Regency at South Shore

There are two parts to this facility: one is for assisted living and one is more like a nursing home. I was told that many people transition from the assisted living area to the nursing home area as they age or if they become hurt or sick, but people rarely go back the other way. The assisted living area is very posh, well kept, and has a variety of activities. It looks kind of like a hotel. The nursing home side looks like a typical depressing nursing home. The staff seemed very kind, motivated, and helpful, and people also volunteer there. This is a very expensive facility, though, and will likely be out of reach for most people.

My grandmother had a stroke and after surgery in the hospital she did not have feeling in her left eye, arm, and leg. She then moved to south shore and is there because she can not be alone. I have visited her and the staff was very nice. They were quick to help and treat her very kindly. They have a nice outside area that we were able to take my grandmother outside on to get some fresh air. I will be back to visit her more and think that is a great place and that they are doing a good job there.
