not every family is ready for a move. Some need a bridge first.
Adult day care is that bridge, letting a parent get used to a group, a routine and new faces while the family keeps every choice open.
Mortgage and Reverse Mortgage Specialists Who Hear About Money and Memory
When a homeowner discusses a loan, the conversation soon turns to what comes next. Lenders who ask a few kind questions often learn about the real need.
A loan officer often sits across from a couple at the exact moment they decide how to age. If one of them is forgetting, your question about daytime help is welcome.
CRMP® Certified Reverse Mortgage Professional
Your clients want to remain in their homes, and you help them tap the equity to do it. The next question is who keeps them safe at home on weekdays.
Daytime care helps a plan to age in place hold together. Please share Renaissance with a borrower whose spouse is the one needing supervision.
CLIPP® Certified Living In Place Professional
You think about doors, grab bars and lighting, and you also think about the daily rhythm of the household.
A house can be perfectly safe at midnight and still lonely at noon. A day program fills that gap, and it pairs well with the upgrades you recommend.
Senior Move and Downsizing Experts Who Meet Families in Hard Weeks
Moving crews and move managers walk into homes full of memories. They notice the person sitting in the corner, unsure what is going on.
The weeks around a move are the hardest on a person with memory loss. Familiar faces and a steady schedule protect them while everything else changes.
SMM-C Senior Move Manager Certified
Moving day can overwhelm someone with memory loss. You plan around that, and sometimes the best plan keeps them away from the noise.
Renaissance can offer a calm, familiar day while the boxes are packed. Ask the family if a day or two at our center would ease the week.
CSDS Certified Senior Downsizing Specialist
You help families sort a lifetime into a smaller space, and the sorting takes patience.
A parent who attends a day program has a structured morning while sorting goes on at home. The family can work without worrying about where Mom wandered off to.

You smooth the path between old home and new setting, and you know the first month is the hardest.
Our center can keep a familiar routine going through the transition. Families often tell us that regular days away from the move made life easier for everyone.
Certified Estate Sale Professional
You work in the quiet hours after a family has had to let go of belongings. Sometimes you meet a surviving spouse who now sits alone all day.
If that person has memory loss, or simply needs company, please mention us. A warm lunch and conversation can matter more than anything in the house.
Financial Planners and Retirement Advisors Who Plan Around Care
Advisors often hold the family's whole story on one page. When memory loss enters that story, the spreadsheet needs a line for daytime care.
Planning for care is easier when a family knows what options exist before a crisis. A short introduction from you can save them months of searching.
CSA Certified Senior Advisor
You are trained to serve older clients as whole people, and you know when a conversation about money is really about fear.

CRPC Chartered Retirement Planning Counselor
You help people near retirement look down the road ahead, and sometimes the road includes a parent who needs care.

Your clients are making choices about income, taxes and health in the same year, which is a lot for anyone.
Renaissance can lift one worry off the list: where a loved one is during the day. We explain the evaluation and the payment options plainly.
Long-Term Care Insurance Specialist
You know the policies, the waiting periods and the paperwork that claims require. Families often come to you after a diagnosis, hoping the policy will help.
We work with long-term care insurance as one of the payment options. Call us with questions, and we will help the family see how the days fit with the plan.
Insurance Broker Medicare Advantage focused
Your clients choose a plan each fall, and they depend on your advice for the whole year.
Medicare coverage is separate from adult day care, and we cannot tell a family what a plan will pay. We do help them sort their payment options and are glad to talk with you.
Long-Term Care Insurance and Funding Navigators Who Open the Door
Some of the most helpful people in Minnesota never meet the person who needs care. They answer the phone, explain the programs, and point the family forward.

HCBS Coordinator

Medicaid Waiver Assessor
You size up needs and match them to programs, often in a single hour at a family's dining room table.
When your visit shows a need for supervision and structure during the day, adult day care may come up. Renaissance can explain what the days involve, so the family can make an informed choice.

