Having the Conversation About Senior Living

One of the hardest parts of caring for elderly parents is knowing how best to take care of them. With options for Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory care, Silvergate allows seniors to reclaim their healthy time and reignite their pursuits and passions.

The lifestyle here provides seniors with a newfound sense of freedom, giving them the ability to live each day with more purpose and greater joy than they would otherwise experience alone at home.

Even with such significant benefits, conversations about senior care can be challenging for adult children who find themselves having to discuss the topic with their elderly parents. However, with empathy, active listening, and a focus on their wellbeing, the conversations are a positive and empowering experience for all concerned.

Memory Care

The Memory Care neighborhood at Silvergate is a safe, nurturing environment where residents receive specialized support in a homelike setting. Thoughtful programs and compassionate caregivers foster connection, comfort, and a sense of belonging for those living with memory loss.
I am so glad I could move in after several years of living alone and caring for a large house. I have many friends now to talk to and participate in activities with.
While we were touring, I could see my mom’s excitement as she learned about Silvergate’s amenities and activities. I love visiting her but the best part is I don’t have to worry about her being alone. I know she is safe and happy.
The staff at Silvergate is very friendly, and most have been here for over 5 to 10 years. Everyone knows our names which makes us both feel very welcome and loved.
My family and I appreciate all Silvergate does to keep my folks active and engaged. Mom found purpose taking on volunteer responsibilities and serving on the resident board. Dad enjoys visiting and chatting with the other residents.
Moving my dad into Silvergate’s memory care suites has been wonderful. He is much happier and healthier than he was at home. Instead of watching TV all day, he now participates in arts and crafts, puzzles, games, exercise, and live entertainment.
My mother has dementia, but the care provided at Silvergate has her living with as much independence as possible. I often visit her, and we dine together in the sunny dining room with excellent service and even better food.
Silvergate has provided good, honest care to my grandmother for nearly four years. Their staff treats her like one of their own family members. Their caregivers are patient beyond belief, and they are the true heroes!
Silvergate is the kind of place that everyone thinks should exist for their loved one but is rarely found. The staff go beyond the basics and are wonderful. From the executives down, every person is focused on comfort, safety, and quality of life.
I chose Silvergate because you never have to be alone. There are so many activity choices, and you can always find someone to do something with. I gained a whole new family here.
My mother recently moved into Silvergate. At home she was saying she was ‘ready to go’. After only a week, she has a new lease on life and thinks she can make it to 100! Thanks for creating such a nurturing environment.
There’s no place my mom would rather be! Fine dining, family time on the patio, social hour with friends. The staff at Silvergate lives by their motto ‘Where Every Day Matters’.
Peace of mind is the reason we chose Silvergate. The consistency and tenure of the staff is so important to both me and my dad. I’m very thankful for the continuous phone calls and updates.
I’ve been very impressed with the care and family communication Silvergate provides. They have a higher level of nurse staffing than other memory care facilities which gives me great peace of mind.
Our time at Silvergate often feels as though we are on a cruise ship vacation living with friends and staff in our relatively small family-owned setting.
It’s a wonderful place to live. The environment, activities and residents are first-class. Our minds are stimulated, and our bodies strengthened!
My husband and I are very happy. We have a lovely cottage, and we’re walking distance from many activities. There’s even a physical therapy group onsite.
Nowhere fit our criteria until Silvergate. My mom loves the apartment and food. My dad says the staff members are ‘his comfort’.
There are many choices of good memory care facilities in San Diego — I saw most of them, but Silvergate is truly the best. There is quality care, healthy food, and activities to keep my husband engaged.
From the Executive Director to every nurse, chef, dining staff and security, every employee exhibits the deepest empathy and provides the highest-level care. My wife now gets restful sleep knowing her mother is at a safe facility of the highest caliber.
Over the past year of researching memory care facilities for my mom, Silvergate stood out as the place where I could see her thriving. Room size, dining/activity areas and physical layout of neighborhoods were impressive. The residents were happy and engaged in activities.
