Located close in a quiet residential area just west of downtown, Silverado Berkeley is more than just assisted living. It is a specialized memory care community dedicated to enriching life for the memory impaired.

Memory Care Community

When living at home is no longer an option for a loved one it doesn’t mean that their days at home are over – all it means is that it’s time for a different home.

Silverado’s dedication to providing for the needs of memory-impaired residents means that we are more than just assisted living. Specializing in memory care and dementia care allows us to provide for residents whose needs have grown beyond what more generalized senior living communities offer. Our philosophy is built around offering a comfortable environment staffed with skilled professionals who deliver the best care possible, enriching lives and focusing on the wellbeing of residents’ minds, spirits and bodies.

Each community provides expert clinical care led by a Physician Medical Director (many memory care providers have only one medical director for their entire company – we have one at each community). Licensed nurses are on-site around the clock. Every Silverado associate receives training in dementia and how it affects the residents with whom they work. The communities are arranged into three neighborhoods providing different levels of care to meet the needs of residents at different stages of the disease (Nexus, Enrichment and Sensory).

Communities provide a warm, comfortable environment that features pets and often children. Independence and socializing are encouraged as ways to help residents maintain function and ability. Restaurant-quality meals, engaging activities and life-enriching outings round out the living experience at Silverado.

By providing a higher level of service with a focus on comfort and clinical care, we hope to raise the standard of quality for the entire assisted living industry.

Respite Care

Flexible and Overnight Care

Respite care can help caregivers avoid the phenomenon known as caregiver burnout by providing temporary care for loved ones in a safe, engaging environment.

Being a caregiver for a loved one brings many stresses and often leads to caregiver burnout. Having the time to do things such as travel, run errands or even catch up on sleep can be vital to avoiding burnout, keeping healthy and maintaining the ability to deliver the best care.

Respite Care’s Benefits

Available on a per-location basis, Flex Care gives memory-impaired individuals an opportunity to experience the world-class care of a Silverado community while their loved ones receive respite care’s benefits. Whether staying for a day of flexible care or overnight, our flexible care program offers all the benefits that define Silverado’s life-enriching care:

• Industry-leading clinical care, which offers around-the-clock licensed nursing to address any level of need. Silverado associates are also highly skilled in memory care and trained to provide gentle redirection, behavior management, medication oversight and comprehensive care that incorporates fall and injury prevention programs.
• A nurturing environment that encourages associates to bring their children to work, which creates a family atmosphere; provides community pets for unconditional affection and companionship; and promotes a model of care that centers on choice, connection and purposeful engagement.
• Participation in engagement programs and community outings that are specifically designed for those with memory impairment, to encourage group involvement around similar interests. This in turn, helps individuals remain physically and mentally active by inspiring interests and promoting new skill sets.
• Gourmet menus that are both nutritious and appetizing. Silverado’s culinary team prepares meals made from scratch, which incorporate fresh fruits and vegetables, specialty entrée items and themed menu options. Additionally, guests can always help themselves to any snacks from the fully-stocked bistros and country kitchens.

Respite care policies and availability may vary due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
