Very caring neighborhood feel at Silvergate. Residents are cared for at their own level and encouraged to participate in all activities. Feels like small family instead of large business. I am glad I chose Silvergate for my Mom.

My friend Al was at Slivergate in San Marcos for about a year and a half, most of that time in memory care. Everyone there was outstanding. Very welcoming and caring. From care givers to med techs to nurses to front house staff, all were caring, helpful, understanding and sympathetic. I can't praise them enough! It was a difficult time for him, and they were all there to help him. If you are looking for a place for a loved one, I highly recommend Silvergate.
