My mother stayed at The Regency House. It was a great independent community environment. They had trips, bingo, board games, and different people coming in. They had a lot of activities. They had exercise, and the meals were very well planned. They don't cater to people with specific diets or meal plans, but as far as food preparation, delivery, and the staff, they're good. I had no problem. They had dining hall capability, and there were times, especially during the pandemic, when they brought the meals down to the residents' rooms and put them outside on a tray. They just had to come outside their door and get them. There's a laundry room, and they change the linen and towels weekly.

The tour to The Regency House went well. The staff seemed nice. I didn't get to meet a lot of the staff members. I pretty much just spoke with the sales manager or the manager on duty for the day, and we saw a few residents. They appeared to be happy, but we didn't speak with other staff members besides her.
It's clean, three levels. They do have an elevator for that particular property that is kind of like a small apartment style. It's nice. You do have to add on services, though. Everything is not all- inclusive, but you do have to add on care services. So they have like their base price for the rent, which does include utilities and your meals, your three meals a day, and your snacks. But they have a company on site that you have to contract through to get your bathing, or if you need assistance, dressing, and whatnot, those are add-on services.

I toured The Regency House for my father. It was good. The employees were nice, but the facilities were old and dated. The rooms were decent size, but the furniture and the whole place was dated. It needed updating. It severely looked really old, not run down, but it's old.
The place was clean, and everything was put together. I don't see anything that was broken or torn up. The staff were really nice, and they answered all of our questions. The dining area is cafeteria style, and it was clean. They gave us a pamphlet with all the activities, and they showed us a list of activities.

I visited The Regency House with a friend. It seemed to be quite good. Of course they couldn't tell us anything that was wrong, but I came away with a favorable opinion of it. I guess you could say, a hard sale; the person who was there was a very good sales person. My friend asked a lot of probing questions, and the answers were satisfactory. They invited me to an event, and I'm going back there this afternoon to participate in an activity. It looked like a pretty good size.

The common areas at The Regency House were very warm. It seemed like the air conditioning was set very high. The place was just average. I saw a couple of people out, but there's nobody that I spoke to. The rooms didn't have full kitchens, but they were all the different ones we looked at. It had a weird layout. It was small, choppy, and they didn't offer balconies on all of them (maybe because it's a much older building).
The dining area was restaurant style. There was nothing special about it. They had a beauty salon too. The main activity rooms had a really nice kind of an outdoor covered sunroom, but it was just for storage stuff and things. They said that they are remodeling or doing whatever, but it looked like that stuff's been there for quite a while. It was dark and didn't have a lot of light in the buildings.
They had exercise scheduled, and I saw a poster that they were doing an outing. It's just that the living atmosphere was gloomy. It was clean, but it was not a happy place. I don't even know how they could change some of the buildings. The room layouts they showed were bad, but then again, that's just the building. Overall, it just needs a refresh and upgrades altogether.

I toured Regency House for my mother, and I love the way they do the upkeep on the property. Even though it was an older building, it looks very modern. The staff who accompanied me on the tour was very knowledgeable and friendly; I think her name is Michelle. They had a workout room, a computer lab, a physical therapist and a hair salon on site, and a cafeteria. I think she said they had a swimming pool, but I didn't see that.

We took a tour of the Regency House for my mother, and we are not impressed at all. The place was old, and the lady that we talked to there was temporary. She wasn't even a permanent, she was there temporarily, so there were a lot of questions she didn't answer for us. We didn't like that place at all. The building was old, and it needed a lot of work. The carpeting was old in the hallways, and it was rundown looking, that one was not impressive.

My father moved into The Regency House last March. The number-one reason I chose it for him is how close it is to the VA facilities, since he is a veteran. I also chose it because of the amenities that they offer and the fact that they have an apartment available, because these places are hard to come by sometimes. The food service is three meals a day, and he likes the different activities over there. I like the fact that there are laundry facilities on every floor, so he could continue to do his own laundry. He gets his hair done there, so he doesn't have to go far to get that done. The grounds are very nice, too, and they have outdoor activities, as well. The community as a whole is very welcoming.

