The Perfect Fit for Senior Living

Silvergate Retirement Residences’ collection of right-sized senior living communities brings together all the conveniences and size benefits of large-scale operations while retaining the most attractive aspects of smaller, more intimate retirement properties. This “Goldilocks” approach also applies to the number of residents living in each community.

For new residents in particular, having the optimum number of residents helps create the abundance of energy and enthusiasm needed to assure a vibrant, independent senior lifestyle while not being overwhelming.

Ideal Size

Ideal Community Size

When exploring senior living options, one key feature families can easily overlook is the impact of the physical size of a retirement community. Step into one that is overly large, and seniors can feel lost.

Walk into a smaller senior community, on the other hand, and the extra services and amenities can be noticeably absent.

Silvergate properties are designed to be large enough to offer the high-end amenities seniors expect in a luxury retirement community, including larger apartment homes, casual and fine dining venues, abundant event and activity spaces and even separate memory care buildings for higher levels of care—all while still being intimate enough to feel comfortable and easy to navigate.

Population

Ideal Resident Population Size

Part of the secret to Silvergate’s success is having the ideal resident population size. Having a high enough volume of residents to produce the collective energy and enthusiasm necessary to make group gatherings, social events and fun activities possible is critical to the social success of a senior living community.

However, there is a careful balance to strike. Silvergate’s ideal resident population size still allow seniors the ability to easily get to know new people, make meaningful new friendships, know staff members personally and to live in a community environment where everyone knows your name.

Luxury Living

Ensuring A Luxury Lifestyle

The size of Silvergates’ communities helps assure enough revenue is generated to provide for an upscale lifestyle without having to collect the significant, up-front buy-in fee often required by many large-scale retirement communities.

By being large enough to have the resources needed to support a wide variety of premium services, every Silvergate community offers industry-leading staffing ratios, the highest quality food and dining experiences, first- rate entertainment, and events as well as continual property reinvestment by ownership.

Decades in business has allowed Silvergate to successfully pinpoint the ideal mix of campus size, resident volume and luxury services needed to deliver an award-winning senior living experience—making it a place where every day matters for residents.
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.
