Upcoming Changes to Television Provider

As many of our residents and their familes may have noticed by the letters from Comcast, Park Regency will soon be cancelling our cable TV from Comcast. The reason for the cancellation is we are changing to satelitte TV from DirecTV. Hopefully this post answers any questions you may have pertaining to the switch. Here are some of the differences between Comcast's service and DirecTV's service that have prompted this change.

Price? The price you pay for television will not change.

When will this happen? Mostly likely by early July.

Does this affect my phone or internet? No, phone and internet service will remain the same.

Cable or satellite? Comcast--Cable. DirecTV--Satellite.

High-Definition Television: Comcast--With extra HD receiver. DirecTV--Yes, with more HD channels.

Reception? DirecTV will get a better signal and reception with better picture quality. DirecTV has less problems with channels cutting out.

Channels? DirecTV has more of the channels our residents want, and more channels in HD. For example, Comcast does NOT have the popular Turner Classic Movies, but DirecTV DOES have Turner Classics.

Customer Service: DirecTV has good customer service, Comcast's customer service isn't as good.

Park Regency Update

Spring clean-up

It is that time of the year here at Park Regency. We just completed re-striping our parking lot, and replacing any parking lot lights that have burned out. We have begun to weed our flower beds while encouraging the flowers to bloom. We could still use some help with weeding our courtyard flower beds. The flower beds are raised and easy to access. Get gardening tools, gloves, and trash bags from one of our receptionists and have at it.

Successful May events!
Our Mother's Day Luncheon was a huge success. We served a total of 135 residents and guests. We would also like to thank Francis Buckingham for his wonderful performance of music. He was a huge hit and will be our entertainment next year.

We here at Park Regency would like to send a special thank you and congratulations on an awesome job to Kevin Topscher and his friends from Loveland High School. They did a wonderful job planning, decorating, and putting on a special 50's party for the residents. The residents and staff are still talking about this wonderful day. It was such a huge hit that we are planning on making this an annual event. If you haven't seen the photos and videos of the dance yet, you can see them here.

We're Going Fishing!

Spring and summer are here, and so is fishing season!

Every year, our chef, Elden, takes residents out fishing on Boyd Lake in his boat about once a week, weather permitting. This is a wonderful time for our residents to get out and enjoy the beautiful weather and Boyd Lake, as well as enjoy a great, popular activity.

This year, the fishing expeditions will take place on Thursdays, from 9:00am to 11:00am (getting our fishers back in time for some delicious lunch).

Please visit our front desk or call our receptionist to sign up.

It is required that everyone who will be fishing have a fishing license. If you do not have one and would like to fish, please let our receptionist know so we can get you a license.

Happy summer, and happy fishing!
