I have been visiting a friend here for almost 3 years. In that time, the same group of wonderful employees have been working there. They are all attentive, loving people and they take the best care of every person that lives there. I have never, not one time seen a person left in a bad condition. The clients that live there are always clean and dressed and as active as they can be. The facility is always clean, the food is good and both the employees and the people who live there are happy. I've seen a lot of Memory Care Living and Silverado is by far the best care in San Diego!
As an aging life care manager, it is of paramount importance to me to know my clients are receiving excellent care. I have had a couple of clients now at Silverado Encinitas Memory Care and have been so well pleased with the care and attention my clients have received. I recently had a client who needed extra special attention to make the transition into a new living situation and the team at Silverado went over and above to make sure my client adjusted well. This client is so happy and always beaming about where she lives and "her family" there and how nice everyone is. Silverado is her home and she couldn't be happier. Plus, her actual family has such peace of mind to know that their loved one is thriving and enjoying her life at her new home. I highly recommend Silverado and their caring engaged team!
The Silverado team truly goes above and beyond—combining deep expertise with heartfelt compassion. From leadership to frontline staff, everyone at Silverado is dedicated to creating meaningful moments and personalized experiences for every resident. Special shoutout to Mary, Director of Engagement! Her creativity, energy, and genuine love for the residents shines through in everything she does ❤️
As a provider of senior home care and placement services, I make it a priority to truly understand the communities I recommend to families. From the moment you walk in, this community stands out — not just for its warm, inviting atmosphere, but for the compassion and professionalism of its team. They don’t just provide care — they create a sense of home, especially for those living with memory challenges. If a loved one of mine ever needed memory care, I’d have full confidence placing them here. It’s a place where dignity, safety, and joy come first.
As a client care manager, I frequently visit Silverado to check on our clients’ care, and I am consistently impressed by the exceptional attention and support they provide to their residents. The team goes above and beyond to ensure that every new resident receives the extra care they need during the transition, helping them feel comfortable and at home. The residents truly thrive in this warm and welcoming environment, thanks to the outstanding staff and the strong sense of family within the community. Families can be fully at ease knowing their loved ones are in a safe, compassionate, and nurturing space. I highly recommend Silverado and their dedicated, caring team.
