Silverado Senior Living

They just go above and beyond to acommidate the residents and their families. They really look to help you do whatever it is that you want to do for your loved one. The only area for possible improvement that I can think of is that my husband has commented to me about the food not being very good. Other than that it has been a really good experience with Silverado Calabasas. Everybody there does really an exceptional job.

They're doing an exceptional job at Silverado Belmont Hills, I'd give them top marks across the board. They really seem to do everything well! My loved one is a very difficult case, but I couldn't be happier with how they are handling everything. The staff are all very friendly and professional, and the medical director in particular is wonderful. I would highly recommend them!

My friend that is staying at Silverado Beach Cities is doing great. She was at a different facility where she was left alone too much and it was not a good situation, and since she has been at Silverado Beach Cities she has really done a complete 180. The founders really knew what they were doing when they set this place up. They knew that these people suffering with Alzheimers and dementia should not be left alone, and need to be engaged and watched over. They keep her mind focused on other things, interacting with other residents, etc. They really hit the nail on the head with what these people need, and they truly deliver it !

We are extremely pleased. My mother calls it Silver Ridge Resort. The food is like a five star restaurant, and the presentation is really special. They make the residents feel very special with the presentation. The atmosphere was very quiet and serene. It's back is to a retention pond, the property is 5-10 acres, it's a beautiful setting. The price is somewhat negotiable, and I felt it was very reasonable. She thinks the caregivers are so nice, and she really likes it there.

Silverado is hands-down the best place for people with dementia. My mother had been in a Sunrise community for several years, but the staff were not able to keep up with (or really understand) her needs as her dementia increased. We moved her to Silverado after she fell and broke her hip (not totally Sunrise's fault, no one can monitor every resident every minute 24/7). All of the staff at Silverado really "got" dementia and what she needed, and were exceedingly caring. They offer in-house health and dental services, which was a blessing as getting her to a doctor's appt was a three-person job towards the end. I only wish we had moved her to Silverado earlier.

They people are very friendly. They’re very caring. They went out of way to help. Everything is well kept and tidy. I never had the chance to eat there. The staff was the best though, and we were happy with everything they offered.

Mom still hasn't moved into The Huntington. There are still no openings. She has moved from Silverado Beverly Place to Silverado Sierra Vista in Azusa. We like Sierra Vista a lot and so does she. We were lucky to have her transferred to Sierra Vista, which is closer for all family members to see her more often. The Beverly Place Fairfax/Melrose location of L.A. was not convenient for anyone. The care at the Silverados is very good and they have "brought mom back" from being a zombie to more of a functioning person who needs lots of care. The facilities are very nice and the staff is wonderful. All staff members are responsive to our questions or concerns. We are kept informed about mom's condition and her needs. We have meals with mom, with no additional charge. We don't do this very often but it's a nice benefit for us to know we can do this when we arrive to see her. It helps us to see how she is eating too. The Silverados are not inexpensive, but they are giving mom a better value than other places mom had to endure, because of the philosophy and training of Silverado, and the loving care provided by the Silverado staff. Fortunately, mom has long term care insurance which covers the cost for her to live at a Silverado Memory Care Community.

My wife and I toured nine local senior living facilities within a two month period. Our Mother had mental disease. We chose Silverado because they really cared and specialized in dimentia. We liked that all their residents interacted with each other, and we especially liked that they welcomed small cats and dogs, who are important to seniors and their comfort. We highly recommend Silverado and their terrific caring staff. Our Mom passed away there, and my brothers and I were in attendance. That's always hard, of course, but it was the best for Mom at the end. Thanks especially to Kim Wentink (wonderful Family Ambassador, who has now been replaced with an equally caring person named Courtney) and all the nursing and financing staff. They were all honest, caring, and loving. Unlike other facilities, Silverado gives you everything at one price. Because they specialize in Memory Care, they knew that Mom would get worst eventually, but that's what they're all about, so they don't nickel and dime you. They really care.

