Peregrine Senior Living at Crossgate

Peregrine has been wonderful for my family member. The staff are so nice and accommodating to her needs. She was very reluctant to go to assisted living but consistently states it is the place she would choose. At first she was reluctant to join any activities but as she has settled in she has participated in the church activities well as the exercise classes. The community members were very welcoming and have been influential in helping her join. We really feel that we picked the best place for her.

The vast majority of aides are exceptional , they work for poverty wages and , care for severely affected patients with alzheimer’s and other dementia causes and are not fully appreciated by the Corporate owners . The food is at best average and often not very appetizing . I feel the patients are well taken care of and are safe as can be with their physical and mental limitations . More appreciation for the staff would definitely make this facility a good 5 as well . separating the leadership of memory care and assisted living would improve the ability to create a cohesive and happy staff

On November 13th my mom was able to celebrate her 90th birthday. Mom has been living at the Atria senior assisted living facility near the Crossgates mall for almost one and one half years. Our first thought was for my wife and I to gather a few of her long time friends and have a nice little party at a local restaurant. But that would have left out many of the new friends she had made during her stay at her new home. So I inquired with Kristyn Ganim, Executive Director of Atria Crossgates, as to whether it would be possible to have a gathering at their facility. After painlessly working out the details, including food to be served, time of day, attendees, room used for the event, and price of dinners (which was QUITE reasonable), all was agreed on, far in advance of the date. On mom's special day, we arrived early, met with Ms. Ganim, Kevin the chef, and the fast and efficient wait-staff, and decorated the room as people started to arrive. Mom was simply overjoyed. Guests were very impressed. Everything went smoothly, right according to plan. It was a total success! Yet just one more reason why we are glad we picked Atria Crossgates for mom's senior living facility! Thank you so much to everyone for your efforts! Mom says: "nobody has ever made such a wonderful birthday party for me before." Wolfgang and Francine Kurth
