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.

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!

Good place for my memory impaired wife
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.

Hi Greg! I'd like to thank you for the 5 star review on behalf of all of the staff who appreciate that you have recognized their efforts. My apologies for the confusion regarding the transportation, but we do reserve transportation on Tuesdays for social outings for our assisted living residents and Thursdays for memory care residents. The requirement to dine in the private dining room, rather than the main dining room was a COVID precaution that has since been lifted. We are happy to allow our residents to dine with their loved one, free of additional charge, in the main dining room.

The staff is wonderful at this facility. The housekeeping is pretty good. Communication with the family is definitely top notch. The meals are pretty good, though my mom says that they are a little bit salty to her taste. One suggestion I have is more evening activities. I would most definitely recommend this facility to family and friends.

Very disappointed an dangerous
My Mom entered the community in November just after Thanksgiving. The claim to be a memory care facility, but they are not equipped at all. My mother suffered from Alzheimers and we need a place for her to feel safe and secure. Instead this facility did nothing except let her wonder the halls all day. The put food down and if she ate, fine, if not, no encouragement or help. She ended up in the hospital for 10 days on Christmas eve and this was the beginning of the end, By the time we moved her in January to a new facility, she was not able to recover and passed away on [date removed]. She was healthy in body before this experience. This facility should not be called a memory care facility. They simply do that to make more money. I would never recommend this facility for any person who need memory care at all. The staff that worked the kitchen, floor and all aides were lovely. Simply ill equipped for this care. Terrible experience.

My Experiences at Peregrine Shaker
The entire staff, so far in my experience, has been very professional, very warm and welcoming, and very understanding that this is a difficult time for families. They just go above and beyond. They check on my loved one. They email me. They call me to see how I'm doing as well as give me updates on how my family member is doing. I'm just very happy, because I feel like my family member is safe and content. And I know that those feelings will only build as she continues to integrate into the community.

a great place for loved ones
The staff really go out of their way to make the residents feel welcomed and comfortable. Just a few days after our loved one moved in, she had fallen and broken her femur. During her stay at the rehabilitation center the community was constantly reaching out to her and encouraging her to come back. When she did they had a big welcome sign for her. She absolutely loves the meals and dining service. She loves the yoga and different exercise classes in the mornings and bingo at night. They are also a pet friendly community. She is very happy there and it is a perfect fit.

My Tour Experience
My tour at Atria Shaker was very good. All of the communities that I looked at were pretty similar in that they were all good places, with nothing of real concern at any of them. In the end it came down to floorplan of the apartments and accessibility to communal areas. And we chose a different community that met our preferences in those areas a little better.

Peregrine Shaker offers Studio, 1 Bedroom and 2 Bedrooms. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Peregrine Shaker 9.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
