What Is Memory Care?
Memory care is a lifestyle tailored for older adults with cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer’s. Our holistic approach emphasizes strong resident-staff relationships and programs that maintain connections to long-term memories.
Guided by The Peregrine Way®, we promote daily personal growth, honor our residents’ past, dignify their present, and inspire hope for the future.
What Can Memory Care Addresses
Memory care can be an ideal choice for seniors affected by Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and other forms of dementia. Providing personalized, compassionate, and accessible care can be crucial for the well-being of adults with cognitive and memory conditions.
Our staff undergo specialized training that prepares them to support our residents with compassion, respect, and encouragement.
Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most common forms of dementia. Typically occurring in those 65 and older, it can have a significant impact on your loved one’s quality of life.
Common Alzheimer’s symptoms include memory problems, mood swings, and other challenges with daily living.
Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s is a progressive brain disorder often characterized by shakiness and stiffness. It can increase a person’s risk of experiencing dementia and can also cause depression, memory loss, fatigue, and issues with sleep.
Other Forms of Dementia
Dementia is a general term describing a wide range of cognitive and language impairments that can negatively affect quality of life.
Symptoms may vary significantly from person to person, but can include confusion, memory loss, hallucinations, and changes in personality.
When to Choose Memory Care
Because of the profound impact dementia can have on quality of life, being a primary caregiver to those with memory care can become complicated, especially when your loved one’s safety feels at risk.
When you start to have concerns about your loved one’s ability to maintain their own well-being or you need support to help your loved one thrive, it may be time to consider memory care.
When you choose our memory care lifestyle for your loved one, you can get the peace of mind that they are being cared for in a safe, compassionate environment, receiving aid with the daily activities of life, and that their individuality is cherished.
Is Your Loved One Experiencing Forgetfulness?
Forgetting important dates and appointments, neglecting to eat or make meals, or not taking proper medications can be indicators of dementia.
If your loved one is living with Alzheimer’s or another cognitive condition, consider our memory care lifestyle, where they’ll be encouraged to connect with others and their own long-term memories in a safe environment.
Has Your Loved One Been Wandering?
If your loved one often finds themselves in unfamiliar situations, has unexplained bruises or injuries, or wanders without cognition, it may be time to consider your loved one’s options for memory care.
Have You Noticed Behavioral Changes?
A drastic shift in personality can be another indicator of dementia or associated conditions. Mood swings, personality changes, and neglecting personal hygiene are common behaviours associated with dementia.

Our Testimonials
This is a great place for anyone struggling with dementia. The staff are warm and friendly and its a brand new place and clean every time my wife and I visit. The past 6 months have been great for my Mom and she is much happier now. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for care of a family member.
Colonie
I love this facility. I needed to quickly find a safe place for my husband as we were living in Florida. I wanted to move back by family and the staff was a pleasure to work with. We decided on Peregrine after our daughter toured the facility. We did everything be email and phone and they worked hard with the social worker at the facility in Florida to help me get everything in place so I could move my husband. From the moment we walked in the staff was introducing themselves to us and everyone was so welcoming. As we were moving my husband into his room he remarked we got him a really nice hotel room!
This has been an extremely hard and stressful time for me and the staff has been very supportive. Everyone is so friendly. I can see the improvement in my husband as he is relaxed and happy. The facility is very clean, he loves the food and there are activities to keep him busy. I could not be happier.
Colonie
Peregrine Colonie has exceeded my expectations. The staff are genuinely caring, competent, friendly, and always on top of everything. They treat my husband (and myself) with dignity and respect. Each staff member, regardless of their position, is willing to help any resident or family member no matter the situation. I cant say enough good things about the health care aides, they are truly angels with a very difficult job that they perform with care and compassion. Kudos to the administration, operations, activities, food service, and medical departments. Every time I enter the facility I am welcomed and made to feel like I am a part of this community.
The facility is well maintained, very clean, and the operations director and his team couldn’t be more accommodating. The activities are well done and it is obvious that a lot of thought and consideration goes into each activity. The food is great (my husband loves his snacks too) and the menu is diverse. The chef solicits suggestions for menu options and provides a quality product. The staff in the medical department are always there to help. They take great care with all the residents. Peregrine Colonie has a diverse population, which includes a large number of men. The “sports room” has become a hit with my husband and other residents. I am there everyday and can say with absolute certainty that this place is great and my husband and I are very comfortable being part of this community.
No one wants to be on this journey or to have to make a decision to place their loved one in a facility. However, since I had to make that decision, this facility was an excellent choice for both my husband and I. I highly recommend Peregrine Colonie.

We had a fantastic time at the Meet Me at the Institute program at the Albany Institute of History & Art, exploring the beautiful winter paintings of Hudson Valley artist Walter Launt Palmer—known as the “Painter of the American Winter.”
A huge thank you to our phenomenal docent, Natalie Oliver, who helped bring each painting to life. Her knowledge of the artist and his techniques helped our residents truly connect with the art and share their own winter memories. www.albanyinstitute.org/events/this-week/meet-me-at-the-institute-2 www.albanyinstitute.org/ ...
