Silverado Barton Springs Memory Care Community

On behalf of the Westlake Hills Presbyterian Church, we are grateful for Imani Simmons’ volunteer work in our memory care programs as a Community Ambassador for Silverado Barton Springs Memory Care Community. I am the Director of Memory Care Programs at WHPC. Our programs provide meaningful engagement, respite, and connection for adults experiencing early to moderate memory loss and their care partners. Through activities such as art, music, exercise, reminiscence, cognitive stimulation, and small-group discussions, these programs nurture dignity, joy, and a sense of belonging. Over the past year, Imani has been a valued volunteer for our programs. She has led “Chair Tai Chi” multiple times at each of our programs. She also presented a program about safety at our Lunch & Learn for care partners. We are grateful for her service and appreciate Silverado’s dedication to our Austin community.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Silverado at Barton Springs. The staff treats every resident like family, creating an environment where everyone feels respected, loved and cared for. We moved our Mom here 8+ months ago and within weeks we could see the improvements in her well-being. She is engaged in multiple activities daily, loves the musicians that come to the home, has been on some amazing field trips and appreciates the great meals. We had previously been through this difficult transition with our Dad, so we understand the different a great place and support system makes. If you’re looking for a memory care community where residents are treated with dignity, kindness, and like members of an extended family, I highly recommend this home. The dedication and compassion of the entire team makes it an exceptional place. ❤️

I recently toured the community, and it was an amazing experience. Having worked in Memory Care facilities for 15 years, I was truly impressed. One of the residents was playing the piano—and quite well, I might add. Throughout the building, groups of residents were actively engaged in various activities that fit their level of cognitive involvement. The rooms and décor felt like walking into someone’s home rather than a care facility. Most of all, the culture stood out. It was evident that the environment was caring, comfortable, and centered on the residents’ well-being. It was a wonderful experience.

I recently toured Silverado Barton Springs with Margarita, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience. From the moment we met, her compassion, knowledge, and genuine dedication truly stood out. During the tour, she beautifully showcased not only the community, but also the level of care and connection between the team and residents. It was clear how much heart goes into everything they do, which meant a lot to me while searching for the right place for my loved one. Although we ultimately were not able to place my mother at the community, Margarita went above and beyond by providing helpful resources and connecting me with other options. She took the time to educate me, answer all of my questions, and ensure I felt supported every step of the way. I’m incredibly grateful for her kindness and guidance during such an important and emotional process.
