We are leaning towards Peregrine Senior Living at Colonie for my dad. The person managing the place, we could see how caring and kind she was to the residents. Even though she was having a very demanding morning when we went there, she took the time out and showed us around and we could see her interaction with the residents. She was very compassionate. It felt like a home environment and a little less institutional. It was a beautiful facility with a lot of windows and natural light. They had a beautiful chapel. The rooms were nicely set up with private bathrooms. They had a big gathering place as you walk in where the residents were having fun playing and bouncing around a ball with music. There are just a lot of little areas where people could sit and watch TV or take a rest on a sofa. It just seemed to have a lot of space where each resident could find a place where they could be comfortable. They also had a very nice courtyard.

Peregrine Senior Living at Colonie is a really great place. The patients or residents with Alzheimer's can't exit the building. There's no way to get out, so they can wander safely all they want. They take them out to places. They can go outside and different things like that, so it's really nice. It's a great place. We chose this because it was one of the only places that could guarantee (as much as a guarantee could go) that my dad wouldn't exit the facility because he wanders and ends up outside. The staff is extremely friendly, and they're very attentive. There's always one of them around. You can always find someone, so they're very well-staffed. He likes the food. It looks very good. They have great desserts and great meals that look appetizing, although I personally didn't taste them. There's a calendar of activities. They have a lot scheduled every day, and people also come in. There's a woman that came in the other day and was playing music with them. They all had instruments, and it was very engaging. In comparison to the other places that I've seen, it's costly. You get what you pay for.

I toured Peregrine Senior Living at Colonie. It was a great experience. However, we just decided on a different direction based on what we think my aunt's care needs will be going forward into the future. She's private pay right now, but she may not stay that way for too long. The rooms were absolutely beautiful. It was impressively clean and modern. It was just bright and airy. The person who gave me the tour was very personable and extremely informative. I didn't try their food, but I certainly wanted to. Their menu option looked amazing. Their dining area was very modern and engaging.

I loved Peregrine Senior Living at Colonie. As soon as you walk in, it's very bright and cheery. You could see the activity of all the people that are involved. It was very clean, and the rooms were a nice size. Everything was so bright and welcoming. They had fish tanks, birds, constant access to coffee, and stuff like that. I just had a very nice feeling. If the day would come, I would have no problem putting my mother in there. The staff was excellent and the place was neat and up to date. My mother goes to church. I liked that they have a chapel where they have services, and they also have rosary groups during the week. I saw bingo, a section for sewing, and other things I would never think of. You would never know if you're in a senior living place.

Peregrine Senior Living at Colonie was a very vibrant community. Residents were walking in the halls talking to each other and sitting in the community room. The unique thing about the place was from the time you walked in, they had a lot of things to help people remind them of things outside from nature. They had an aquarium, a little aviary with some little canaries and other kinds of birds, and a natural rock-type fountain. They even had a railroad track set up for anybody, if that was a hobby of theirs. They do community outings to restaurants, too. My friend's father is a sports enthusiast, and they're just right next to Christian Brothers Academy, where he can go and watch football games or baseball games. It also had a chapel and a lot of unique features throughout. The rooms were nice. Each one was set up with a bathroom and the size was just right, and they encourage people to stay out of their rooms. They want the residents out and about in the community areas, in the lounge where there's a TV, the place where there's a piano, or the different areas where people could hang out and do puzzles. Their dining area was like a restaurant. We met the chef and it impressed me knowing that he trained at the Culinary Institute of America and he gave my friend, fresh out of the oven, a warm loaf of bread. The gentleman who toured us around was excellent. He was a younger fellow, was more down-to-earth, and seemed to know all the residents.

We visited Peregrine Senior Living at Colonie. I liked the tour, it was excellent. The place was very clean, very open, and airy. Everyone was very friendly; I would say very cordial. I like the area, and the facility itself was appeared to be relatively new. It was an excellent place. The staff was very nice; I also met the assistant director, they were very cordial, very nice. I did not have any experience with the meals. I only have information as to what they serve, written samples; but I was not there at the time when they were serving. They have a chapel, a salon, a barbershop; No swimming pool that I saw. They had a nice variety of assistance groups, such as medical assistants and aids. It appeared that they had a good team. I even met the service guys that hooks up your TV, and everything like that. I thought that it would be homey. When I look at these places, I'm trying to put myself in my husband's shoes and that's difficult to do. But I would say that someone would be comfortable there.
