Why Choose Silverado?

Many families shared the peace of mind they experienced when they finally chose Silverado after wrestling with feelings of guilt that comes from deciding to reach out for help. Even a family working together cannot replicate what an expert team of professionals who do this for a living and get to go home at night and rest can provide. Even superhuman strength eventually gives out. Once families make a move to Silverado and see that their loved one is better off and they can sleep again, the common refrain is, “I should have moved my loved one in earlier.” They are relieved to be the daughter, son, husband, or wife again and not the caregiver.

We want to reassure you that we understand that no one knows your loved one more than you do. We are the experts in what we do, having led the way in memory care for over 20 years. Families have shared they recognized that a delay in placement is a delay in care in treating this illness, and we know that a delay can result in a dangerous crisis for the exhausted caregiver or your loved one. Do not wait for an emergency. We invite you to give us a call at (760) 737-7900 to schedule a tour and see how great assisted living in Escondido can be.

In fact, we’re so confident that Silverado is the best choice to provide for your loved one’s needs we offer a satisfaction pledge unequaled in memory care.

We look forward to meeting you soon.

Memory Care Assisted Living

When living at home is no longer an option for a loved one it doesn’t mean that their days at home are over – all it means is that it’s time for a different home.

Silverado’s dedication to providing for the needs of memory-impaired residents means that we are more than just assisted living. Specializing in memory care and dementia care allows us to provide for residents whose needs have grown beyond what more generalized senior living communities offer. Our philosophy is built around offering a comfortable environment staffed with skilled professionals who deliver the best care possible, enriching lives and focusing on the wellbeing of residents’ minds, spirits and bodies.

Respite Care

Flexible and Overnight Care

Respite care can help caregivers avoid the phenomenon known as caregiver burnout by providing temporary care for loved ones in a safe, engaging environment.
Being a caregiver for a loved one brings many stresses and often leads to caregiver burnout. Having the time to do things such as travel, run errands or even catch up on sleep can be vital to avoiding burnout, keeping healthy and maintaining the ability to deliver the best care.

Respite Care’s Benefits

Available on a per-location basis, Flex Care gives memory-impaired individuals an opportunity to experience the world-class care of a Silverado community while their loved ones receive respite care’s benefits. Whether staying for a day of flexible care or overnight, our flexible care program offers all the benefits that define Silverado’s life-enriching care:

•    Industry-leading clinical care, which offers around-the-clock licensed nursing to address any level of need. Silverado associates are also highly skilled in memory care and trained to provide gentle redirection, behavior management, medication oversight and comprehensive care that incorporates fall and injury prevention programs.
•    A nurturing environment that encourages associates to bring their children to work, which creates a family atmosphere; provides community pets for unconditional affection and companionship; and promotes a model of care that centers on choice, connection and purposeful engagement.
•    Participation in engagement programs and community outings that are specifically designed for those with memory impairment, to encourage group involvement around similar interests. This in turn, helps individuals remain physically and mentally active by inspiring interests and promoting new skill sets.
•    Gourmet menus that are both nutritious and appetizing. Silverado’s culinary team prepares meals made from scratch, which incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables, specialty entrée items and themed menu options. Additionally, guests can always help themselves to any snacks from the fully-stocked bistros and country kitchens.
Respite care policies and availability may vary due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Please contact your local Silverado location for details.

Caregiver Burnout

Providing care to a loved one is among the noblest acts of love and kindness one can undertake, but that doesn’t mean the caregiver won’t suffer ill effects from the stress it brings.

Benefits of Respite Care

Respite care allows caregivers and family members a much-needed break from the stresses of caregiving while their loved one continues to receive the level of personalized care their condition requires.

Micheal and the entire staff at Silverado are amazingly compassionate and caring for both our moms. It’s rare to find a facility that exhibits the same level of care that you would expect for a family member, but Silverado is it!<br><br>The facility is light,, bright and filled with music and laughter.. The well trained and accredited staff are amazing with the myriad of challenges that come with a memory care location.<br><br>From the busy activity schedule to personalized nail and hair service, Silverado truly makes our parents feel like they are at home in every way.<br><br>The staff advocates for us and takes our observations and recommendations to heart. We would recommend Silverado to anyone searching for a place for their elderly loved ones.<br><br>Thank you, Silverado for giving us the peace of mind that reinforced this difficult decision.

Silverado Escondido Memory Care is a truly wonderful facility. I was the live in caregiver for a very dear woman who became one of my most cherished friends and forever family to my young son and I. When it was time to take that next step and her family needed to choose the best option for a memory care facility their search finally ended when they found Silverado Memory Care in Escondido. Now that my dear friend has been living there she is so happy every time we come visit her. We just came to see her last night and she was relaxed while watching a funny movie with other residents. She and some of the others were laughing out loud about this particular movie. Recently one of her daughters attended one of their many fun events when they had an Elvis impersonator. I saw the pictures and could tell they had an amazing time! They were dancing and singing and interacting with "Elvis." Every time we have popped in for a visit and no matter what time of day or night everyone seems happy and well cared for. We have had good experiences with everyone that works there. They have all been kind, warm, friendly and helpful. My dear friend loves living there. She is at a stage of Alzheimer's where she has a need for a lot of wandering and walking and she is free to do so at this facility. She can also go outside in their beautiful yard and enjoy some sun and fresh air. I am grateful we can pop in to see her there anytime and know she is happy and doing so well. I am tearing up wrapping up this review because I am so grateful.
