Can I live at the Regency if I need assistance to help me with daily living tasks?
Residents should have a plan for when the time comes where they will need more care.  When a resident needs continuous care with daily living tasks, they will need to move to a facility that assists with such care.  The Regency is only an independent living facility that is self-run by the Residents themselves.  Please ask us about our Checklist for Occupance that all residents need to meet to live at the Regency.
