Silverado San Juan Capistrano has literally been a life saver for my wife’s brother. He experienced a psychotic breakdown this year and had been in several nursing homes where he was just a number to be warehoused. He was in bed 24/7 with a significant weight loss. After arriving at Silverado, we saw a significant transformation in him in just a few days. Within several months, he improved 1000% from where he was. Gaining weight, walking, and participating in activities. He will probably never go home, but we are confident in Silverado to give him the best care possible for the foreseeable future.

As a family member of a resident at Silverado Memory Care, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. The facility’s commitment to providing exceptional care is evident in every interaction. They not only offer excellent food and engaging activities that my mother truly enjoys, but they also handle her unique needs with remarkable sensitivity and grace. One example of their compassionate approach is how they manage my mother’s nervousness around showering and laundry. By ensuring the same caregiver is always present during her shower times, they provide a comforting consistency. Additionally, they thoughtfully manage her anxiety about laundry by discreetly handling it while she sleeps, ensuring her clothes are back in place before she notices. The staff’s ability to compassionately and skillfully redirect confused residents is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend Silverado Memory Care for their unparalleled dedication to providing not only care but also dignity and respect to their residents.

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 (949) 240-0550 and we will talk it through.
How do I know if it is time for memory care?

You do not need to be certain. Call us and we will talk through what you are seeing, with no obligation.

Many Silverado communities offer both, so care can adjust as needs change.
