Happenings

Our gentlemen had a wonderful time shooting pool, rolling strikes, laughing, and enjoying some friendly competition—proving that, just like in the movies, it’s never too late for a great game and a great time! “I can’t believe that movie is 65 years old…it feels like yesterday!”, Resident Bill shared. Everyone had a great time! #Hustler

For the past 33 years, The Regency has been bringing healthcare right to our residents’ doorstep. Today, we have 15 local house doctors, from primary care physicians to dentists, who regularly come to The Regency to care for our residents.
And for the past 20 years, our Medical Transportation Coordinator, Andres Santiago, has been safely and compassionately taking residents to local appointments—and even out-of-town appointments when needed.
Now, with our new wheelchair-accessible vehicle, we can make those trips even more convenient for residents who find it easier to travel by wheelchair. Plus she’s a beauty!!
New wheels, greater accessibility, and the same caring service we’ve provided for decades! Thanks Andres and make sure you toot your horn the next time you see our Regency car! You won’t miss it!

We even transformed The Regency into a James Bond-inspired Casino Day, complete with casino games, glamorous fun, and plenty of excitement! We actually had three real slot machines here as well. Congrats to Ellie who won the most “money” for the day. She traded in “$128,000 of her casino money” for lunch for four in the private dining room- seems fair LOL! Our 70s Day had everyone getting groovy with retro fashion, music, and fun. And throughout the entire week, daily raffles and prizes kept the excitement going for our residents, staff, and companions.
Prizes included luggage, Tv’s, Movie Tickets, NutraBullets, Luncheons, Hair Salons certificates and so much more! Congrats to all of the 15 winners!
A very special thank you to Annmarie and the entire Recreation Department for their incredible creativity, energy, hard work, and dedication. From shopping and dressing up to searching for those perfect decorations and finding all the little “odds and ends” that brought each decade to life, every detail was noticed and appreciated. You could see the love and effort behind every day, and it made the entire week truly unforgettable. Thank you for creating so many smiles, memories, laughs, and moments of joy for our Regency family!
“There is something truly special about The Regency—a place where residents, staff, and companions become family. We love The Regency, we love the memories we create together, and we are grateful every day to be part of something so special.”

Together, they have become such an important part of the Regency family.
And this isn’t the first time we’ve celebrated this happy couple! A few years ago, The Regency threw them a bridal shower, and we were thrilled to have another reason to celebrate them. After all, their love story has already brought us one great party—now we get to celebrate the next chapter!
The happy couple was even married by Mayor Pam at Glen Cove City Hall, so you could say Baby Justin is coming from a family with some pretty impressive Regency connections!
Our residents and staff went above and beyond to shower Baby Justin with love—and LOTS of goodies! Together, everyone filled the nursery with an amazing collection of gifts, including a highchair, bathtub, entertainment center, adorable clothes, and enough diapers to last a lifetime! Let’s just say Baby Justin is officially set!
But perhaps the most exciting gift of all is something that money can’t buy—an entire Regency family of babysitters! Our residents were already lining up to volunteer for babysitting duty, offering plenty of cuddles, stories, advice, and probably a few tips for Mom and Dad along the way! Also, Auntie Suyapa was there, Edis’ sister and a waitress in our dining room!
There was plenty of laughter, excitement, love, and of course, lots of talk about who gets to hold the baby first! The celebration ended the only way a proper Regency party should—with CAKE!
Congratulations, Edis and Poncho! Baby Justin is already surrounded by more love than he could ever know—and he has a whole community of honorary grandparents waiting to meet him!
Welcome to the Regency family, Baby Justin! We can’t wait to watch you grow!
