Columbus Alzheimer Care Center is now part of the Peregrine Health Services family of Ohio-based health care centers. Peregrine is a privately held company – not a national chain. Our corporate and senior leaders are seasoned professionals with a wealth of first-hand experience in nursing, rehabilitation, Alzheimer’s and long-term care. They are a regular presence within our center and are directly involved in the decisions that impact the care and well-being of our residents. Peregrine is committed to each of the communities we serve, continually investing in the people, the facilities and the programs we offer. The result is a uniquely hometown approach to the delivery of the most advanced sub-acute and long-term care services available.

In 1991, the Columbus Alzheimer Care Center opened its doors as Central Ohio’s first facility solely dedicated to the medical, emotional and spiritual needs of those afflicted with Alzheimer’s disease and their families.

The center was supported through legislation passed in Ohio in 1986 that paved the way for development of such solely dedicated centers for those with Alzheimer’s and other dementia related disorders.

A not-for-profit organization known as the Columbus Alzheimer’s Treatment and Research Institute, in affiliation with The Ohio State University’s College of Medicine, developed the Columbus Alzheimer Care Center under the guidance of Dr. Leopold Liss, a professor of neurology at Ohio State. Dr. Liss, an internationally recognized expert in the field of Alzheimer’s disease, continues to this day to serve as the center’s Medical Director.
