03 Our care
Care built around the person.
Memory loss shows up differently in every person. Our care plans start with who your loved one is (their history, routines and joys) and build the clinical support around that, not the other way around.
Memory care
Specialized care for Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, in a community purpose-built for memory loss. Secure, calm and designed so residents can move freely and stay engaged.
Dementia & Alzheimer's care
A whole-person approach drawn from decades of memory-care experience: help with the everyday, familiar routines, trained caregivers and a calm environment that lowers anxiety and keeps residents engaged in the days ahead.
Respite & short-term stays
Short-term stays that give family caregivers a break, or a gentle way to experience the community before a longer-term decision. Full access to care, programming and meals.

I have had two family members as residents at two Silverado facilities and I know of no better place for them. There is a sense of peace, comfort, safety and care that gives me a pace of mind that my princess has the very best care possible.

Staff at Silverado Brea has far exceeded our expectations. Having to place our mother we wanted somewhere that she would be treated like family. This is our third attempt and we finally found her a place were she is treated with dignity. The most caring staff that are kind and companionate and we know our mom is safe.

Frequently asked questions
Questions families often ask.
A short guide to what we hear most on first calls. If your question is not here, call (714) 598-2052 and we will talk it through.
How do I know if it is time for memory care?
Common signs include wandering or getting lost, missed medications, weight loss, trouble with daily tasks, increasing confusion, or caregiver burnout at home.
You do not need to be certain. Call us and we will talk through what you are seeing, with no obligation.
What is the difference between memory care and assisted living?
Assisted living supports people who need help with daily tasks but are largely independent. Memory care is a secure, specialized setting designed for Alzheimer's and dementia, with trained staff and programming built around memory loss.
Many Silverado communities offer both, so care can adjust as needs change.
What does memory care cost?
Cost depends on the community, the level of care and the room. We will walk through pricing and availability for your specific situation, and what options exist to help cover it, so there are no surprises.
Can we tour the community?
Yes. The best way to understand a community is to visit. We will arrange a tour at a time that works for your family, in person or virtually.
How quickly can my loved one move in?
It depends on availability and a short care assessment, but move-ins can often happen within days. Call us and we will walk you through the next steps. Call (714) 598-2052 any time.