You help people enroll when deadlines are close and the forms are long.
After enrollment, families often ask what else could help. Our center is one answer, and we can explain the payment options without pressure.

Time in a supervised, friendly setting can reduce the isolation that scammers prey on. Please keep Renaissance in mind when a case involves a person alone all day.

Geriatrician / Geriatric Physician

You spend the extra minutes that older patients need, and families remember it.
When you hear that a parent is bored, restless or alone, daytime care is a natural next step. Our team welcomes your calls and your referrals.

Warmth, touch and joy matter to people with memory loss. Share Renaissance with the families you meet who want more of those moments in a week.
Home Health and In-Home Caregivers Who Work Beside the Family
Aides and nurses walk into homes every morning and see what the family sees. They also know when a caregiver is stretched too thin.
Many families begin with care at home and add a day program later. The two work well together, and we are glad to coordinate with the people already in the house.
Personal Care Assistant PCA
You help with bathing, dressing and meals, and you often become part of the household.
A day at Renaissance gives your client company and gives you a predictable schedule. Please pass our number to the family.

You lead a team that visits homes, and you hear about gaps in care from your staff.
When a client needs more than a visit can give, a day program can add structure. We welcome your calls and your questions about our evaluation.
Certified Home Health Aide
You provide hands-on help that families remember for years.
If a client seems lonely between your visits, suggest a day program. We are happy to explain how a first day works.

You know your clients' routines, likes and fears, because you are there so often.
A new routine at Renaissance can complement what you do. Share our number with families who say the days feel too long.

Some older adults need a place where staff understand support and patience. Call us to discuss whether our center is a fit.

