Regency Retirement Village of Tuscaloosa Executive Director

Jennifer Anderson

For over twenty years, I have been deeply committed to enhancing the lives of older adults. While our time is finite, the spirit, faith, experiences, and talents we possess are boundless. I find great fulfillment in helping individuals feel valued and ensuring they finish strong, knowing their lives matter up until the very last moment. My grandparents were remarkable people, and knowing they lived with dignity brings me immense joy. This is the standard of care I strive to provide for everyone.

Brittani Henderson – Activities Director

My name is Brittani Henderson, and I am a devoted mother of two. With over nine years of experience as an Activities Director, I have had the pleasure of working with both memory care and assisted living residents. I take great pride in seeing the joy on our residents’ faces and in making our new residents feel truly at home. My foremost goal is to ensure each resident remains engaged and full of life.

Jenny Laubscher – Outreach Liaison

My nursing career began in 2007 as a pediatric nurse, where I initially believed my passion would remain. However, in 2019, my role in case management revealed the critical importance of community resources for older adults. This experience, coupled with hands-on work with seniors, ignited a new passion in me. I am now honored to serve as the Outreach Liaison for Regency, where I have the privilege of educating Tuscaloosa and the surrounding areas on the unique qualities that set us apart. Additionally, I am proud to represent Regency as a Certified Alzheimer’s Foundation of America Dementia Care Partner.

Veronica A. Sims – Dietary Manager

Hi, I am Veronica A. Sims. I am a proud Navy Veteran, a mother of two daughters, and a wife of 29 years. Working with elderly people is why I gladly accepted to work for Regency. I love to see our Residents happy and smiling at mealtime. Working at Regency brings me joy. I am proud to be a member of this organization.

Rachel Adams – Director of Nursing

With over three decades of experience in the healthcare industry, I have cultivated a deep commitment to the well-being of geriatric residents. My journey began as a home health aide and caregiver, progressing through 18 years as an LPN before becoming an RN. My career has spanned urgent care, family medicine, hospice, and long-term care before joining the Regency team. I believe that as the elderly population continues to live longer, they deserve compassionate care that ensures their safety and well-being. My primary objective is to create a warm and secure environment for all our residents.

Vicky Malone – Assisted Living Unit Coordinator

I have dedicated 30 years to nursing, with a specialized focus on geriatrics and geriatric rehabilitation. Since joining the Regency Tuscaloosa team in 2022 as the Assisted Living Unit Coordinator, I have found great satisfaction in working closely with our residents, supporting them in all aspects of their daily living. This role has been both a rewarding and enlightening experience.

Markisha Smith – Business Office Manager

My career in healthcare began as a caregiver, and through years of experience, I have developed a profound understanding of the importance of compassionate care. With over 15 years in the field, I am driven by a deep-rooted commitment to others. This dedication allows me to effectively communicate, empathize, and guide residents and employees through their admission, orientation, and transition to the next stage of life. Caring for others is not just my profession; it is my passion.

Cameron Kennedy – Maintenance Director

I was born in Gadsden, AL, on July 15, 1980, and raised in Fort Payne. In 2003, I made the move to Tuscaloosa, where I’ve built a wonderful life with my wife, Emily Kennedy. We have been married for 12 years and share a big, loving family with five children—my daughter (25) and my sons (19, 18, 18, and 7). In my free time, I enjoy camping, fishing, watching movies, and spending quality time with my family. My favorite food is steak, and while I know I’m in Crimson Tide territory, I have to admit—my favorite football team is the Miami Hurricanes!
