The Regency features a full range of daily activities, local trip, guest lecturers, and spacious studios and one-bedroom apartments. There are several nice outdoor spaces spread throughout the community, including a porch overlooking the main street of the town, where frequent parades stop and say hello.

Memory Care at The Regency in Glen Cove is called Safe Harbor. The Memory unit at Regency was completely renovated just 2 years ago, and it features a number of different studio sizes and configurations. The space dedicated to Memory Care is substantial, and it features a dedicated, secure outdoor space. The higher staff to resident ratio gives each resident the opportunity for personal contact and discussions during the day, and the staff on duty at night assures residents and families that attention to residents is maintained during the ‘sundowning’ and overnight hours. Residents can take advantage of a variety of activities in the building, and periodically outside trips are scheduled.
