My sister's and I are extremely satisfied with his level of care, the compassion and care of the staff, the attention to care details, and the level of communication are exceptional! The meals are amazing! Memory Care is double the price of assisted living. We pay separate for haircuts for a hair dresser that is on site. With the level of Dementia most residents have, I feel that hair styling, nail, ear, nose, and face grooming should be offered as part of the cost. We and he are very pleased with Peregrine Colonies.... Read more

Every single one of the staff from the maintenance worker, to the aids, the housekeepers and the Chefs, go above and Beyond providing they are truly a caring, safe, and friendly environment for my husband. I highly recommend this facility for anyone who is looking to place a loved one and in this facility

The facility has exceeded my expectations. The staff are genuinely caring, competent, friendly and on top of everything. They treat my husband (and myself) with dignity and respect. Each person, regardless of their position, is willing to help all residents no matter the situation. The activities are well done, the food is great (my husband loves his snacks too), and the facility is well maintained and very clean. I am there everyday and can say with absolute certainty that this place is great. No one wants to have to make the decision to place their love one into a facility, however, since i had to do so, this was an excellent choice for both my husband and i. I highly recommend Peregrine Colonie

There is little or no communication to the families any longer. The food is good. Housekeeping has dropped off over the year. Activities are a thing of the past. They used to stand out as far as activities. Now they just do nothing. This facility used to be outstanding now it is no different than any other facility. I don't know if it has to do with Gary leaving and he was the motivator. They cannot seem to keep good staff. Disappointed! At this point I would not recommend this facility from any other. Certain Directors seem to no longer have their head in the game.

We are very happy with the care my brother is receiving at Peregrine. All of us were impressed with the fact that even the first time we walked in the door all the staff addressed my brother by name. They seem to be well staffed and they all seem involved with the residents. We like the fact that they serve meals on real plates, cloth napkins and table cloths. It's just overall a nicer atmosphere

May 23, 2024Thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with us. We are delighted to hear that your mom is enjoying her time at Peregrine Senior Living at Colonie. Our team works hard to provide a clean and friendly environment, as well as excellent care services. We very much appreciate your recommendation and we are so happy to have you and your mom as part of our Peregrine family!
I would say that almost every community had lovely caring staff and clean, well maintained facilities-- the choice came down to how your loved one's needs matched the layout and activities offered. I was in a quandary until, while visiting Peregrine Colonie, [name removed] the chef entered and gave me a loaf of fresh baked bread still warm. That unique gesture made up my mind.

August 23, 2023Thank you so much for the kind review. We are so happy to hear that you feel that Peregrine Colonie has been a great fit for your loved one. We hope to continue to exceed your expectations while caring for them!
I think it is way too pricey. We have to pay for some of his activities. Plus the [removed] a month. Staff is outstanding! The receptionist's are sweet and welcoming. The aids are the absolute best, I have not met one that is not absolutely wonderful with my dad. The maintenance Director, [name removed] has been especially fantastic. My dad has him moving something every other day. Yet he does it with a smile. He often checks on my dad too, he doesn't have to do that. My dad appreciates that and so do I. Love, Love Love the staff. Not a bad thing to say about them.

August 11, 2023Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a glowing review of our community. We are so lucky to have kind, outgoing staff at the community that value providing the highest quality care possible. We are also appreciate the kind words about [name removed] - he is a wonderful asset to the community! Thank you again for such a positive review!
Peregrine is a memory care Facility and did not have much resident involvement or even smiles. Did not seem to be interested in long term care but that may be a memory care mantra. [removed] looked like a prime place after Peregrine. The two should not be compared as they support different levels of care. Our resident is not to the point of needing full memory care yet but I still needed the option for down the road. Changes are hard and with age even harder. Ingersoll offered the best of both worlds for us. Each of the facilities had great tours. I could never decide on a place without a tour. Our deciding factor was the enrichment available at each respective facility.
Staff was very pleasant. They greeted dad with a friendly smile and made comments to me all the time how they lived his smile. Greeted him by his name. He felt comfortable.

March 24, 2023Thank you so much for the kind words - we're so happy to hear that you would recommend our community to family & friends!
This was an average community. The rooms felt more like a dorm room and not an apartment for my loved ones.

February 14, 2023Thank you so much for taking the time to leave this review. I'm sorry that you felt the size of the bedrooms were too small, but the idea is that our residents to not spend all of their time in the rooms, but enjoy the other spacious parts of our community such as the Great Room, dining room, spacious sitting areas, and even out beautiful outdoor courtyards. Our goal for our residents is to keep them busy with wonderful activities as well as other events so that they do not spend all of their time in their bedroom. Please feel free to reach out to the community at (518) 456-4500 if you have any other questions!
We really like the cleanliness of the community and the people there really do seem friendly. For us the location is very convenient which is very nice. We aren't allowed to go back and see the meals but from what we hear it sounds good. We do think they could improve on their little rules and quirks they have in place.

November 3, 2022Thank you so much for the kind review Megan! We also look to provide our residents with a variety of activities to keep them active and engaged throughout the day!
We've had a relatively positive experience. Some of the staff is VERY good. They have a lot of activities and interact with the residents quite a bit. They make a real effort in a difficult job. Sometimes they're short on staff, which I understand is a common situation in these times. And once they're able to get staffing levels up, they'll be even better.

September 22, 2022Thank you so much for the honest feedback. We appreciate you taking the time to provide it, as we always strive to be the best community that we can be! We will take your suggestions into consideration and continue to provide the highest quality experience to the residents of our community!
Our family had an in person tour and it was a great experience, everyone we met with was very polite, friendly and not pushy at all. The decision was all ours, they did not try to push you or sell you on anything. They also have very nice amenities there.
Response from Peregrine Senior Living at Colonie
September 22, 2022We're so happy that you felt no pressure from us to make a decision for your loved one. We know how important it is that the fit works for not just the resident and the community but for the family too. We wish your loved one nothing but health and happiness!
We thought we had picked the place that was going to work very well. But after a bit we realized that she needed a higher level of care. We decided after a few falls and hospitalization we seemed it was best not send her back to this.
