The Regency (Vintage Senior Living at The Regency) is beautiful, lovely, and delightful. The staff members that I have been in contact with are nice, knowledgeable people. The rooms are small, of course, when you've come from a big house, but they're very nice. I really like this place a lot. Everything is very nice and beautiful. They have lots of activities. There is something going on all the time. I was invited one night when they had Hawaiian night with Hawaiian food, Hawaiian music, and everybody was dressed in Hawaiian clothig. The food was very good too.

Vintage Senior Living at The Regency was very nice and well kept. We had dinner there, and it was excellent. They had the nicest dining room of any of the other places I went to. The units that we looked at were very nice but smaller than some of the other ones. They had amenities for a very good value. It was in a very nice location.

My mother has been a resident of The Regency for approximately ten years, through two changes of ownership. As with every facility, it's not perfect, but they make every effort for their residents. The dining room offers enormous flexibility -- you can basically get anything they have ingredients for, not just the listed menu items. There are numerous activities every day, including fitness, crafts, educational, movies and games. The Regency also offers good transportation options for residents without a car. Since Mom has been in the same apartment for ten years -- which is rather unusual -- there are some minor issues with maintenance that we have been addressing. Mom has made good friends among the residents and staff.

I put my husband in The Regency for a month for respite, and I was a little disappointed. They had wonderful food and a wonderful dining room. Everything looked great, but the bathroom was horrible. The rooms were beautiful, but they weren't kept clean, especially the bathroom.

A friend of mine chose The Regency. The rooms and staff are good. There are work areas and different activities always going on. The food seemed to be good, too, but could be improved.

My father is in The Regency, and it's beautiful. He's only been there for a couple of weeks. The residents are happy there, and I love it for him. Women were sitting in the lobby craftin beautiful necklaces and having the best time. They have so much going on there. They have Monday Night Football for the guys, bingo, dance, Pilates, people that come in and play music, and an entertainer at least once a week. They have professional swing dancers come in and dancing for the residents. There's so much to do there. My dad is not that mobile, but it's nice to know there are those opportunities for him if he wants to do something. The chef goes and eats lunch with the new residents and explains the menu to them and finds out what they like. They have a whole welcoming committee with people to take him around for the first week and try to engage him in different activities. It's very comparable cost-wise to the other places that I saw. I had only eaten there once with my dad. I had lasagna, my brother had tilapia, and my father had orange chicken. Those different choices were all in one meal, and they were good. My dad has been really enjoying the food. There's also a beautiful view of the Saddleback Mountains right on the patio. I would definitely recommend them, and I would live there.

The grounds are beautiful at the Regency. It’s located on a hillside. The hallways are 15 feet high, and they’ve got windows so it feels very bright. I think the staff is wonderful, they’re really a group that you can ask anyone a question, and none of them will say that’s not my job. They’ll take responsibility for the issue. The food is excellent, and my parents are very pleased with that. You can also eat at any time in the dining room. The rooms were pretty standard and clean with a small kitchenette.

The Regency is not as nice as the other facility I visited. I noticed that everybody was very busy. They weren't quite as personable since Laguna Woods is extremely busy. The rooms there are not quite as bright and clean looking. They may well be clean and very nice, but they don't appear to be quite as bright. Some of the buildings are older, and the paint is a little dark.

My husband and I are at The Regency for a couple of three years now and we are taken care of pretty well by the staff here. We are very grateful that they are doing everything for us. We have three meals a day and the food is excellent. The dining room is very good. We do have lots of activities and entertainment here.

My mom is in The Regency right now. It is owned by Vintage Senior Care, and on their website, they have a number of facilities in this area. I live in that same area and since I want her to live closer to me, we looked at a couple of them and settled on this one. This was just the best one among others. It's a really nice place. My mom is really happy there. The facility is very clean and well-kept. They have friendly staff and there are lots of activities going on. My mom really enjoys this place. Food is good. If you want to substitute anything, my mom said that's never a problem. She asked for extra or something to take up to her room and it was never a problem. She's really happy with it. They also serve their residents as much as they want. I also ate there a couple of times with my mom and food is very good. Overall, we have nothing but good experience with this facility. I would definitively recommend them to others.

We had a chance to visit the Vintage Senior Living at the Regency center awhile back when we were considering moving my grandparents to a new location. This place was absolutely stunning. It felt like you were in a five star hotel. The dining room in particular had amazing chandeliers and was very elegant, which was nice but for eating in on a regular basis may be a little bit stuffy. This facility also had a great outdoor pool, but that was not really a feature that we were overly interested in. One of the things that we did particularly like was how outgoing and fun the staff was. You don't get this in many assisted living facilities. Not only did they seem caring and nice, but they seemed as if they genuinely wanted to make sure that the residents had a good time. The absolute best part about this location though were the grounds. Everything was so well groomed and taken care of and absolutely lush and beautiful. It was one of our top choices.

