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!
