At The Regency Assisted Living in Glen Cove, NY, we provide our residents with a full schedule of social and recreational activities. Research has shown that social interaction and maintaining interpersonal relationships for older adults supports good physical and emotional health as well as cognitive function. Our senior living activities and recreation program offers a wide array of exercise classes, entertainment for seniors, trips to local attractions in Glen Cove and educational seminars. Although all of our activities are carefully planned by our recreation director, Erica Ferrara, to enhance physical, social and emotional health, our personal favorite is birthday celebrations. Each of our residents has a unique story to share, and we take the opportunity to capture special moments, recognize achievements and celebrate life.
This January, we celebrated the birthday of one of our dear residents, Harriet Rawlings. Harriet has been with us at The Regency since April 2013.  We love her style and flair. She always looks impeccable with chic clothes and make up, and she is always on the go.

• Appeared in the movie Muppets Take Manhattan and was kissed by Frank Sinatra
