Our Testimonials

We made the difficult decision to move my mother into assisted living two years ago following my dads passing. She has done so well at Peregrine and we couldn’t be happier. She receives great care each and every day. She frequently tells people that if you can’t live at home, then Peregrine is the next best place to live! We are grateful to all of the staff for the love and compassion they extend to her and to our entire family.

My friend, Kathy, entered assisted living at Peregrine in October. She was treated like part of a family. From the nurses, to the administration, to the housekeeping, they showed nothing but kindness and caring. She has recently had to be transferred to memory care and the quality of the staff has not changed a bit. It is a relief knowing she is in such loving hands during this challenging time. I would highly recommend Peregrine to those who need this level of care.
