Silverado Berkeley Memory Care Community

I highly recommend Silverado Berkeley to any families seeking specialized memory care in the 94702 area. Through my work at Assisted Living Locators; I evaluate communities based on rigorous standards and resident-centered care. The team at Silverado demonstrates a high level of clinical competence and genuine empathy. It is a pleasure to have such a strong resource for our local senior community.

If you have a loved one in need of memory care, please consider Silverado Berkeley Memory Care Community. It is uniquely excellent in many ways. The physical place is more like a big comfy home and not a sterile institution. The staff, including non clinicians, is highly trained and in fact people who are training to provide Memory Care often go through their training with Silverado. This place approaches the considerable challenges of providing Memory care with a humanistic approach that compliments the most contemporary scientific underpinnings informing care planning tailored for each resident. Silverado can handle residents with varied needs from the higher functioning to those primarily with nursing needs/hospice, behavioral challenges and all shades in between. Family, too, are very well cared for and involved in the community. Though my husband died before he could join Silverado, the advocacy provided by Morgan, the Silverado RN Administrator, on his behalf in dealing with the acute care hospital , went very far above and beyond expectation. I can’t say enough about her and how sad I am my husband didn’t get the chance to get there. Did I mention there are dogs, cats, birds and a bunny? There are beautiful gardens to enjoy family gatherings or quiet moments. I can’t imagine a better place for a person with memory care level of need.

The moment we first walked into Silverado Berkeley, we could feel the genuine kindness, skilled professionalism and beautiful spirit of the entire Silverado care team. Each and every day from then on, all members of the team embraced our mother warmly and respectfully and greatly supported her and our entire family during an incredibly difficult time of our lives. We will forever be grateful for their loving care.

I am so grateful to have moved my mom into the good hands at Silverado. I recently had an accident/injury and haven't been able to visit her for almost a month, and I have been so worried about not being able to check in on her. I am even more grateful Perla, who is one of the caretakers. Her amazing care and compassion for my mom, and her updates have really helped ease my worries about not getting to visit my mom. I don't know what I would have done/felt without her. Perla has made the effort to send me frequent pictures, updates and videos; and helped my mom Facetime with me. And the other day, she sent me a video of my mom painting her own nails. This is the most engaged I've seen my mom in a long time. My mom remembers Perla's name (although she calls her Pearl instead of Perla) - and I'm not sure she even remembers my name. Knowing my mom has the special love and attention there means more to me than you can imagine. But not just my mom. Even when she's sitting, she is constantly scanning the room and getting up to help someone that might be forgetting their walker or needing to be tended to for one thing or another. It's that kind of care that makes me so happy I made the decision to move her to Silverado. Thank you all for all that you do!