At Renaissance, staff offer medication reminders only. A nurse visits monthly, and we are glad to talk through the details with you.
Companion Caregiver
You provide company, conversation and a friendly face on slow afternoons.
Our center adds a group to that friendship. Some families use both, and we are happy to coordinate days with you.
Adult Day, Respite and Community Program Leaders Who Share Our Mission
You run programs that make weekdays better for older adults. We see you as neighbors in the work, never as competitors, because there are more families who need help than any one center can serve.
Healthy communities have many doors, and families should be able to find the right one quickly. Sharing referrals across programs makes that possible.
Adult Day Care Director / Administrator
You know what a good day looks like, and you know when a family needs a different fit. Sometimes that means a center with a different schedule, a different location or a memory care focus.
When your spaces are full or a family lives far away, please send them our way. We will treat them the way you would want them treated.
Respite Care Coordinator
You find breaks for caregivers who have not had one in months. You know that a few hours of freedom can change a whole household.
Renaissance offers regular weekday respite, starting with one or two days. The van, the meals and the activities make it simple for the family to say yes.
PACE Program Coordinator
You coordinate a full set of services for people who need a great deal of care, and you understand how adult day fits inside that.
Some families are not a match for your program but still need support. We are glad to talk about what Renaissance offers them.
Meals on Wheels Coordinator
Your volunteers knock on doors every day, and they see who opens them. Sometimes the person who answers is alone and fading.
A friendly lunch with others can be a bigger gift than the meal itself. Please share our number when a driver tells you someone needs company.
Activities Director / Life Enrichment Coordinator
You plan the songs, crafts and outings that give days a rhythm. You know that being busy is good for the spirit.
If a resident's family wants weekday activity in a different setting, or a neighbor needs a program, think of Renaissance. We love hearing what has worked in your community.
Senior Center Director
Your center is a bright spot for active older adults, and you notice when someone needs more support than a drop-in program can give.
When a regular begins to struggle with memory, our center can offer closer attention. We would be glad to speak with you and the family together.
Transportation Coordinator
You get people where they need to go, and you hear how much a ride means to someone who no longer drives.
Our van reaches homes near the center. Please pass this on to anyone who wants a reliable way to a friendly day.
Senior Living and Memory Care Leaders Who Know When a Bridge Helps
Directors of residential communities understand better than anyone how much a family worries. Many of them also see prospects who are not yet ready to move.
Moves come when families are ready, and good directors say so honestly. A day program lets them keep a good relationship with the family until the timing is right.
Assisted Living Director
You meet families who are considering a move and others who need more time. Both groups deserve respect.
For those who are not ready, adult day care provides structure and company at home. We are glad to hold the relationship until the family is ready to call you.
Memory Care Community Director
You care for residents with the highest needs, and you know that earlier support makes later care easier.
Families who start with a day program arrive better prepared, and the transition is gentler. Please feel free to call us with any questions.
Nursing Home Administrator
You run a complex organization that serves people at their most vulnerable.
Some people do not need a skilled nursing bed yet, and some families want to keep a parent home. We are a licensed option for those families, and we respect the work you do.
CCRC Advisor
You help older adults plan a move into a continuing care community years before they need it.
Families often benefit from a daytime option along the way. Renaissance can be part of the conversation for clients who stay at home for now.
Home Modification and Accessibility Professionals Who Make Homes Safer
Builders and therapists who adapt homes see how a family really lives. They also see what a house cannot do on its own.
You change the walls and floors, and we change the hours between. Together we help a parent stay in the home they love.
CAPS Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist
You widen doorways, add rails and make bathrooms safer. A safe home is wonderful, but a person still needs company during the day.
Please let your clients know that adult day care pairs well with your work. Call us and the family can ask anything.
Home Modification Contractor
You are in homes all week, and you listen as families describe their worries.
A kind word from you about adult day care might be the first time a family hears the idea. Share our number when a project involves a parent with memory loss.
OT CAPS Occupational Therapist home modification
You understand how a person moves and thinks inside a space, and you train families to use it.
A structured day at Renaissance supports the habits you teach. Call us to talk through how it might fit a client's schedule.
Technology and Remote Monitoring Professionals Who Watch Over From a Distance
Sensors, alerts and cameras help families feel connected. They cannot replace a warm face across the table.
A sensor can tell a family something happened, while a person can tell them how the day felt. Both kinds of care have a place.
Aging-in-Place Technology Consultant
You help families set up the tools that keep a parent safe at home. You also hear how many hours are still left unsupervised.
Technology works best alongside human company. Please mention Renaissance when a client wants both safety and social time.
Medical Alert / Remote Patient Monitoring Specialist
You know when the alarm rings and why, and you see patterns that families miss.
If a client is alone often and falls or wanders at the same time of day, daytime care could help. We welcome your calls.
Faith, Wellness and Community Supporters Who Offer Comfort
Congregations, counselors and chaplains hold families up during long seasons. Your steady presence matters long after the visit ends.
Families often turn to a congregation or counselor before they turn to an agency. Your word carries a special weight because it comes with love.
Faith Community Nurse / Parish Nurse
You care for the body and the spirit of your congregation, and you hear about illness before the doctor does.
Share Renaissance with the families who sit in your pews. We would be glad to answer their questions in person or by phone.
Chaplain hospital hospice or senior living
You sit with people in the quiet hours and listen to what they carry.
You see the caregivers too, and you know how tired they are. A day program can offer rest, and we would be glad to hear from you.
Caregiver Support Group Facilitator
You gather people who understand each other, and the room is often the first place they feel less alone.
Members regularly ask, "Where can I send Dad while I take care of myself?" We would welcome the chance to visit your group or answer their questions.
Grief Counselor / Bereavement Specialist
You help people carry loss, and you see the long grief that starts before a death.
When a family is grieving a parent who is still here, a day program can help. It offers connection for the parent and breathing room for the caregiver.
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist caregiver focused
You help couples and families stay close through the strain of caregiving.
A weekly day or two away can change how everyone feels at the dinner table. We are glad to be a resource for your clients.
End-of-Life Doula
You help people and families find meaning near the end, and you walk beside them with gentle care.
Some of your clients still enjoy company and activity at an earlier stage. Renaissance can offer that, and we are here to talk about when it fits.
Veterans and Military Senior Services Who Serve Those Who Served
Veterans have given a lot to the country, and their families have given a lot to them. We are honored to welcome veterans and the people who care for them.
Many of the men and women we serve carry stories from far away. A weekday among friendly faces can feel like belonging to a unit again.
Veterans Service Officer VSO
You help veterans find the benefits they have earned, and you know the paperwork can be long.
Our team helps families sort out VA benefits as one way to pay. Please tell us about any veteran who could use a friendly weekday place.

