Find a CommunityThat Feels Like Home
When a loved one is living with dementia, you are looking for more than just a safe place for them to live.
You are searching for a community that will honor their individuality, understand their needs, and provide a place to live filled with warmth and purpose. It’s a search for a partner in care who will cherish your family member as you do.
At Peregrine Senior Living at Orchard Park, we share that heartfelt mission. Located on Sterling Drive, we are a proud part of the Buffalo community, dedicated to serving our neighbors. We are here to offer clear answers, compassionate guidance, and a level of expert care that brings peace of mind to you and your entire family.
Is Dementia Care the Same as Memory Care?
While the terms are often used interchangeably, “memory care” is the name the senior living industry uses for this specialized service.
Families often search for “dementia care” because it describes their loved one’s diagnosis. Memory care is the solution—it is the name of our dedicated neighborhoods, our evidence-based programs, and our compassionate teams that provide this exact level of expert support.
If you are seeking dementia care in Orchard Park, our memory care community is what you are looking for.
What Is Dementia Care
“Dementia care” is a term that describes a specialized, person-centered philosophy of support for individuals with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. It is a holistic approach that goes far beyond simple assistance with daily tasks. This approach is about nurturing the whole person—mind, body, and spirit.
It is our commitment to honor each resident’s unique story and focus on their remaining strengths and cherished memories.
This philosophy transforms daily care into an opportunity for meaningful connection, purpose, and joy.
A Secure, Calm Environment
This involves more than just safety features. Our community is thoughtfully designed to be safe and easy to navigate, which helps to reduce anxiety and promote a sense of independence.
From private apartments with emergency call systems to secure courtyards and tranquil spaces like our Zen Room, every detail is intended to provide comfort and confidence.
A Focus on the Individual
We are committed to knowing each resident’s unique life story, preferences, and passions.
This person-centered approach, a core part of The Peregrine Way®, allows us to create individualized service plans and provide care that is deeply respectful, dignified, and honors who they have always been.
Purposeful Days
We offer a structured-yet-flexible routine filled with daily opportunities for joy, social connection, and a sense of accomplishment.
A Specially Trained Team
Our staff members are not just caregivers; they are “care partners” who receive extensive, specialized training in dementia care and sensitivity.
Our dedicated team provides expert, compassionate support 24/7, building genuine relationships with residents and their families.
Our Approach: The Peregrine Way®
Our entire approach is embodied in The Peregrine Way®. This is our unique philosophy, and it sets us apart. We are committed to moving beyond preconceived notions of aging and instead celebrating the unique identity of each person who calls our community home.
Our mission is to help residents maintain a powerful connection to themselves, their families, and their most cherished memories. We do this by focusing on long-term memories, which often remain vibrant.
Our programs are designed to tap into these memories to spark joy and create a sense of purpose. We don’t focus on what is lost; we honor our residents’ pasts and celebrate their present.
The Peregrine Way® comes to life through our signature programs, which are designed to stimulate the mind and spirit:
- Peregrine University: We foster lifelong learning by partnering with local colleges and organizations. This program provides residents with engaging, familiar lectures on topics like world history, civil rights, and American presidents, creating a sense of connection to the world.
- Around the World Dining: Our culinary team creates monthly themed dining experiences with cultural dishes, music, and demonstrations. This program is a joyful way to stimulate long-term memories and spark new conversations.
- Music & Dancing: We believe in the power of music to engage the spirit. This vibrant program fosters a sense of community and pure, simple joy through the universal language of music.
- Family Support Program: We believe families are partners in care. We encourage family participation with a 24-hour visiting policy and invite you to join your loved one for meals at no extra charge.

Our Testimonials
After many years of caring for my wife Maria at home, I realized that her dementia had progressed beyond my ability to provide her the care and security she needed.
The next step – find a home that could provide for her needs. I visited numerous facilities in Western New York including Peregrine Senior Living of Orchard Park.
Peregrine was my choice for many reasons. It is a smaller home with a true sense of community. Their focus is memory care, which becomes obvious when you see the various special areas and daily activities. Most important, however, is the compassionate and professional staff that provide for the residents. Peregrine welcomes family members to visit and participate. Their holiday celebrations never disappoint!
Maria started her third year as a resident at Peregrine. Maria is safe and fulfilled. She considers Peregrine as her HOME.
