oired

Perhaps living alone is getting a bit more difficult. It's lonely and
sometimes frightening. Cleaning and cooking has become more difficult.
Your family constantly worries about you. Your health isn't what it used
to be. You certainly don't need a nursing home. What you need is Regent
Street of West Bloomfield.

Regent Street offers assisted living which allows you to maintain your
independence and dignity. Round the clock staff will help with all the
little things that will make your life more comfortable and easier. The
nurse manager will help with your medications and monitor your health
needs. Planned activities will bring some fun and excitement to your life.
You can have all the company and companionship you want or you may
choose to enjoy your privacy in one of the intimate parlors located
throughout the building. No need to worry about meals. Breakfast will be
brought to your room each morning. Luncheon and dinner are served in
our beautiful dining room. Housekeeping and linen services are also
provided

Come and see for yourself. Tours are available daily or call for more
information.
