Not only has the friendliness of the staff members impressed us, but even on the tour the residents were coming up to us, and was telling us how well they are being taken care of and just how much they enjoy it here. That was very impressive.

We are very pleased with our choice. The facility has a home like feel. All of the staff are very friendly and welcoming. My mom loves the food and raves about it. They encourage families to come and eat with them. I would recommend Peregrine Salisbury to others.
