My mom has been at Silvergate in Memory care for 4 years. She is safe and happy. The med techs are kind and conscientious; they appropriately watch out for my mom whenever a health issue arises and they communicate with me anytime there are medical concerns. The activities are fun and engaging, but beyond that the activities staff do their best to include everyone making them feel special and cared for. My mom has been able to develop friendships there which has been crucial to her well being. Activity gals are absolute gems! Anytime we’ve had a concern or issue arise with my mom, the management has been receptive to correcting it or finding a solution. There are family forums throughout the year where refreshments are served and we can connect with Silvergate management/department heads and the families of other residents to bring up concerns and stay informed. My mom had a little issue arise with her TV and the Executive Director Jessica reached out to me personally, the very next day! Silvergate encourages family involvement and visitors. They host amazing dinner parties on the patio a few times per year for residents and family, as well as monthly lunches for us and other special activities for the various holidays. I just enjoyed a lovely Mother’s Day tea party with my mom and other memory care residents/family. The campus, building, and rooms are clean, modern and beautiful. My mom had been in several other facilities and in my home, prior to Silvergate. There were all sorts of issues, and I had to worry about her constantly— I was always functioning as a caregiver more than a daughter. While no where is perfect, my brother and I are very pleased with Silvergate. I get to be a “daughter” again and I’m not constantly dealing with facility problems. We see my mom multiple times a week, we take her out to church and to other family events, my mom is always happy to go back “home” to Silvergate! It’s hard having a loved one with dementia and seeing them deteriorate, but Silvergate has made a difficult situation better where we continue to create good memories and great moments with my mom.

Thank you Silvergate for the recent "Out of Africa"-themed social gathering in Rancho Bernardo! The entire event went very smoothly, from the friendly shuttle transport, to guest reception, to speedy meal service, and a warm, welcoming reception by all staff who served us! We enjoyed meeting so many enthusiastic community residents as well as interacting with the entire staff of Silvergate properties---from the President through the Marketing and Event Planners to the entire Food Service Staff! The meal was delicious, unique, and quite creative. The group of West African musicians and dancers energized us all with their upbeat music, personal interaction, amazing stilt-walking, and we even learned a few new expressions from their language: "Wau-wau" (wow-wow) for "thank you", and "Ba-ba-ooooo" for "Good-bye"! We know such an experience takes hard work and care to details, both of which were evident in the day's activities. We appreciate all you did, and for the opportunity to show just how nice a place Silvergate RB is for senior living! Wau-Wau! Sincerely, Doug and Jane Sjoberg, Westwood RB

I really enjoyed meeting Pam Rundle and the residents at Silvergate. The lunch at the restaurant was awesome. Silvergate is very high on my list of senior residence as I love the floor plans of the cottages. I plan to stay in touch.

Silvergate RB is the best place for our mother. She is busy and happy with lots of friends. The staff are welcoming, helpful, and kind. Our mom has had some health challenges which were mitigated by, not only their health team, but all the staff and residents. She loves her apartment. I like that the facility is smaller, rather than one of those sprawling complexes. I think that helps the staff support the residents better and creates a better sense of community within both the residents and staff. It’s a bright, happy place.
