Peregrine Senior Living at Onondaga Hill | Memory Care in Syracuse, NY, offers a secure place for people living with memory loss, and the community is licensed under State License 520-F-171. Residents live in private, one-bedroom suites, each with its own bathroom and shower, which gives people privacy as well as comfort, and the whole place sits all on one ground floor, making it easier to get around. The design has open living spaces, activity centers, full-service kitchens where folks can take part in supervised cooking, and there are restaurant-style dining rooms so people can share meals together if they want. You'll find an on-site beauty spa for hair styling, manicures, and pedicures, an ice cream and soda shop for treats, a large country chapel with regular spiritual services for all faiths, and secure outdoor courtyards with open grounds for fresh air, barbecues, and outdoor activities.
The care team follows The Peregrine Way® philosophy, which aims to help each resident keep growing, learn new things, and deepen their spiritual life, often by joining with local colleges and groups for new experiences. The community holds arts and crafts, cooking and culinary activities, cultural and educational programs, music, organized games, fitness classes, field trips, intergenerational events, and holiday parties-lots of things to keep minds and bodies busy, but everything's set up so residents can join in if and when it suits them. There's a strong focus on dignity and making people feel connected, so rooms are arranged as private group homes to help each person feel at home and respected for who they are.
The staff specializes in memory care, tailoring all support for people with conditions like dementia or Alzheimer's, paying close attention to each person's habits, interests, and needs, while the 24-hour emergency call system in bedrooms, bathrooms, and shared areas helps keep everyone safe. Spiritual, intellectual, and emotional health matter here, so the programs encourage friendships, personal interests, and a sense of purpose, whether that's through games, reading, volunteering, seasonal events, or enjoying a meal together. The community offers respite memory care too, so short stays are possible when family members need help. Peregrine Senior Living at Onondaga Hill works to give each person a safe, comfortable, and homelike place to live, with care that recognizes and celebrates the individual.
