Our family's experience.

Very clean, responsive, and staff truly seems to try to take an individual interest in residents. We are happy with the placement but remain sad she had to be placed. So, the whole experience is very conflicted, no fault of Peregrine.

Our family's experience

The staff is wonderful. Very caring. They make the facility feel like home for my mother. If there is an issue, they are very open and communicate quickly. The only real complaint from my mother is the food isn't the greatest.

Excellent Decision to place Mom at Peregrine

The staff at Peregrine Shaker are wonderful. They are very attentive to the residents and appear to accommodate them quite well. They know the residents by name and engage with them constantly. There are many daily activities and they encourage the residents to participate. The food is fine, similar to a college dining hall. There are a few misses periodically, but overall, it's very good There are many options at each meal, and a well-stocked lounge with fruit, juices, milk and treats. My Mom is pretty happy there!

We are very happy with the facility and my mom appears to be content. When we ask her how she's doing she never complains and says things are good. Very caring and committed staff.

Overall satisfied

We had a few issues with the staff and I feel they were not dealt with to my satisfaction. The food could be a bit better at Peregrine Shaker, as I've tried it a couple of times.

Review for Peregrine Shaker

It was excellent. Caretakers wonderful and attentive. Administrators kept in touch and genuinely cared. Must keep in mind....only assisted living....not nursing capable. Had to move my brother when he needed nursing home care. Hated to leave Peregrine, however.ALL the staff, from Maintenance up to Admin were great.....and one thing was very evident as a visitor......they all got along well on all levels!

5 for everything! The staff have made it such a great experience. They are very kind and understand and respect memory care issues. Appropriate and fun activities. Receptionist at ASSISTED Living desk [name removed]. [name removed] is very helpful when I call. It feels like a caring safe place for our dear brother. Good food- We recently had 2 lunches and dinner there.

Our Experience

The staff are mostly very nice and caring and receptive to visitors. Housekeeping is a mixed review as I have sometimes found my mom's bathroom to be in need of cleaning. Also, they need to change wastebaskets in the bathroom more because of the urine smell from incontinence products. I'm going to bring one with a lid to minimize that. I think they could do more in memory care for cueing to drink her water and soda and other things I bring to her private fridge. I would agree with another reviewer that they are not equipped with sufficient staff or expertise to truly be memory care effective. That said, residents are always dressed and seem happy and interactive. Staff are mostly very pleasant and an accommodating. Overall, it is a very clean, positive environment and safe. Staff do all know and call residents by name and know their quirks and preferences. I would recommend this place and am comfortable with my mom there, but I feel, as all facilities, they need way more staff to patient and are understaffed and probably most aides are working multiple jobs. Burn out is definitely a risk. It's a condition of our society and institutions right now. Peregrine Shaker is doing a fine job given the context. The people who care for elders and disabled and those with special needs and support their families all deserve so much more gratitude, compensation and benefits so they can work one job and have lives of their own. I have been a caregiver for my late husband through a long illness and also for my mom, my dad, and an elderly aunt. I've brought in others to help and so have gotten to see a very intimate portrait of the medical world, pharma, nursing, icu, hospice, institutional and home caregiving. Quite the eye opener.

Our Experience

All of the staff is very friendly, right from the kitchen staff to the receptionist to all the med techs the activities coordinator. They are all very lovely. The communication is good if you can't talk to them right then and there you leave a message and depending on the time of the day they usually return your call the same day or the first thing the next morning. I would say 95% of the time the meals are good once in awhile it's a fail.. LOL. I would definitely recommend this place, it's been a godsend to us. I like the fact that they have somebody keeping an eye on my mom all the time, that she gets three meals a day, that they do the laundry and they clean her room, they have activities during the day, and that they have outside trips once a week. Also, God forbid that she gets dementia and needs to move downstairs, I like the fact that it's people she will still know and the staff downstairs are wonderful in memory care.

Peregrine Shaker Review

We have been very pleased with Shaker and the Memory Care Unit. [name removed] has been so supportive and helpful as has her staff. The activities are so in line with this population and my brother engages in many. The staff are very sensitive and in tune and respect this unique population. There is kindness and personal connection which I believe is vital. I am most grateful for the way they are treating a fine man- my brother- similar how he has treated others.

Review for Peregrine Shaker

I would say the rooms and staff are nice. If there are issues, they are quick to rectify them. I picked this community as it was closest to my house and also the staff was very helpful and very friendly and understanding considering my mom's current situation.

A Great Peace of Mind Facility

My father is a resident at Peregrine Shaker and everything at this facility is 5 star across the board! The facility staff are friendly, helpful and responsive to my father and also to my sisters and I. My father loves the frontline wait and maintenance staff. He also loves the food and the activities that are offered. I would definitely recommend Peregrine Shaker to others!

My wife is currently a resident at Peregrine Shaker and everything has been great for her at this facility. The move-in process went well. The staff are friendly, competent and responsive. The housekeeping is very good. Communication with the family is very good. The meals are good quality. I would recommend Peregrine Shaker to others.

Highly Recommended

My loved one was previously a resident at Peregrine Shaker and I would highly recommend this facility to others. The staff was always friendly. The move in process was good. The housekeeping and maintenance were stellar. Based on my loved one's comments about the food, I would say that it was okay. Overall, she was not real happy with the food. The only negative was that questions were asked and answered, but some details were left out. For example: Do you take residents to doctor appointments, the answer was yes. In reality, it's only done on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Another example: Can families dine in with loved one's, the answer was yes, no charge. In reality, its only when meetings are not happening and they eat separate from their community. Their wellness staff was absolutely terrific. I think that is a real big part of having families feel comfortable with entrusting their family member to a facility.

I toured with Peregrine Shaker and found the facility to be very old looking and worn out. This was the main reason we did not choose them.
