First I want to state that no retirement facility is as good as your own home; however, there comes a time when one can no longer live at home and one has to move to a facility that provides more service and assistance. The Regency Retirement Village in Huntsville, AL is excellent, and I highly recommend it. In 2005, my mother moved into an assisted living apartment and then transitioned to the skilled nursing facility. My father was at Regency for 9+ years; therefore, I am well qualified to provide a review.

The staff is excellent. It starts with a strong management team. They are extremely supportive and concerned about their residents. If you have a special request and it is doable, then it will be done. Next the staff is well trained and they approach their jobs with enthusiasm. If a mistake is made, corrective action is taken to insure that it will not happen again.

The facility was recently updated and looks good. More important, it is kept very clean. There a plenty of activities for the residents. The food is good and there are always several choices. Remember, it's not home cooking.

My father passed away in December 2014. If he or the rest family had not been very satisfied with
facilities or the staff, he would have left and gone somewhere else. Staying there for 9+ years is probably the best recommendation one can give.
