NETWORKING—The Regency at Hualalai in Kailua-Kona hosted the first AfterHours for 2019. Organized activities included tours of the facility’s studio, one and two-bedroom apartments; the newly refurbished pool and interacting with Regency residents—including 98-year-old Bob. Kona-Kohala Chamber of Commerce (KKCC) attendees enjoyed a hot and cold pupu buffet provided by the Regency’s culinary staff.
Faith Gianan of Regency at Hualalai said the facility is one of 44 long-term health care and senior housing communities throughout the western U.S. overseen by Regency Pacific Management. The Kona location offers assisted living options such as medications management; memory, respite and hospice care; and independent living for seniors. Accommodations include daily meals, weekly housekeeping and linen service, transportation to medical appointments and shopping trips, a social program and on-site staff 24/7.
Wendy Laros, KKCC executive director, said she knows first-hand the benefits of living at Regency as her mother-in-law, Gail, lives there. “I know how wonderful this place is,” she shared.
