Regency Rehabilitation Center

Regency Rehabilitation Center was a very nice and modern facility. It looked good and the tour went well. I liked that the residents with dementia and Alzheimer's were in a separate secured area for their own safety. The downside was the size because it had over 300 beds and that was too overwhelming for what I wanted. It was the farthest away too.

I think this is a good nursing home where residents receive above average care. You might not think this is the greatest place from the outside. It is a five story building that looks stodgy and institutional. But once inside I saw some happy residents. The facility is very clean. I didn't smell any bad odors on the floors. The CNAs are most impressive. The few who I spoke to seemed to know and care about the patients. One family member volunteered to tell me of the great care her brother was getting -- that he was kept clean and dry. More than a couple of residents told me that the food was "pretty good." A couple of years ago I believe the inside got a facelift and there is now an ice cream parlor that served, get this, free ice cream. There is also a candy store whose prices can't be beat. The most important thing of course is the staff and I think they are most impressive. There is also plenty of parking.
