Thang and Marrisa gave me a tour of Silvergate and answered all my questions and concerns that I had about this transition of putting my Dad in a care facility. This decision to help my Dad and give him the care, safety and home he deserves was very overwhelming for me. They took the time to listen to my story and my concerns and gave me a lot of support and comfort in knowing that I am making the right decision in placing my Dad in a home. I became very relaxed and excited for this by the end of the tour. I called my Dad right away and told him everything about the tour and now he is excited to move and go to Silvergate. It's brought some hope and peace of mind to him, which is something he has not had since my mother passed last year. I look forward to having my Dad go to Silvergate now. Thank you Thang and Marissa again!

I liked my tour here very much. The facility is clean and modern. I like the layout of the rooms. The outside areas are inviting. Activities seem abundant. I like the partition in the shared rooms. Room sizes were reasonable. Nice of the marketing employee to send flowers.

Silvergate San Marcos staff is professional, helpful and experienced. I believe my family member is being cared for as well as being kept safe. She likes the food, her private room and all of the activities.

From my initial experience on the website through scheduling and going on the tour, everything was handled so well. Good communication, informative conversations, and great options for both Assisted Living and Memory Care, it is a fabulous community. All the residents looked happy and engaged.

Our mother has been at Silvergate for 3.5 years. The facility is very nice and well kept. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful. Recently though, it feels as if attention to patients has declined. Our mother is getting further along with Alzheimer’s and things are starting to slip as far as care. We reach out to ask questions and answers aren’t sure and have to be sought. We have increase the amount at assistance she receives, including the associated costs, and it doesn’t seem to help. Hoping things can improve.
