Overview of Regency Retirement Village of Birmingham

Regency Retirement Village of Birmingham offers assisted living, independent living and memory care in Birmingham, AL. It is in the Sand Ridge neighborhood and has 48 beds, creating a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other.

The range of care levels can support a resident whose needs grow over time without requiring a move to another community. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing and medication while the resident keeps a private living space. Independent living provides private housing with community services and no daily care, while memory care offers a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Housing includes studios, one bedroom residences and two bedroom residences. The two bedroom layout can suit a couple moving together. The starting price is $3,037 per month, but because no care level is attached to that figure, it does not establish a separate rate for assisted living, independent living or memory care.

Short term stays are available for someone who needs a temporary residential arrangement. Financial assistance is also offered to support payment planning. Chip Cook serves as the administrator.
