Getting Started with Silvergate

Moving to a senior living community is a big decision-but it doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Silvergate’s team is here to guide you through every step, from your first tour to move-in day and beyond. We’ll help you explore your options, compare costs, and find the lifestyle that feels right for you or your loved one.

What is Senior Living?

Senior living combines the comforts of home with the convenience of a supportive community. At Silvergate, residents enjoy maintenance-free living, chef-prepared meals, engaging activities, and access to personal care if needed—all within a safe, welcoming environment designed to help you thrive.

Am I Ready for Senior Living?

If home upkeep feels like a burden or social opportunities are harder to find, it might be time to consider a community that offers both independence and support. Silvergate helps residents stay active, connected, and confident while taking everyday worries—like cooking, cleaning, and safety—off their plate.

Talking to Your Parent Guide

Starting a conversation about senior living can be sensitive. Our Talking to Your Parent Guide offers helpful ways to approach the topic with compassion and understanding. Learn how to discuss needs, preferences, and emotions honestly—so your family can make decisions together, not under pressure.

The Cost of Senior Living

Senior living may be more attainable than you think. When you factor in home maintenance, property taxes, meals, and in-home care, a Silvergate lifestyle often compares favorably. Our team can help you understand costs, explore financing options, and plan with confidence.

In-home Care vs Senior Living

While in-home care can offer short-term assistance, senior living provides lasting peace of mind. At Silvergate, residents receive personalized care, daily engagement, and a sense of community that’s difficult to replicate at home. It’s not just about where you live—it’s about how you live each day.
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.
