I was so glad to view the attentiveness and friendliness of workers at Regency. Rooms seemed clean. The common rooms seemed clean and uncluttered. I felt welcomed. Most of all I appreciated that my friend seems content and cared for. Also the newly refurnished entry room is most inviting and attractive.
