What Is Respite Care?
Respite care offers temporary relief for seniors and primary caregivers in a safe and nurturing environment.
Through respite care, we can offer your loved ones quality care while you, or their primary caregiver, take a well-deserved break or attend to other responsibilities.
Why Choose Respite Care
Choosing respite care means providing comprehensive assistance so your loved one can continue to enjoy an enriching quality of life.
We can support activities of daily living, including bathing, dressing, and medication management, while your loved one enjoys full access to our community’s services and amenities.
But when should you and your loved one consider a short-term respite care service? The good news is that your loved one can join respite care for virtually any reason—we can personalize their experience based on their needs and reason for joining.
Caregiver Time Off
Primary caregivers deserve time off to recharge and attend to their own needs. Respite care offers a trusted solution where your loved one can continue to receive quality care while you take a break to rest and recuperate.
Managing Unforeseen Events
Life can be unpredictable, and unforeseen events can arise at any moment. Respite care can provide flexible, reliable support for seniors, giving families peace of mind during unexpected situations.

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!

The holidays bring warmth and togetherness, but for those living with dementia, they can also bring overstimulation. Gentle adjustments can make a world of difference.
This holiday season, consider:
🎵 Playing soothing music instead of loud background noise
🕯️ Keeping gatherings smaller and familiar
❤️ Focusing on connection, not perfection
At Peregrine, we help families create environments that foster peace, comfort, and connection—ensuring that the season stays meaningful for everyone involved.
Little adjustments can make the season meaningful for everyone.

Whether you’re a caregiver, a loved one, or someone navigating memory changes, remember: you are not alone.
Together, we can create a world that leads with empathy, celebrates every moment, and honors every memory.

Earlier this week we had our veteran’s recognition service with our guests from the Joseph E. Zaloga American Legion post. We also pulled the winning ticket for our 50/50 raffle with the proceeds to be donated to the V.A. Food Pantry. We raised 1130$ and the winner donated their half back so the total raised went to the food bank! A wonderful day celebrating our veterans! ... See MoreSee Less