I toured The Regency House and it was good. It was a good place, and it seemed like a real possibility. They had very nice people, seemed to have things well organized, but I still have to understand their care. It's a third party kind of thing, so I have to research that. The rooms were really big, with balconies, and access directly outside. They had a workout space, dining room, and kitchen that's separate from the kitchen in the rooms. The grounds around it were very nice, with views out the windows, and access directly outside, which was nice.

I went to visit The Regency House. The staff were very nice and very accommodating in showing me the facility. They were very good at sharing information. They showed me the dining areas. They also showed me some of the amenities where some of the residents see each other and talk, where they play cards and games, and where they exercise. They were very good in telling me those amenities that were available. The dining room was pretty much cafeteria-looking to me.

I am a resident of the Regency House Retirement Community for the last 6 years. I have enjoyed living at the community so very much. I have numerous friends who like to get together and play cards, chess, watch movies, exercise, or just socialize. The food at our community is wonderful. At every meal we get 4 choices to choose from and our chef is an amazing cook. I enjoy riding the bus to my doctor appointments at the VA and shopping. The community is located right down the road from the Atlanta VA. The staff is very friendly and goes out of their way to help each resident. I would recommend you visit this wonderful community for you or your loved one.

I am so pleased to call my mothers home the Regency House. Our experience was excellent. The community is very warming and caring. The residents were all very friendly and made my mom feel at home. The room we got is amazing with a beautiful covered patio. Right out side my moms room is beautiful gardens and a walking path. I was so pleased to see my mother so very happy. At the time of our visit the residents were doing exercise. The Regency House is an all exclusive community (everything is included). It makes me so happy to know mom has found a community that she enjoys.

I had a good experience at Regency House. I've been there before, and the room was adequate, and everything was fine. The dining area was nice, and it looked fine. I talked to one person, she was very friendly, very nice, and very outgoing. I think she also helped with physical therapy, and she showed me around. They'll take you to doctor's appointments, they have games, a beauty parlor, and you can get your hair done. However, I live 50 miles from there, but my daughters were down there, and that place used to be around for a long time. They need updating.

The Regency House was too expensive, but it was very clean and organized, and the rooms were suitable for what I would want for my parents. They explained everything to me, made recommendations, and followed up with me several times. The rooms were adequate in size. I like that they have a call button included. They had a salon and quite a few activities for the residents.

I visited Regency House, and it was nice, but it was not for me. The staff member was very helpful, she showed me the different services, the room, and the cafeteria. The dining room was very nice, everybody goes there to eat, but I want to cook for myself. Everything was good, and I would not have a problem living there if I needed somebody to provide services for me. They know the residents by name.

The Regency House was fantastic. It was too expensive for me, they showed me an apartment that I could move into, and it was quite adequate and very roomy. I had lunch there, and it was pretty good. I'm looking for a place that has adequate parking, and they have adequate parking. It's pretty well laid out, and the staff is very nice.

I did not like The Regency House. It was not bad; it just wasn't right for me. I came from living in a three-bedroom house for myself, so it felt too small and too cramped. It was clean and in a nice location, but it seemed to be crowded. The activities were pretty limited. I need a place where there's some good social life, and I didn't feel like I would get that at Regency. The facility was average.

The Regency House had wonderful food. We had a good time there. We toured an apartment, and it had a balcony that goes around from the living room to the bedroom, and it was wonderful. Everything was in the one building. They had a community room, a laundry room, a library, and a game room. It was more of a hotel-type of thing, and they had the outside and you can go outside, but it was not a community that you can walk in. But other than that, it was great. If it was bigger, and if they had a bit more grounds, I would love that.

The Regency House was very pleasant. I only saw one room, which was very good. I ate there several times and only had one terrible meal. The location was very good and very convenient with beautiful grounds. If you lived there and later on needed memory care, there is nobody to help you.

The Regency House is where my mother is going. She chose it, and she likes it. The staff is very informative, very helpful, and very nice to work with. The rooms look great. They have several different floor plans to choose from and several different sizes. The dining room is excellent. We have lunch there; the food is excellent, and they serve it like restaurant by giving you a menu with choices. Then, they will bring it to your table.

We’re actually living at The Regency House. It has helped my husband a great deal. We have the usual little things with the staff. Like some weeks, housekeeping doesn’t come, and it is usually because our housekeeper is sick, but I don’t understand why that keeps us from housekeeping. The food is OK. The place is pretty nice. It has been a very difficult adjustment for me, but it has really helped my husband a lot. We have only been here since December, but the management has changed 2 or 3 times. Most of our concerns are taken care of pretty quickly, but I don’t think any place could do any better.

