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. It is designed for seniors who value their independence but benefit from having compassionate assistance available when needed. Residents can enjoy living spaces, chef-prepared meals, housekeeping services, and a variety of social and wellness activities in a comfortable community setting.
The Peregrine Way®, focuses on supporting our residents’ intellectual, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Through memory-based programs, meaningful activities, and personalized engagement, our team helps residents stay connected to their passions, life stories, and the people around them, creating a vibrant and supportive community.
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.

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.
- Memory Care supports individuals living with Alzheimer’s or other forms of dementia, offering specialized care, structured routines, and a secure environment.
- 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 senior care through both assisted living and memory care, 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.

Our Testimonials
Everything at this facility has met or exceeded my expectations. The staff is very helpful and friendly. My brother likes the food. Everything is clean. I sleep well knowing that my brother is safe, happy, and well cared for.
Shaker
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!

I moved my mom to Peregrine Shaker late last year — and the entire search for the right place, the move, the concerns about adjusting.. were so stressful on both of us – but it was absolutely 100% the right decision. A lot of the staff have been there for years (which makes a difference to me, her last home had a really high staff turnover) – and they are all lovely and caring and helpful. Logistically it’s great for us as it’s so close to St. Peter’s medical facilities. They have a visiting PCP whom my mom loves. Since she’s been there… I feel like she’s gotten healthier – because *stress levels have dropped*. She has fun with the daily activities, she feels safe and supported. And… I bring my dog there all the time, very dog friendly place 🙂 I’m truly glad we found a good home. Thank you.
