Campbell County Health is pleased to announce that Renee Robidart has officially stepped into the Director of Nursing role at The Legacy Living and Rehabilitation Center. After serving as interim, Renee is now leading the nursing team in the position permanently.
Renee brings a strong foundation of experience to the role, with 11 years in nursing and nearly five years of combined service at The Legacy, including two years previously as Director of Nursing. Her background in home health and hospice, paired with years in long-term care, has shaped a leadership approach grounded in compassion, realism, and day-to-day support for frontline teams.
While the title may be new on paper, Renee shared that her focus has already been clear during her interim period: recruiting and retaining staff, strengthening team culture, and ensuring the facility is ready as admissions resume soon.
“I’m here for them,” Renee said, describing her commitment to supporting nurses and CNAs in one of healthcare’s most physically and emotionally demanding settings. “I want to know their pain points and what they need to feel supported.”
Renee also emphasizes the importance of staying adaptable in a constantly changing environment. Having led during very different periods in healthcare, she shared that what worked before may not always work now, and she is committed to listening, learning, and improving alongside her team.
For residents and families, Renee described a vision of care that goes beyond clinical needs. Because The Legacy is residents’ home, she shared that excellent long-term care includes not only safe, high-quality nursing care, but also companionship, comfort, and helping residents feel valued and loved every day.
Renee also emphasized what makes long-term care unique: residents aren’t at The Legacy for a brief stay, and the facility is not simply a place to receive medical treatment and leave. This is home, and excellent care looks different in a setting where staff support residents every day over time.
She shared that quality care includes meeting clinical needs, but it also means providing something equally important: companionship, comfort, and connection. For many residents, staff may be the people they see most often. And for some, they may be the primary source of daily interaction and emotional support.
Because of that, Renee said The Legacy team plays a key role in helping residents feel valued, loved, and still full of purpose, even during seasons of life when many people can feel overlooked.
As she steps into the role permanently, Renee credited the staff who make The Legacy what it is.
“They’re the ones who make the magic happen every day,” she said. “I’m just the one that can hopefully give them the tools to continue to do that.”
