The highest quality in short and long-term care, in a lovely park setting by the Hudson,
Regency Extended Care Center is a 315 bed facility in Yonkers offering modern, compassionate care and rehabilitation to people who are elderly, convalescent, handicapped, or chronically ill.

Regency. Just the name implies a gracious level of comfort and service. It's what you get when you choose Regency for long or shorter stays.

Our commitment to caring extends beyond a Nursing Home.

A 24-hour a day professional nursing staff provides skilled, considerate care. Our team approach, including physicians, nurses, therapists and social workers, ensures guests support and supervision. For shorter stays, some specialized services Regency offers are:

· Rehabilitation
· Intravenous therapy for hydration
· Intravenous therapy for antibiotics
· Wound care
· Total parental nutrition

At Regency, we care about the individual. You can see the personal attention at an arts and crafts class where new "artists" are born. Or in a visit to the on-site beauty salon or barber shop where each guest is warmly greeted and gently pampered. It's apparent in our friendly staff. It's there in the newly decorated, air-conditioned private and semi-private rooms - featuring comfortable bedroom furniture, large color TV's, phones and other amenities.

Our guests look forward to mealtimes. Who wouldn't when the dining room is spacious and cheerfully decorated. And the food is tempting and nourishing. Just as important, it's a good time to catch up on friendships.

Each specially prescribed diet is carefully supervised by our qualified dieticians.

Regency's goal is a sense of vitality and the highest level of functioning for everyone in our care. A dedicated team of professionals confers to make this happen.

Our rehabilitation room provides state -of-the-art treatment including occupational therapy, whirlpool therapy and pain management equipment. Our unique simulated bedroom, bathroom and kitchen help reacquaint our rehab patients with a home environment, often resulting in shorter stays. For those who choose, Regency has a special housing unit with rooms for rehab patients only. A dedicated team of physicians and therapists strive to make rehab guests feel confident and able to return to the rigors of daily life.

Progress and pride measure the quality of renewed life in the state-of-the-art rehabilitation room.

Regency is set in a lovely park area in suburban Yonkers. Guests enjoy quiet strolls, and a feeling of security, along the well-maintained paths.
