All for a price that ensures you can afford to live with us for many years to come.
Q&A with Gina Principato
Executive Director,
The Residence at St. Peter's
We accept seniors and disabled adults from all faiths and backgrounds. Our community is extremely affordable and provides the care and supervision that allows our residents to have fulfilling, satisfying lives lived in comfort and with friends.
The Residence is an independent non-medical facility that provides three meals a day, housekeeping, companionship, entertainment, general assistance, and medication management. For more complex medical or personal needs, private assistance aids are welcomed.
Housekeeping is included in your rent. Once a week our team will dust and vacuum your room and change your bedsheets and linens. We can also wash, dry and fold your personal laundry for a small extra fee of $8 per wash.
Our medication management program is excellent. Our staff is specifically trained to monitor medically necessary drug and vitamin intake, and to help insure that doses are not missed or overused and that prescriptions are refilled promptly.
No institutional food! Our Chef prepares what can only be described as 3 home cooked meals a day. Many have compared our dining experience to staying at a B&B!
Residents are offered the chance to participate in exercise classes, afternoon cards and games, walks around the grounds and movie nights. There are trips to Van Saun Park and outdoor gardening in the warmer months as well as many spontaneous social gatherings and celebrations.
While we are on the grounds of St. Peter’s we are an independently run facility and we wholeheartedly welcome adults from all faiths and backgrounds.
The Residence maintains onsite staffing 24/7 to help residents with everything from midnight emergencies to midnight snacks.

What People Are Saying
“The Residence has been a blessing for my brother and my whole family. I give The Residence at St. Peter's my highest possible recommendation.”
“It would be difficult to put into words how incredibly special The Senior Residence at St Peter's is. My brother moved there after a lengthy illness left him unable to live alone, but still able to enjoy the care and community that is offered at St Peter's. Our family has spent time in many facilities. We know what a corporate, profit driven "home" looks and feels like. St Peter's is the complete opposite of that. We feel incredibly fortunate that we have found a place for our brother to live where he can be cared for, respected and feel truly at home in a beautiful community.
St. Peter’s Residence is a wonderful community and small enough that my mother did not feel lost in it as she did in some larger facilities. With their meals, cleaning service, and 24 hour aid, St. Peter’s strikes the perfect balance between independent living and assisted living.
