NYSDOH-licensed Enriched Housing Program in Cheektowaga, Erie County — 112 certified beds, certificate 240-S-109.

License and inspection record

Is Peregrine Senior Living at Cheektowaga licensed by New York State?

Yes. Peregrine Senior Living at Cheektowaga holds New York State Department of Health operating certificate 240-S-109 as an Enriched Housing Program in Cheektowaga, with 112 certified beds in the 2026 Q2 state report, and has been licensed since January 16, 2004 (about 22 years).

On top of that base license it holds Assisted Living Residence licensure for 112 beds, 25 of them Enhanced (EALR), and 32 Special Needs (SNALR) dementia beds. Those certifications are what make it “assisted living” in New York's legal sense, not just in its marketing.

What does Peregrine Senior Living at Cheektowaga's NYSDOH inspection record show?

Between July 1, 2022 and June 30, 2026, NYSDOH inspected Peregrine Senior Living at Cheektowaga 21 times and cited 13 violations; 13 inspections found none. The most recent report on file is a complaint survey issued March 13, 2026.

1 of those visits were routine relicensure surveys and 14 were complaint investigations. A complaint survey does not mean a complaint was upheld — many close with no citation.

The regulation areas cited most often were admission and retention standards, resident services, records and reports. What matters is whether the same areas repeat survey after survey, and whether the plan of correction was approved.

13 earlier reports are on the state record linked in the table above.

Enforcement: NYSDOH lists a Stipulation & Order (#ACF-22_052) dated October 4, 2022. A stipulation and order is a formal agreement with the Department that settles cited violations, sometimes with a civil penalty. Ask the community what it covered and what changed afterward.

Does Peregrine Senior Living at Cheektowaga offer memory care (SNALR) in Cheektowaga?

Yes. Peregrine Senior Living at Cheektowaga is certified as a Special Needs Assisted Living Residence for 32 of its 112 beds, which is New York's certification for dementia care.

That is 29% of the building. Ask whether the SNALR neighborhood is a separate secured floor or wing, how many SNALR beds are open now, and what happens if a resident's needs go beyond what SNALR covers.

Can a resident age in place at Peregrine Senior Living at Cheektowaga?

Partly. Peregrine Senior Living at Cheektowaga holds Enhanced Assisted Living Residence certification for 25 beds, which lets a resident stay when they need help walking, transferring or managing a chronic condition that would otherwise force a nursing-home move.

What does assisted living at Peregrine Senior Living at Cheektowaga cost?

No state record publishes this community's prices, so we do not either. The CareScout 2025 Cost of Care Survey puts New York's statewide median for a private one-bedroom in assisted living at $7,110 a month; no Buffalo-specific figure is published.

What moves the bill at a specific community is the care level: EALR and SNALR care usually cost more than base assisted living, and this community holds both. Ask for the full fee schedule in writing, including level-of-care charges and what triggers an increase. New York requires a written residency agreement before admission. Our cost guide walks through the numbers, and the CareScout survey is the source.

Who operates Peregrine Senior Living at Cheektowaga?

NYSDOH lists Peregrine's Landing, LLC as the operator of record (llc), licensed since January 16, 2004.

1 other licensed community in Erie and Niagara counties carry the Peregrine name. Each holds its own operating certificate and its own inspection record, so a strong record at one does not carry over to another: Peregrine Senior Living at Orchard Park.

In the 2026 Q2 quarterly report the community counted 91 residents at quarter's end against 112 certified beds (about 81% full). A community near capacity may have a wait list for SNALR or ALP beds even when other rooms are open, so ask.

A license held for 22 years usually means an older building; ask what has been renovated and when, and whether rooms and bathrooms are set up for walkers and wheelchairs.

How does Peregrine Senior Living at Cheektowaga's record compare with other Buffalo-area assisted living?

That is below the regional median. A per-bed rate is a rough yardstick, not a grade: one complaint-heavy year can move it, and NYSDOH does not rank facilities. Read the dated reports above before drawing conclusions.
