I like Peregrine Senior Living at Shaker. I'm insulin diabetic, and there are a couple of other people who have other health issues, it would be nice if they would make food that I and a couple of others downstairs could eat regularly. But I manage, my sugar has been great, so that's good. I have a nice living room, not that big, but I've got all my stuff in it. The bedroom is behind the living room, and it's plenty big enough for me. With regards to activities, this afternoon we do bingo, and I run a meditation group, so I do that. I like just doing any crafts at all. Sometimes they have live performers come in and sing for us, and they throw parties like we had one for Mardi Gras and then the next day was Valentine's Day, so they sugared us up for those two days. And I'm very outgoing, and I make friends easily. The facility's upkeep is great. I have someone who comes in every Sunday and cleans my apartment. And then on Thursday, I put my wash outside in the hall. I put it there and it goes away and comes back on Friday all washed and folded. So the facility is very clean. We have three maintenance guys that will fix or repair anything we need.

Peregrine Senior Living at Shaker was laid out differently from the other place, but it was beautiful, very clean, and spacious. The food was great and the staff was very friendly.

I toured Peregrine Senior Living at Shaker. There's a bunch of stuff that I like about it. I'm struck by the fact that it was very clean and not shabby at all, but it was refreshed, so that was an immediate impression. The tour person, Katie, was very personable. She spoke fast, but we're the kind of people that can take in information fast. The style of communication was easy to follow for us, but not necessarily for older folks. Nevertheless, I'm happy with what I saw of the staff. They seemed very caring. I was also impressed with the food situation, and it looked like a lot of healthy variety of food was available to them. I also like the fact that my parents would be able to spend as much time together as they wanted to. Although my mother would be in memory care and my dad would have a studio apartment, they could still any time visit each other and of course eat meals together, so that was important to us. The staff seemed hands-on, knowledgeable, and warm. They showed us two units, a studio where my dad would be staying because he has no physical or memory issues whatsoever, and my mom's situation in memory care. It would become very, very apparent that she's got to have 24-hour care. They cannot be in the same apartment, which we wanted to have happen, but it wasn't going to be an option.

Peregrine Senior Living at Shaker was very nice and well-appointed. The people seemed to be happy there. The apartments were very nicely laid out, and the bathrooms were roomy, and big enough for a wheelchair. They were light, color-wise, which meant a lot to the residents. It's kind of cheery. They had kitchenettes. They looked very well laid out. The dining room looked like a restaurant. It was very well laid out and very inviting as was the combination library and living room. I can't think of anything bad. The person who gave us the tour was extremely nice. Other than having to climb the hill from the boulevard, it was very nice. The building itself was well laid out and roomy.

I liked the shared rooms at Peregrine Senior Living at Shaker. I liked that it seemed like it was a smaller facility, so it could give greater attention to memory care residents. The staff were very nice, very, very gracious, and very helpful. Of all of the facilities I visited, I think this was the best one. They showed me the facility for memory care residents where they had them sit down and give them some work activities like segregating buttons by color or size or things like that, something that helps them to exercise their minds. I thought that was an excellent idea. The facilities in general were very beautiful.

Like the other assisted living facilities I visited, Peregrine Senior Living at Shaker was regulated by the Department of Health so you were very limited as to what you could do, but the tour I had was very good. The overall appearance was very nice. I liked that they offered a keycard to get in and out of your room and not a key because I thought that it's easier for a senior to get in and out of their room. The lady who took us around was very good. She took her time with us and explained a lot of things. They had a salon, a library, and entertainment. The only downside was that they only had one washer and dryer room on the third floor. There wasn't one on every floor, so you had to take your laundry up to the third floor, no matter what floor you were on. I thought that it'd be a long haul if somebody was on the first floor at the other end of the building. They have to walk all their laundry, but you could hire cleaning services to do your laundry for you (at least your linens, towels, and sheets). So, that was a nice feature.