The Regency was very nice and very clean. Even the dining room was clean. The food was good. I went into one of the one-bedroom apartments, and it was very small. It was a very large place that had a lot of activities and entertainment. When I went there, they had a musical show that was very nice.

We visited The Regency House before my sister passed away. The staff didn't know that my sister and I were coming to look at the property. Even though they had a temporary management team there, no one was available for the appointment. I was disappointed with their lack of management. The rooms and apartments seemed to be of good sizes, but they could use an update, especially with the paint and carpeting. The residents were eating lunch at the time we visited. I saw on the board that they had some outings and games, such as bingo and puzzles, planned for the residents.

We were very pleased with the amenities that were available at the Regency House. Ideal location, the rooms were nice, and the food was good. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law didn't qualify because she was not able to meet the cost. They provide exercise and entertainment facilities, transportation, food, room cleaning, and linen changing. It's a complete senior independent facility.

I like The Regency House a lot. It's clean and beautiful, and my mother likes it, so that's enough for me. I've eaten with her, and it was good. I saw they pass a big ball around, they do weights and bingo, and those were all that I saw. The people were nice -- the waiters, housekeepers, everything.

The Regency House staff is cool. They have a separate health entity. Even if you lived there and you needed health coverage, you have to go to a separate company that is housed in that facility there. They have a nice spot -- a nice TV room with books and stuff. There is a lobby area with a fireplace. They seem to have activities almost daily. It looked nice, and the people seem to be nice. The food was good, and the dining facility is nice. They kind of did it like a restaurant style. The people are dressed like waiters and waitresses, and they come and offer one of three entrees.

I liked The Regency House a lot, but the disadvantage was it has a lot of independent-living, and assisted-living was not available there. You had to contract with some agency outside their facility. It seemed older, but I like the larger rooms. It had a garden outside. One of their apartments I looked at had a balcony which I like because I like to look at the birds.
The food was fine; you had some choices. The staff seemed fine to me. What stood out to me was the lively conversation that was going on in the dining room. There were a lot of elderly people there, but they were active. They had established a newsletter that goes out every week and they did it themselves. They had all kinds of activities. They thought to involve the clients.

We had a good visit at The Regency House. The facility was clean. The director was very nice, very knowledgeable and seemed to know a lot about elderly care, dementia patients in particular. They invited us for lunch, and we had lunch there. They were having a Hawaiian luau and they decorated the place in a Polynesian theme. They served chicken with pineapple and they also had different choices in the menu. I was surprised because the residents weren't just served with one thing, they could choose from a couple of different items. The food was presented well and it was very tasty. We participated in one of their social activities where they had someone singing oldies songs. The place seemed very alive, and there were a lot of social activities going on. The residents seemed to be happy.

I went to The Regency House for a visit, and the place was nice, but it's just not for me. The staff were great. They were very polite, informative, and very pleasant. I couldn't ask for more. Their apartments were clean and well lit. It had a fairly good amount of sunlight. It is going to be repainted before the next occupant goes in. It was all in good condition, and I couldn't think of anything negative about it.

The personnel at The Regency House seemed to be concerned about the situation that my mother is in and they have all the right answers. They are very helpful, friendly and very attentive. The rooms are small but nice. They have everything she needs. I have several meals there and the food is good. They have activities for every person. They have bingo, arts and crafts, outings, aerobics, movie nights and so many other things. The facility is a little pricey. If the price is a little cheaper, that will help.

The Regency House was a mixed and active community with lots of people in there and that was the thing that I like about it. They have a whole list of activities for their residents. The facility is located in a suburban town, so all their needs are around the corner basically. They have beautiful landscaping there. Their rooms were larger, the staff was really courteous and the food was good. My aunt liked this one better than the other facility.

I was just giving a friend of mine a reference for The Regency House because I have visited this place last December. I liked that facility very much. The location was great. At the time of my visit there, they had decorated the place for the season and it was very beautiful. They had gardens all around for people to walk around. There was an opportunity for their residents to plant and they can have their own little garden there. It was good that they had that kind of activity. The staff was very nice and they were wonderful people. The Regency House was just an excellent place.
