The Regency at Glen Cove

We had a lot of trepidation about moving my husband's mom to Assisted Living as she was a very independent person for her entire life. After a fall that ended up in a fracture, we knew it was time that she be somewhere where she could get the help she needed while we worked. The Regency has turned out to be a very good place for her. She was fortunate to get one of the new rooms which is bright and cheery with a small refrigerator and kitchenette area and spacious bathroom. A beautifully decorated lounge with floor to ceiling windows and a gas fireplace and large screen tv are right outside her door as well as a sundeck that they can take advantage of in the warm weather. All of her meals are taken care of (a thing she has appreciated) and she thinks the food has been good overall. Being a city person, she feels far less isolated than she did when we moved her to an apartment close to us in the area on a quiet street. The residents themselves seem to be interesting people (e.g., former writers as well as veterans). They arrange frequent outings to the movies and local restaurants, and and offer daily exercise classes that even those with limited mobility can perform as well as hair and nail salon services. The Regency is also in a great location that makes it easy to go to dinner when we come visit. Both the residents and the staff ([Name removed] and [Name removed] are our go to people) are for the most part friendly and helpful when things come up. Like anywhere, you need to advocate for things when you see them and keep lines of communication open, but they are very responsive when requests are made or followups are needed. They have given us good referrals to doctors who specialize in the elderly. Overall, we would recommend the Regency to others who are afraid to take that step. It has been a relief to know she is being taken care of and also having the chance to be active and engaged.

Nice place currently in the process of a needed expansion/rehab. Felt very warm and inviting. Large rooms. Location very good as its in walking distance to many shops and restaurants.

Our mother was at the Regency for almost 2 years when we moved her closer to family. We have had trouble finding a place as good as the Regency at the new location. It is the people at the Regency that make all the difference-so caring, helpful...at all levels including staff in admin, the dining area, personal care, activities (of which there are many throughout the day, and maintenance). Even though our mother has memory issues, she was integrated into the general population which kept her much more stimulated, alert, and engaged. The rooms/apartments are of a very generous size and nicely maintained. Although our mother was not independent, the location was great as it is in the center of town and residents can easily walk to shops, restaurants, theaters, etc. which is great. It is the staff that make the difference in assisted living and I cannot praise the Regency staff enough.
