Silvergate Rancho Bernardo, an all-new luxury senior living complex, brings 30 years of award-winning care experience to Rancho Bernardo, already regarded one of the top senior assisted living communities in the area. This is why we found [removed] for both of my parents, and they are now enjoying their golden years.

Sadly, at 90 years old, my mother-in-law was diagnosed with advanced dementia and were lucky enough to have found professional and compassionate care for her her at Silvergate Memory Care in Rancho Bernardo. From the Executive Director [name removed] , to every nurse, chef, dinning fall staff, security, every employee exhibits the highest level of professional care toward our loved one and show the deepest empathy to my wife and I at this difficult time. Most of all, in her current state of advanced dementia, my mother-in-law is someone that others cold and have taken advantage of. Finally, if a state certified secure memory facility is something you are considering for your loved one, will tell you that [name removed] and staff will painlessly guide you through the process. My wife now gets restful sleep knowing that her mother is in a safe. clean and professionally run facility of the highest caliber.

December 2, 2022Thank you for your review John. We are honored to care for your loved one.
When it became medically impossible and too physically demanding to care for mom and dad on our own, me and my siblings chose Silvergate Rancho Bernardo. It was like taking our parents to loving family members who were all professionals in caring for our elderly (mid-90's) parents. We were VERY picky! In fact we considered 28 places but none fit our tight criteria/tight budget until the 29th place, Silvergate Rancho Bernardo. And, we have never regretted our decision but instead were constantly proven correct in our choice. My mom would say quite often how much she loved her apartment, the staff, the food, the activities and the love that she felt each day. My dad, never one for many words, would say that these staff members are 'his comfort'...how much he appreciated the help they received in everything and anything from changing the time on the microwave to getting him to the ER after a fall. We highly recommend Silvergate Rancho Bernardo!

December 2, 2022It was our privilage to take care of your lovely parents. Thank you for your review.
My wife and I are planning ahead and researching senior living facilities. [name removed] provided us with detailed information on floor plans, in house services and costs as well as a excellent tour of the facility. We were very impressed with Silvergate and the friendly staff. Friends of ours are residents of Silvergate and are extremely pleased with the lifestyle and recommended it to us. Our tour and interactions with [name removed] and the staff confirmed their enthusiasm. We look forward to joining them in the near future.

December 2, 2022Thank you for your review. We look forward to seeing you soon.
We have been looking at independent and assisted living facilities in North County and from the first step inside we were blown away by the facility and the staff. The facility is 5 star, immaculate, light and bright and they have many safety precautions in place for the residents. The staff is extremely caring and kind, we noticed that they know the residents by name and genuinely care about them. The vibe here is happy, vibrant and you can see that the residents are thriving with the care, activities, food and I am so excited that my parents chose this place to call their next home. Besides the heated pool, bocce ball, BBQ area, mini putt putt golf, and the beautiful grounds, the residents have privileges at Bernardo Heights County Club where they can play tennis and pickleball, and it is directly next to Silvergate so an easy walk to get there. They have so many groups that anyone from any walk of life will find a group of friends. Make this amazing place your next home!

December 2, 2022Thank you and we hope to see you again soon.
I live over an hour away.......and drive to Rancho Bernardo 4 times a week to see my husband of 20 years..........He has Alzheimer's and when he was home, had a terrible time with sun downing (wandering in the evening).......security picked him up in the early a.m., many a time, confused and sometimes injured......... There are many choices of good memory care facilities in the San Diego area - I saw most of them! The care, the activities to keep my [name removed] engaged, healthy food - all of it, is the BEST.......after my tour - I signed up right away..... The truly BEST - is that my husband collapsed a couple months ago there - within 30 sec. - 2 caregivers and a med-tech were on him with C.P.R., 911 call, clearing the surroundings - and paramedics there within 5 min.... rushed to the Pomerado Hospital 2 miles away. [name removed], had pneumonia, at 99 yrs. old, went to skilled nursing at Pomerado, now back at Silvergate fully recovered, and doing physical therapy.. Like I said - SAFE -

December 2, 2022Thank you for your honest review. We are honored to care for your husband and thank you for your trust in us.
After visiting eight senior independent living communities and many more researched on line, Silvergate came on top in every category. It started with the first impression as you drive into the open and attractive community. Also the lobby is as welcoming as the community as a whole. My tour was led by [name removed] who couldn’t have been more friendly, knowledgeable and caring. As we walked through the property all the residents were reacting to her in such a positive way, you could tell she was well liked and appreciated. I felt the same way. All of the many amenities were top notch. I also ate there and the food was delicious.. it was the first community I saw that I knew I would be happy there. The only problem is everyone else feels the same way so consequently there is a waiting list. I still put down a deposit and will patiently wait for my new home to became available.

December 2, 2022Thank you for you review and sharing your experience. We hope to care for your loved one soon.
Silvergate Rancho Bernardo is a brand new facility. It looked really nice and we liked what we saw on our tour. It was just out of our price range.
The staff has been consistently friendly and responsive. Special mention to to the fine work of [name removed] and his maintenance staff and likewise for the excellent effort of [name removed] in bringing first class and frequent entertainment to Silvergate. We are extremely impressed and appreciative. we are only familiar with the nearby senior facilities, but feel Silvergate is a real cut above the others in this area and would be surprised if anything within the San Diego area could measure up to the standards set here. All the special rooms on the first and second level are outstanding and provide the residents with plenty of extra space to enjoy the activities provided like movies, Tai Chi, cards, reading, etc,. Likewise, the pool, spa, putting green, Bocce Ball court and outside entertainment space at the pool are also very impressive. The grounds are beautiful and well kept. This is a wonderful facility that we are proud to call home. Everything is first class.
