We’re pleased to announce two milestones for communities that see us growing in two new states. First, the long-awaited Silverado Red Rock Memory Care Community in Las Vegas, Nevada, has been licensed and will welcome its first residents on March 14. In addition, a brand new community in Frederick, Maryland, has been announced with a projected mid-2022 opening date.
“It’s always exciting when we get to share our unique style of care with a new state, and expanding into two states in a matter of months is a truly special occurrence,” says Loren Shook, Silverado President, Chairman, and co-founder. These two additions will increase the number of states Silverado operates communities in from six to eight, with Nevada and Maryland joining California, Texas, Washington, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Virginia.
Both new communities share the same floor plan, and each will serve 72 residents. At Silverado, each community is designed to serve the unique needs of its memory-impaired residents, including many unique innovations pioneered by the company. While the community buildings share many similarities, the surroundings in which they sit are truly unique and representative of the wider communities they serve.
The Red Rock community is located a few miles west of the Las Vegas strip in the Summerlin area and views Nevada’s breathtaking Spring Mountains. Residents are never far from the lively activities and desert beauty for which the area is known. We are excited to add UNLV to our many prestigious university teaching and research affiliations and open with student interns. Administrator Penny Munn, who brings years of experience and familiarity with the senior living market in Las Vegas, has helped to build up a waiting list of families eager to move their loved ones into the community as soon as its doors open.
Located among the sprawling meadows in the countryside east of the main city, the Frederick community sits next to a golf course less than a mile from the Monocacy River. Frederick is rich in history and sits near many historic civil war sites. Senior Regional Administrator Katie Hilburn, whose compassion and dedication helped grow Silverado Alexandria into a standout community, will be overseeing the buildup and opening of the new Frederick community.
Each of the new communities’ locations will provide exceptional options for outings and related activities for their Nexus® early-stage residents. From the Latin word for “connections,” Nexus comprises five pillars of activities in which Memory Care residents will participate. Academic research has validated that participants in Nexus at Silverado showed a statistically significant 60% improvement in cognition compared to those without such treatment.
We invite you to follow along with the new communities as they grow!