We visited the Vintage Senior Living at The Regency assisted living facility while searching for a place for my cousin's mother to live in the area.
The outside area was very nicely maintained.The grounds outside offer easy access for residents, where they can enjoy walking around freely safely each day. We could see that there is also plenty of space to have cookouts, parties and picnics.
The foyer was fresh and bright with very nice decorations and furniture. All of the indoor rooms had plenty of fresh air and light. Each room was beautifully decorated and furnished. The colors throughout the building were soothing and comfortable.
Communal activity rooms were spacious, with comfortable furniture. The seniors can easily socialize, make crafts, play games, watch TV and films and participate in many stimulating activities. Residents can also tend the garden.
The facility can accommodate all levels of ambulation. The private rooms featured plenty of space in nicely decorated surroundings. All had a great deal of natural light and fresh air with very comfortable furniture.
Seniors can use the exercise room at any time and also go on daily walks. Aerobics and yoga classes are offerede. The residents go on trips to visit the many art galleries and museums, eat at casual and fine restaurants and enjoy the many cultural events offered.
The dining room was quite nice, with plenty of space. The food we saw looked and smelled delicious. The menus all had healthy food options for all kinds of diets. Healthy snacks are offered all day and into the evening, as well as whenever residents request them.
The residents here looked very content in their living environment and appeared very well cared for by kind and considerate staff.

I have visited my grandmother at this facility many times over the last 8 years. She lives an independent living area, in an apartment setting. It is a beautiful location, with the yards kept nicely mowed and many of the residence plan flowers or have the outside of their apartment decorated with hanging flower baskets. My grandmother, like many of the residence, enjoys a walk every evening, and chats with her neighbors. The facility also offers short trips to other cities for a few nights on occasion, and transportation for local shopping and errands. Although she doesn't participate too often, she has mentioned activities offered within the community for the residence, which is especially nice for the residence who don't have a car anymore, or whose mobility is limited. Residence can also be assured that the community is gated. Residence can request passes for family members, but if a visitor tries to enter without a guest pass, they must wait at the gate for the guards to call to the resident to approve the guest.

I went to see The Regency. It's very nice, it has a lot of good amenities, but one of the drawbacks, I think, is I can't find a room that has one bedroom, one-and-a-half baths, and a den. That is my ideal floor plan, and they don't seem to have that there. The overall visit was wonderful. I enjoyed the people I worked with over there; they're very warm, welcoming people. They're very cordial. I thought the idea of free television, including the premium channels like HBO, was unique. They had free parking, including one lot that was underneath the building itself. They offered me a storage bin; they have storage bins on every floor, and they offered me the use of two of them if I were to move in.

The Regency at Laguna Woods is perfect. The only thing they didn't have is 24/7 nurses, so if you say need diabetic shots on the weekend you have to bring your extra people in. Of the ones I've looked at, it's by far the best. It's kind of independent and assisted living, so you'll have residents who not all need assistance but some would be able to drive their cards and the assistance is personalized. Plus the community is designed better than others. It's a really good place, and their facilities are designed and built better. The library, kitchen and public rooms are fun and dramatic because it's all in one place. They have little patios that are nice if you get the ground floor.

The Regency's common areas were very nice, but a little overdone for my taste because they had cherubs on the ceiling in the entry. We had lunch, and the food was very good. The room was very spacious. Some of them had a fabulous view and are on really nice private grass areas. I just liked it in general.

I moved my mom into The Regency which is in Laguna Woods, and she has been there for two weeks. All of the staffs are very positive. It is either 180 people or 180 units in the building, so it is a good size. I looked at four or five different places that had four caregivers for day time use, and this place has 24, and as my mother has transference problems, that was very important. The rooms are much larger. She moved from a 650 square foot studio apartment in her last place, to a 700 square foot one-bedroom apartment. It feels like it is 300 feet bigger. She finds the food much better than any of the places she has lived in previously. She has been for the last 12 years in communities where she is at least eating one meal and now eating three meals a day. This is the fourth place she has been in, and she said the food is very good. I've eaten there several times, and the food is very good, very plentiful, and good selection. I hit it right on the dot. She is thrilled with her move which has changed her attitude considerably. As for activities, they have anything you could possibly want. They have I would say probably 15 activities a day. My mother is 95 years old, and she doesn't participate in most of them, but they do have bridge which she does like. She is taking a couple of classes which she has never done any place else. There is a beauty salon and a nail salon in the building, so she doesn't have to be lifted out. It is just a perfect solution for us.
