Our church serves at a number of facilities around Escondido and I would just like to complement Silverado and their whole team on the standard they maintain at their facility. The whole place looks (and smells) great, it’s warm and feels like home, and the staff do a great job of not just caring for, but loving their residents. I was thoroughly impressed walking through, they should be proud of the work they do because they do it with excellence.
.All of the staff cares deeply for the patients and assists whenever necessary. Your loved one is cared for by many more people than the statistics show. The entire staff from the administrator down to the maintenance staff are completely integrated into the Care Team. They all care. They are kind and everyone pitches in to make sure that the residents needs are met. I was concerned about putting my husband into a Memory Care Facility but Silverado has exceeded my expectations. The Administrator Micheal Zuletta is excellent. The facility runs very professionally. Micheal is not only accessible, but he is very involved with the nursing staff and the residents. Jen, Maria, Stephanie and Matt all work very hard and with great compassion., The nursing staff are experienced when it comes to dealing with my husband's irregular and often challenging behavior. My husband has CTE, a terrible disease caused by repetitive blows to the head while playing football. They are patient beyond belief, they remain calm during stressful events and keep the family informed if any issues arise, truly creating a care "Team". Last but certainly not least, Silverado Memory Care Escondido impressed us immediately as soon as we walked in the door during our initial search for a care home for Richard. It is a very warm and inviting atmosphere. The staff is happy and they all truly seem to enjoy working at Silverado and interacting with the residents. Their heart is in their work. I would highly recommend Silverado Escondido if you would like the best of care for ur loved one.
Choosing a memory care facility for a loved one is one of the hardest and most emotional decisions a family can make, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Silverado Escondido. From the very beginning, they treated my family like their own. What truly sets Silverado apart is the staff. Every single person we’ve encountered has been warm, caring, compassionate, and genuinely invested in the residents and their families. The Administrator, Michael, is always welcoming with a smile, the Family Ambassador, Shanyn, has been endlessly supportive and kind, and the nursing staff is incredibly attentive, responsive, and knowledgeable. Especially Jen, Stephanie, Angie and Sandra. I honestly don’t know how they manage to know every resident and family member so personally, but they do. One of the first things I noticed when I walked in was what I didn’t notice — there was no institutional feel or unpleasant odor that so many care facilities have. Instead, it felt light, bright, warm, and peaceful. The outdoor areas are beautiful and relaxing, and the entire environment feels alive and uplifting rather than depressing. Another huge reason we chose Silverado was because they allow residents to have dogs, which was incredibly important for my mom since she’s always been a huge dog lover. Not only could she bring her own dog, but many staff members also bring their dogs to work, giving residents regular interaction and comfort from animals throughout the community. It adds such a warm, home-like feeling that you don’t find in most places. I also love that families are truly welcomed here. I can come have meals with my mom anytime, and they even offer a private family dining space. They keep residents engaged with activities, outings, memory exercises, hair and nails, holiday events, entertainment, and support groups for families. Jessica is a gem! They truly go above and beyond. What amazes me is how much they genuinely care while managing the needs of so many residents. The peace of mind Silverado has given me is priceless. Yes, it’s more expensive than some facilities, but for our family, it has absolutely been worth every penny. If you are looking for a memory care community where your loved one will be treated with dignity, compassion, warmth, and love, I highly recommend Silverado Escondido.
No one ever wants to choose a memory care facility, but finding Silverado Escondido when you are at your lowest moment, not knowing where to turn for help, is a ray of light and hope. From the moment we entered the front door for a tour, we felt welcomed and supported. It feels like family in the best way possible. The entire staff from the director, nurses, care-givers, cleaning crew, maintenance, reception, kitchen and more are all highly trained and attuned to the special needs of their residents and families. Each resident has their own challenges, and the team is committed to working with them as individuals, meeting them where they are, and finding solutions that work. There are no cookie-cutter solutions here. It will never be 100% perfect, but this team does the hard work to address issues in a collaborative and caring manner. I highly recommend Silverado Escondido.
My sister has been lovingly and skillfully attended to by the entire staff at Silverado Escondido, over the many years she has been a resident. The care with which she has been given has been a blessing, and I cannot praise her caregivers enough. And they treat every resident with the same respect and care. This is a recent photo of her enjoying the delightful backyard.
