Dad moved into Peregrine Senior Living at Colonie on Monday. It's memory care. It's too early to say right now but it seems decent, so far. I'd say the communication is okay. His room is nice and you can kind of personalize it however you like so that's nice. They have some birds in a cage, an aquarium and they do a lot of activities. I don't know if he's been taking advantage of them yet, but it seems like there's stuff you can do there. The food's pretty decent too. He's been enjoying it.

My stepdad has been staying in the Peregrine Senior Living at Colonie for about a month now. The place is beautiful and clean. They have a ton of activities to keep the residents busy and active. It's not the nursing staff that does the activities. A separate activities staff keeps them busy and helps them to establish a good routine. It's been very positive for him, and it's easier on the staff to take care of him too because he understands what the expectations are with the routine.
They've been very caring, attentive, and kind. There's lots of activities that he enjoys doing, including being able to walk outside in the enclosures. He can't leave, but he can feel like it's in a more normal setting where he gets to walk outside. They also have multiple courtyards, an indoor aviary with birds butterflies and plants, and that's a wonderful feature. The staff has just been excellent with him and very open with their communication as to how he's doing and what's happening with him. He's gaining weight and sleeping well now.
The food has been very good too. He's comfortable, and we know he's safe and well cared for. It is more expensive, but when you compare it to everything out there, the experience we know he's getting there is worth it.

Peregrine Senior Living at Colonie was our best choice so far. I was happy enough to place my cousin in their care for respite. I liked it. They have single rooms that were well equipped. They have nice activities for the residents. The food was good. They have in-room bathrooms with a shower, bathtub, and sink. It was a locked facility for memory care.

I visited this facility
Peregrine Senior Living at Colonie was a brand-new place, so everything looked good. The staff was nice. The dining area looked fine. We didn't notice anything wrong with that at all. The room looked good. With it being memory care, there was no real kitchen or kitchenette type of facilities in it. It was like a large motel room. The bathrooms had good handgrips in it. We were accommodated very well. It was all clean and everything was good.

My mother has been living at Peregrine since the end of September (~3 mos when posting this review). I visit 2-3 times per week, and in this time, I have found the staff to be a caring and patient group of people that give my mom the attention she needs, and treat her as they would their own family. My mother has always been a "foodie" and she praises the dining experience! The food is sincerely top notch. The medical staff is responsive and will call with concerns and information promptly. The facility is very clean with a nice layout, secure outside areas, and beautiful birds in an indoor living area to watch at your leisure. Overall, my mom and I are both quite happy where she is, and I would highly recommend Peregrine in Colonie to anyone looking for a place for their loved ones to reside with peace of mind.
