Live with Personalized Support
Peregrine Senior Living at Shaker is here to offer your loved one a life where convenience, comfort, and ease are complemented by comprehensive care.
Assisted living bridges the gap between compassionate support and independence. By collaborating with you and your loved one, we can foster an experience that cares for more than basic living needs—we craft personalized lifestyles to help our residents thrive.
With services like housekeeping, laundry, medication management, and community amenities like our private courtyard, movie theater, and dining room-style dining, our community is more than a place to live—it’s a home.

What Is Assisted Living?
Assisted living provides support for daily activities like bathing, dressing, and medication management to help make everyday life easier and more enjoyable.
The Peregrine Way®, in turn, focuses on supporting our elderly residents’ intellectual, emotional, and spiritual well-being through memory-based programs and events.


When Is It Time to Consider Assisted Living?
Knowing when to seek additional support for your loved one can be challenging. But, if everyday tasks become difficult or your loved one’s needs surpass the help you can provide, then it may be time to consider assisted living.
Our resident-focused approach, combined with The Peregrine Way® philosophy, can offer peace of mind for you, your loved one, and your family.
Take a look at some of the most common reasons residents join our community. If these sound familiar to you, contact one of our advisors today or schedule a tour.

Assisted Living vs. Nursing Home: What’s the Difference?
- Assisted Living offers help with activities of daily living—like dressing, bathing, and medication management—in a community that supports independence with a homelike feel.
- Nursing Homes, in contrast, provide around-the-clock skilled medical care and rehabilitation services for residents with higher medical or personal care needs.
Peregrine Senior Living at Shaker prioritizes elderly care through assisted living, offering respectful support. Although we do not have a nursing home setting, our staff is trained in monitoring health and vital signs, such as oxygen management, in assisted living.
Live Life The Peregrine Way®
We’re here to offer your loved one a fulfilling lifestyle that nurtures their body, mind, and spirit. At Peregrine Senior Living at Shaker, we care for you The Peregrine Way®.

My mom lost my dad and we moved her into Peregrine Shaker so she would not be alone. It took a bit to adjust but it was the best decision we have made. She is very social and needed that outlet. We needed to be sure she was getting her meds and that is all done for her without worry. Mom is so happy and has a lot of new friends. We highly recommend!
