Overall sentiment across the review summaries for Peregrine Senior Living at Delmar Place is predominantly positive, with repeated praise for the quality of interpersonal care, cleanliness, attractive grounds and varied programming. The strongest and most consistent theme is the staff—residents and families repeatedly describe staff as caring, professional, attentive, and relationship-oriented. Multiple reviewers note that staff learn residents' names, provide individualized follow-up, and go out of their way to make residents feel welcome and comfortable. Leadership and specific staff members (several named, including activities and executive leadership) are frequently singled out for being responsive, enthusiastic, and helpful during tours, moves, hospital transitions, and end-of-life care. Many families report that this attentiveness reduced their stress and improved their loved ones' mood and wellbeing.
Facilities and housekeeping are another major strength. The building and grounds are repeatedly described as beautiful, well-landscaped, bright and clean. Common areas — including the library, activity rooms, dining areas, and multiple sitting spaces — receive favorable comments, as do seasonal touches like holiday decorations and fresh flowers. Apartments are often described as comfortable and filled with natural light; however, comments about apartment size are mixed (see concerns). Practical features such as wheelchair accessibility, generator backup, and a sense of safety are also highlighted positively.
The activities program is widely praised for scope and creativity. Reviewers mention a robust calendar that includes concerts, lectures, music, field trips, group shopping, book delivery, and both in-person and online events. Activities staff are portrayed as open to resident input and new ideas; many reviewers credit the Activities Director with creating engaging, personalized programming that helps residents form friendships. That said, a subset of reviewers felt the activities could be more varied (complaints about too much bingo or not enough outings/eating out/ice cream trips), and a few residents experienced limited interactive social opportunities due to assigned dining seats or a smaller social circle.
Dining is generally described as a strength: many reviewers applaud the food quality, meal variety, pleasant dining rooms, quick service, and attentive servers. Several families noted outstanding dining experiences, private dining options, and family dining with waiter service. Conversely, a smaller group of reviewers reported slow food delivery, small portion sizes, or skimpy servings. Overall the majority of comments were positive, but prospective residents who prioritize large portions or frequent offsite dining outings may want to sample meals and ask about menu and portion policies.
Clinical care and medical operations show a mixed picture. Numerous reviewers praise high-quality care, compassion during hospital returns, and helpful nursing response around falls or weight restoration. Several accounts emphasize personalized, dignity-focused care and good communication with physicians. However, there are notable recurring concerns: reports of medication administration problems (late pills, pills left or 'shoved' rather than properly administered), perceptions of understaffing—especially limited numbers of LPNs and use of med techs—and complaints about frequent hospitalizations for some residents. A few reviewers emphasized the absence of an on-site physician (only RN coverage noted) and mentioned difficulties obtaining medications or therapy services. These clinical issues appear in a minority of reviews but are significant because they relate directly to resident safety and care continuity.
Management and operations receive both praise and criticism. Many reviewers applaud responsive management, helpful admissions/tour staff (several individuals named as being especially accommodating), and quick resolution of maintenance or room issues. Multiple reviewers particularly appreciated a no-pressure admissions process and hands-on support during moves. In contrast, some reviews describe unprofessional or rude behavior from certain administrative or med-tech staff, and there are reports alleging neglectful care and mismanagement. Staffing turnover and rate increases are also mentioned, and some families advise recommending 'with eyes open' because of pricing and extra charges for increased assistance. Construction and renovation activity was noted as disruptive in a number of summaries, with hallways under construction and carpeting needing replacement—this appears to be an intermittent operational pain point.
Taken together, the reviews portray Peregrine at Delmar Place as a warm, well-kept, activity-rich assisted living community with standout, compassionate staff and strong hospitality, particularly in housekeeping and communal life. The primary concerns to probe further if considering this community are clinical operations (medication administration processes, nursing staff ratios and on-site medical oversight), the size and layout of specific apartments, any current construction timelines, and fee structures for higher levels of care. Prospective families should tour multiple apartments to evaluate space, taste the food, meet the nursing staff and Activities Director, and ask direct questions about medication management, staffing levels (LPN vs. med tech coverage), and recent incident trends to ensure alignment with their care expectations. Overall recommendation trends positive, but with important caveats around clinical oversight and occasional management/staffing inconsistencies.
