St. Regis Retirement Center

St. Regis Retirement Center was really dark. There was a nice, large dining area. The owner was a doctor, so he was very familiar with my mom's medical condition. The room they showed me was a very nice size, but it was just too dark in the hallway. They had a nice welcoming visiting area or common area downstairs, but it's a little outdated. They're very accommodating. My mom is not able to walk and the staff helped her use the bathroom. They had full memory care as well. The facility looked clean and had workers cleaning the bathroom when I was there. They had board games and cards. The activities were geared more towards the residents who can take care of themselves and verbalize better than the ones who had dementia. There was a fireplace where they could do their meeting and reading.

I have visited the St. Regis community for five years now and feel like family. The staff all know your name and you feel they really care about you. One night I was there late and the Administrator brought me a turkey sandwich! The caregivers are compassionate and treat residents as if they were their own family. I would highly recommend St. Regis for your loved one…or yourself!

My uncle is at St. Regis. The staff seems fine. They’re very friendly and helpful with me. He is in a private room. It does have space for the bed, but it is just as big as full-sized bed, which is small to me. However, it is adequate to what my uncle needs. He is not doing activities yet, but they do have a lot scheduled every day. I tried eating there, but I thought the food was disgusting. My uncle does have a mini kitchen with microwave and a rice cooker, so he is pretty happy with it. My uncle is fine with the food. He goes down, eats the meal, and doesn’t complain. The dining area is fine. The care is what I like about them. They knew him right away. I also really like that I can call and find out how he is doing. If I can’t find him, they’ll find him for me.

I didn't like St. Regis that much. It was very old, and the price was very good, but just the whole atmosphere seemed kind of dreary and depressing to me. I think my sister felt that way, too, because it's an old facility, but they had really good prices. Still, she didn't want to consider it.
