    Caring staff, poor management oversight

    I appreciated the homey design, nice layout, safe area, proximity to family, and upbeat CNAs and activity leader Annie who made residents feel like family. But I also saw unacceptable cleanliness and care problems - dirty rooms, ants, surfaces not wiped, missed meals, poor supervision that led to bed sores, and rude, inconsistent management communication. Mixed feelings: great frontline staff, serious oversight issues.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across the reviews is mixed, with clear strengths in staff interpersonal qualities, facility design, and activities, but significant and recurring concerns about care consistency, cleanliness, safety, and management. Multiple reviewers emphasize positive day-to-day interactions and the facility's atmosphere, while others report troubling instances of neglect and unsanitary conditions. The result is a polarized picture in which some residents and families have a warm, supportive experience while others experience lapses that raise serious care and safety questions.

    Staff and interpersonal environment: The most consistent positive theme is the friendliness and relatability of frontline staff. Reviews repeatedly describe staff as pleasant, cheerful, and helpful; CNAs are called out specifically as helpful and there is an overall sense from several reviews that residents can feel like family. Upper office staff are also mentioned positively. One staff member, Annie, is singled out by name as particularly helpful and the best, indicating that specific employees make a strong, positive impression. These strengths support a homey atmosphere and contribute to residents enjoying aspects of their stay.

    Care quality and safety: Despite the positive staff interactions, there are important and recurring concerns about care quality and supervision. Several reviews mention inadequate supervision and explicit safety concerns. Mealtime assistance is a prominent problem: reviewers report meals being unattended and residents not being helped to eat, which is linked in some cases to inadequate monitoring. More serious clinical concerns are also reported, including bed sores (pressure ulcers) and an overall characterization by some reviewers of "worse care" for particular residents. These reports suggest inconsistency in clinical attention and caregiving standards across shifts or among different staff members.

    Cleanliness and facility maintenance: Reviews contain multiple complaints about cleanliness that are not minor or isolated. Specific issues include ants, surfaces not being wiped, dirty rooms, and a generally dirty facility. These sanitation problems undermine the otherwise positive remarks about the facility's design and layout. While the building is described as nicely designed and located in a safe, pleasant area, the cleanliness issues create a tension between the physical environment's aesthetic and the day-to-day maintenance standards.

    Dining and activities: Activities are a clear strong point; reviewers praise a good, engaging activity program and an activity leader who runs engaging sessions. This contributes to resident satisfaction and the feeling of a family-like community. Dining, however, is an area of concern not only for food service but for assistance during meals—reports that meals are "not attended" and that residents are "not helped to eat" indicate a gap between social/activity programming and essential caregiving functions like feeding assistance.

    Management and communication: Communication is described as inconsistent. Some reviewers note that upper office staff are nice, which suggests that some administrative interactions are positive, but other reviews directly call out "rude management." This suggests variability within administrative personnel or differing experiences depending on the individual or situation. Inconsistent communication paired with reports of rude management can exacerbate families' frustration when raising issues such as cleanliness, supervision, or clinical concerns.

    Patterns and overall assessment: The pattern across reviews is one of contrast: strong, individualized frontline caregiving and social programming in some cases, alongside structural and systemic weaknesses—cleaning protocols, consistent supervision, mealtime assistance, and some management behaviors. These are not isolated one-off comments but recurring themes, which raises concern that some problems are systemic rather than occasional lapses. For prospective residents and families, the facility appears to offer a warm social environment and good activities, with certain staff who provide excellent personal care; however, they should be attentive to potential inconsistencies in caregiving quality, cleanliness, and management responsiveness. For the facility, the priority areas for improvement based on these reviews would be standardized communication, stronger oversight of mealtime assistance and daily supervision, improved cleaning/maintenance protocols to eliminate pests and unclean surfaces, and addressing reported management behavior to ensure families' concerns are handled respectfully and consistently.

    About Regency Center

    Regency Center sits quietly in a neighborhood, away from the city's busy streets, and fills a building that used to be an elementary school about 30 years ago, with a full update in 2014 making things more modern and comfortable for the residents who call it home, and these days folks will find well-kept outdoor areas and a whole range of places to sit outside and relax. This non-profit facility has skilled nursing care, memory care, short-term and long-term stays, and special support for people needing help after surgery or injury, as well as orthopedic rehab and dementia care. The staff stays on 24/7 with licensed nurses, including a full-time Physician and Nurse Practitioner, and folks here get help with activities of daily living, medication, pain management, disease management, wound care, IV administration, trach care, respiratory therapy, and more. Rehab therapy is a big part of the place, with a rehab gym open 7 days a week for physical, occupational, and speech therapies, and there's a separate hallway for those in transitional care. Community engagement is strong, with daily programs and social activities helping folks stay involved and make friends, and the dining room offers made-from-scratch meals prepared by a chef, plus dietary counseling for those who need it, and there's a focus on keeping food safe and meeting professional standards in the kitchen. Residents can use WiFi, TVs, and phones in their rooms, and the place comes with parking, accessible restrooms, air conditioning, wheelchair access, and transportation to dialysis. Regency Center provides palliative, hospice, and respite care too, supports people from all walks of life, and does not discriminate. The daily resident census averages about 98, out of 110 certified beds. Admissions happen at any hour. Regency Center has links with hospitals and healthcare providers, keeps up with care plans personalized for every resident, and offers plenty of ways to learn more, including a virtual tour and photo gallery. Inspection reports show 26 deficiencies, including infection-control notes and issues with making care plans and maintaining a fully hazard-free environment, and nurse turnover is higher than average at 66.2%, with nurses putting in about 3.48 hours per resident each day, which is a bit lower than the state average. The ownership is tied to Encore Investors LLC and managed by Encore Health Partners 2 LLC since 2023. Still, a warm and inviting atmosphere remains, giving residents a sense of home while prioritizing safety and compassionate care in every part of daily life.
