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.

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.

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.
