Our Huntsville Continuing Care Retirement Community Services

Comfort meets convenience

What is a continuing care retirement community? Continuing care retirement communities, also known as CCRCs or even life plan communities, offer long-term care options for residents who want to stay in the same place through the different phases of later life. These CCRCs offer different types of housing and care based on the evolving needs of senior residents. For example, a resident could start out living independently in an apartment, then transition later to a different space that allows for more help with daily activities and medical care, all within the same community.

In effort to enrich and nurture the mind, body and spirit, Regency Retirement Community of Huntsville offers residents varying levels of senior care, all in one convenient location. Through full continuum of care, our residents are provided independent living, assisted living, and memory care services. Our staff of placement specialists will work with you and your family to carefully select the service that is best suited for the individual needs and preferences of your loved one.
