Pioneering Senior Care with… The Peregrine Way®
At the heart of The Peregrine Way® is the understanding that all adults have a desire to be productive in some way. Being productive brings daily fulfillment and helps us feel a sense of belonging.
We embrace our residents’ long-term memories to help them feel productive and connected to their true selves. By personalizing experiences to tap into these memories and encouraging family involvement, we help our residents rediscover their identity, meaning, and purpose.

Our Mission
Peregrine’s mission is to help our residents maintain a connection to themselves through their long-term memories, their families, and through our person-centered care.


Peregrine Way® Signature Programs
At Peregrine Senior Living, our mission is to help residents maintain a meaningful connection with themselves. We focus on highlighting the uniqueness of each individual through 3 distinct programs.

Focus on Long-Term Memories
Our philosophy centers around helping our residents stay connected to themselves. We help our residents preserve their long-term memories through engaging activities and events like pet therapy, music sessions, exercise programs, and more.

Encourage Family Participation
We help foster and maintain meaningful relationships with loved ones by offering numerous opportunities for spending quality time together. From support groups to complimentary family dinners, we warmly welcome each family to become a part of ours.

Staff Training & Appreciation
We equip our staff with comprehensive training in all aspects of senior living so they can provide optimal support for our residents. With thorough training and our ongoing appreciation, our team is prepared to help your loved one enjoy a life of ease and comfort.
Community-Driven Events
In the heart of our commitment to fostering a vibrant and caring community, we empower our residents to lead in the selection and organization of various charitable events throughout the year.
These events are not only random acts of kindness but also cherished moments that bring us closer, knitting the fabric of our community tighter with each passing season.
Community-Driven Events
We encourage our residents to take the lead in choosing and planning a range of charitable activities year-round.
These activities go beyond mere acts of kindness; they’re experiences that strengthen the bonds of everyone who is a part of our community.
The Alzheimer’s Walk
Additionally, we champion the cause of Alzheimer’s awareness through participating in the Alzheimer’s Walk, uniting residents and staff in a powerful demonstration of support for research and those affected by the disease.
Peregrine Way Signature Events
We encourage residents to pursue their passions and try new hobbies. Our signature events are designed to help them connect with themselves and feel fulfilled.
Our residents can enjoy a variety of classes in the pursuit of life-long learning, experience cuisine from around the world, and share their favorite experiences with one another.
Peregrine University
Through partnerships with local colleges and other organizations, we offer stimulating lectures that promote lifelong learning and help spark new interests for residents. Some of the topics include world history, civil rights, American presidents, and art history.
Around the World Dining
At our Around the World Dining experiences, monthly themes and cooking demonstrations are enhanced by movies, lectures, and music from around the world. This program helps stimulate long-term memory and gives our residents an opportunity to enjoy new experiences.
Intergenerational Programs
Here, we bridge the gap between generations, creating a vibrant tapestry of shared wisdom and youthful energy.
These programs invite families to join residents in a broad spectrum of activities, ranging from art workshops and music sessions to storytelling and technology classes.
It’s an opportunity for grandchildren to bond with their grandparents over shared interests, and for adults to gain invaluable insights into the past while contributing to a sense of continuity and belonging within our community.
Gardening Club
Our gardening is where nature meets nurture.
Residents can enjoy hands-on workshops, learn about sustainable gardening practices, and participate in community beautification projects. It’s more than just gardening; it’s about growing together in harmony with nature.
Community Outings
Outings offer a chance to explore and connect beyond what our community has to offer.
These excursions offer unique opportunities to engage and integrate with the local culture, enjoy nature, and create unforgettable memories with friends old and new.
Culinary Experiences…The Peregrine Way®
Dining is more than just a meal for our residents. To foster a sense of home within our community, we invite families to share complimentary meals with their loved ones—at no extra charge. We also honor our residents by featuring family recipes on our menu and naming dishes after them!
