Peregrine Senior Living at Clifton Park | Memory Care sits in Clifton Park, NY, and offers care for people living with Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia, and the staff there gets special training and keeps learning more about caring for people with memory loss, so families can feel supported, and the staff stays available at all times with technology like emergency call bracelets plus a gated facility that helps keep everyone secure. The community follows "The Peregrine Way" philosophy, which means there's a focus on helping people find purpose through activities and programs that encourage emotional, spiritual, and intellectual growth, and the activity team schedules things like cooking, exercise, yoga, art and craft classes, gardening, music, and both onsite and offsite events to keep people engaged, while a full-time activity director helps coordinate it all. Residents get three meals daily in a comfortable dining room, with menu choices for different dietary needs, and families can join these meals at no charge, plus amenities like guest meals, communal dining, a computer room, a library, gardens, and entertainment areas like music and sports rooms are available. There are outside gardens and activity spots, WiFi and cable TV in each room, and people can choose private deluxe or companion housing, with no move-in fee required.
Personal care is covered, so there's assistance with things like mobility, medication management, dressing, bathing, reminders for bathroom use, and special support for people with incontinence, while nurses and behavioral care specialists, including RNs and LPNs, are on-site to take care of health and behavioral needs, and the team can handle diabetes care including insulin injections as well as manage more severe behavioral problems or wandering, which the facility controls with alarms and a secure setting. Those who need support to transfer, whether they need a little help standing or require lifts, receive care with these needs, and staff provide supervision 24 hours a day, so whether someone is non-ambulatory or tends to wander or act out physically, they get the right oversight.
The community gives people a chance to take part in social hours, discussion groups, intergenerational programs, even bird aviaries and pet therapy, and you'll see activities for both body and mind, like stretching, fitness programs, spiritual services on site, games, trivia, educational lectures, and outings. They also support memory by connecting people with family and pets, so residents are allowed to have cats, and the community does things to help bring back long-term memories, such as music and family gatherings. There are on-site beautician services and housekeeping to keep residents feeling comfortable and cared for. Respite care is available for those who might need a temporary stay, and no matter what needs arise, as care becomes more involved, people can remain in the same community. The building was specially designed for memory care, and it's a close-knit and supportive environment focused on making each day meaningful, guided by The Peregrine Way® approach that celebrates every person's unique experiences and stories.
