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.

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.

My husband has been a resident at Silverado-St. Charles for over two years. It is a wonderful facility. It is all on one level, and has a beautiful courtyard. I feel very confident in the care and personal attention he receives there. Their engagement programs and close medical supervision have kept him strong and active. They also support family members through support group and family gatherings. It has become our second home.

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 (630) 793-4464 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 (630) 793-4464 any time.
