Silverado Senior Living-Sierra Vista is a specialized memory care community located in Azusa, California, two miles north of the 210 freeway on Highway 39 in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains. The community is dedicated to enriching life for residents with memory impairment and dementia.
The community offers three neighborhoods providing different levels of care appropriate to residents at different stages of their disease. Nexus serves early-stage residents at higher cognitive levels who are more independent. Sensory accommodates residents in later stages of the disease who may have lost the ability to communicate verbally and require a high degree of assistance with activities of daily living. Enrichment serves residents in the transitory stages between these two programs.
Silverado Sierra Vista provides unique and innovative programs and amenities designed to meet the needs of residents with dementia. The community features an animal-friendly environment and superior outdoor space. Programs include an internationally-recognized program for early-stage residents combining science and social engagement, a Dementia Care Certification program for caregivers requiring 40 hours of classroom and hands-on training, and monthly Family Support Groups facilitated by clinical social workers to help families navigate the challenges of memory impairment.
The community employs trained and dedicated staff with specialized expertise in memory care, including nursing leadership, activities specialists, and social services professionals. Residents engage in therapeutic activities such as creative programs in the Nexus Garden, where residents participate in art projects and other enrichment initiatives designed to inspire creativity and fuel passion.
The facility is located near Glendora, Duarte, Irwindale, La Verne, Monrovia, Bradbury, and San Dimas. Silverado has received recognition from U.S. News and World Report for its service to families and residents with dementia.