When a veteran needs daily company and a caregiver needs a rest, please think of Renaissance. Reach out, and we will gladly meet with you and the family.

You explain what is available and what steps come next, often to a husband or wife who is worn out.
Our staff can explain how a day with us works and how VA benefits may fit. Call us anytime, and we will gladly walk through it with you.
Caregiver Exhaustion Supporters Who Help the Helpers
The person who cares for a parent at home is often the one nobody checks on. Coaches, educators, psychologists and facilitators, whom you met in earlier sections, do that checking with kindness.
We also thank the people below, who focus on the caregiver's own recovery.
When the caregiver collapses, the whole plan collapses with them. Protecting the caregiver is protecting the person they love.
Lifespan Respite Grant Coordinator
You connect caregivers with funded breaks, and you hear how much a few hours can mean.
When a caregiver needs a place for the person they love, Renaissance can offer a safe, friendly day. Please share our contact options.
Caregiver Retreat Coordinator
You give caregivers a weekend or a day away, and they return tired in a better way.
A retreat is wonderful, and a steady weekly break helps even more. We welcome the chance to support families after the retreat ends.
Burnout Recovery Specialist
You help caregivers climb out of exhaustion and rebuild.
Recovery is easier when the parent is safe and cheerful for part of every week. Please tell families about the day program at Renaissance.
Minnesota Names We Respect, and Where We Stand
Minnesota has a remarkable circle of institutions that care for older adults. Families meet many of them along the way, and some of those names are likely on your own list.
You may know Mayo Clinic, M Health Fairview, Allina Health, HealthPartners Senior Care and Essentia Health. You may also know the University of Minnesota Memory Keepers Medical Discovery Team and the Alzheimer's Association Minnesota-North Dakota Chapter.
Public agencies do important work as well. They include the Minnesota Department of Health with its Dementia Capable Minnesota Initiative, the Minnesota Board on Aging, and the regional Area Agencies on Aging.
Dementia Friends Minnesota and the Minnesota Gerontological Society help the whole state learn.
Senior living organizations such as Ebenezer Senior Living and Presbyterian Homes and Services serve many families across the state.
These organizations are part of the landscape every family walks through, from the first appointment to the last form. Knowing their names helps a family feel less lost.
We name them because families already trust them, and because they set a high bar for care. We are not affiliated with any of them, and none of them endorses or recommends Renaissance.
Renaissance is an independent adult day care center, licensed by Minnesota DHS under 245A. Our job is to be a warm, well-run day for the people who attend and a real break for the people who love them.
Thank You for Thinking of Us
If you read this far, you are probably someone who cares about older adults more than your job requires. That quality is what families remember.
Our staff do not take that trust lightly. They greet each person by name, learn the small preferences, and keep an eye out for the quiet moments that need a kind word.
A referral is not a favor to us. It is a small act of kindness to a family that has been awake since five o'clock and still does not know what to do on Tuesday.
You can use the four easy ways at the top as often as you like, one family at a time or in a group. Whether you call, email, send a Messenger note or hand over the enrollment form, we will answer with care.
Every title on this page stands for a real person who gets up early, answers a hard question gently, and goes home thinking about someone else's mother. We see that work, and we respect it.
If you are the family, thank you for trusting us with your parent. Starting with a day or two is perfectly fine, and we will move at the pace that suits you both.
To everyone who has already sent someone our way, thank you. Because of you, a mother is laughing over lunch this week, and a daughter is sitting in a quiet kitchen with a cup of coffee she actually finished.