My loved one is doing quite well here! She seems very happy, and looks like she is really enjoying herself. The staff are very attentive, and always very willing to engage both with the residents and with family members. They've also been very accommodating throughout the whole process.

It’s really just beautiful! I tell everybody they need to come here! This is just a genuine community. The food is delicious! Family members are always welcome to meals – we even had a birthday party here! The staff members know everyone by their first names, and are very personable. You can tell that the residents really listen to and respect the staff. Also, they have 8-9 activities a day!! With things like chair yoga, music, paintings, and field trips once a week, no one is ever in their rooms or sitting and watching TV. They are at the top end, price wise, but it is always immaculate! On a clear day, you can see the ocean from here. There’s a swimming pool and BBQs in the summer. There are lots of nice dogs and even two miniature horses! We would recommend this place to anyone!!

Spoke with Community Administrator who gave me lots of valuable information about dementia. Raised my awareness about laws surrounding a dementia diagnosis.A supportive, beautiful environment.

Wow, I can't say enough good things about this place! The cost is high, but you definitely get what you pay for - even more than 24 hr care! They are very well-staffed, and for memory care, that is extremely important! We mainly chose Silverado because they are exclusively memory care. The staff is aware of the resident's needs, and go above and beyond to attend to them! They will stay up with them at night, and let the resident's wander around if they want to (in a safe environment, of course). Also, they gave us material to read to help with the transition process, which was extremely helpful! My advice would be to consider that a shared room is not what you think. The resident's are only in their rooms to sleep. We are very very happy with this decision!

My Mom has been at Silverado almost 2 months. So far I am very impressed. It has a huge outdoor area with lots of outdoor furniture and the halls are unlocked during the day. this gives the residents with memory issues, a sense of freedom. The nurses work closely with the primary doctors to adjust meds for quality of life, but never over-medicate. hence it is a lively place. The excellent caregivers balance resident's dignity, happiness and safety. The meals are high quality and nutritious. There are an average of 12 activities a day to choose from, which vary and rotate. There are 24 hour sandwiches, ice cream and cookies available. Best is that there are several resident dogs and one cat. The administration and staff have been very supportive of our family as we go through this difficult transition. We are always welcome to share a meal there, go on a field trip, etc.

What really struck me about this place is how amazingly friendly the staff are! They are very caring towards the residents, and show just as much friendliness and compassion to the families and visitors. All hugs, no handshakes at Silverado.

Love it and all of the staff!

My mother seems to like it a lot when I take her there. They have different activities, they bake, they paint her nails. She would tell me she was dancing while she was there. Everyone knew her name and was very friendly. They have a lot of staff walking around, and it's more bright and cheery.

The care is very good. The thing that was most important in choosing Silverado is the fact that it's so gigantic. I don't know what it is - 5000 - 6000 sq ft - it's gigantic and my father is still ambulatory so that's good. For someone with dementia who is still totally ambulatory there is not other option. All the others were way too small. At Silverado there is a lot of space to walk around. It's also in a good neighborhood so he can takes walks outside. The atmosphere is very busy. It feels like you're on a campus. They separate the people who are ambulatory and the second level is for people that are much further along in their dementia. For my father, it's much better to be with other ambulatory people.

My mother-in-law was there for a period of time, and it was a really great facility. Very, very nice. For a number of reasons, she we had to move her out and into a smaller group home. We didn't take her out for any type of dissatisfaction with Silverado or their staff, but she was getting a little confused being around so many people. If the group home doesn't work out for whatever reason, we would have no hesitation moving her back here.

Beautiful grounds and facility, lots of activities in the community. Staff was friendly but seemed to almost 'put on a Show'...

It's my mom who is there and it's going fine. All is well. There was a little trouble doing the paperwork for CalPERS in September but we got that all straightened out. We're really delighted with the care that mom gets there. The staff is great! They're always in good moods. I think we're pretty please all in all. She has a lovely roommate, very nice person. There are nothing but good things to say. Mom always is dressed nicely they do her nails every week. She goes to the beauty salon on Thursdays. The hospice workers are good. One comes on Sundays and reads to mom. Everything is great.
