Regency House

When I arrived at Regency House, they had a desk to the right, and I asked for somebody to speak to, and their staff came while I was there. The facility had a flood, and it was under construction. They had moved half the residents to the other half. I don't know how they did that, but they had to move and shuffle people around. That's not their fault, but they're going to have to do something major to prevent it from flooding again. It was in our price range, so we were able to afford it, but there were no rooms available. So, we got on the waiting list, and they said it would be six months, probably before there would be any openings. The lady was nice. The people in the facility were a huge range of different types of people. They seem more dementia patients. I talked to a few of them while we were waiting. I would say that if that was my only choice, I might have put my dad there and his room would have been on the second floor, but I had another choice. The facility was clean, and it looked nice, but it wasn't upscale, like the other place I visited, which wouldn't matter to me, but it could matter to other people. People were in their rooms. The contractors were there making a lot of racket. They had a few people sitting in the dining room, and everybody else was in their room. The staff were very kind and very nice. I don't think it's a good idea to make a two-story house into an assisted living house. They put in the elevator, but I do think the stairs are a little dangerous for older people who don't have dementia and might use the stairs even if you tell them every day not to.

My mom has been in the Regency House for three weeks now, and they've definitely met my expectations. Their staff is very friendly and seems genuinely concerned with the residents. They interact with them. It's just a good environment. I think there's maybe a capacity of around 50 or so, and it's more of a family feel than a nursing home. What I like the most is the care that they provide and the location. It's convenient for me because it's located between my work and home. It's also a place that gives us the best care that she needs. The rooms are really nice too. They're almost like a little small apartment. She has a living space, and then a little small separate bedroom (which is all hers). It's private, so it's nice that you could bring all your own furniture and stuff from home. They have daily activities like trivia and bingo. They've been really good to work with. They've called me, kept me up to date on different things, and go above and beyond in what they could do.

About three months ago, I put mom in Regency House, and so far, the experience has been very good. I chose it because of its location and cost. They have a small exercise room. I haven't tried the food, but Mom always has positive comments. The staff is fine.
