Growth & Development

We recognize the importance of growing and developing leaders at Silverado. Our career development programs have helped many associates advance not only their skill set, but their careers.

Nuturing Growth Through Professional Leadership Programs

The passion and desire to make Silverado’s vision a reality is something that can’t be taught. The skills that allow our associates to do this properly are a different story. Because the drive to enrich lives is a valuable resource, we take every possible opportunity to give our associates the tools to make the most of it. Through our Silverado University, we provide associates with training that goes above and beyond their intended job function with the goal of developing associates to their fullest potential. These programs we have helped individuals advance not only their skill set, but their careers.

We recognize the importance of growing and developing leaders at Silverado. We offer many opportunities for professional development through our award-winning leadership programs:

Administrator Leadership Training 

The ALT program was created to promote world class leaders in memory care and give an opportunity to learn all aspects of community administration. Through extensive training, mentorship with senior leaders and hands-on experience, the program covers company culture, financial acumen and clinical expertise. Programs like ALT demonstrate Silverado’s emphasis on associate training and growth, and illustrates our philosophy that, while skills can be taught, a caring, compassionate nature is a truly innate trait that forms the foundation for a great leader.

New Leader Onboarding

All new leaders at Silverado are invited to our Home Office in Irvine, California to participate in a 3-day orientation. In an intimate group setting, this program allows our new associates to spend one-on-one with the Silverado executive team and other senior leaders. We believe strongly in welcoming our new leaders and providing the foundation of our mission, values and culture.

LIFE Leaders

Associates who are in a supervisory position, and those who have the potential to lead others at Silverado participate in LIFE Leaders. This four-day training program is designed to empower our various leaders with the tools needed to create an engaging work environment.

Leadership Development Forum

Associates who have demonstrated strong leadership potential are nominated for the year-long Leadership Development Forum (LDF). This program is facilitated by an organizational development professional and features presentations from the Silverado executive team and senior leaders.

This commitment to nurturing skills, along with the many benefits we offer, helps us ensure the Silverado team has the ability and enthusiasm to fulfill our promise of enriching lives.

Growing with Silverado

Skills can be learned, but a dedication to helping others comes naturally. At Silverado we recognize those who possess a true dedication and desire to help others, so we do whatever we can to assist and encourage associates to grow with the company and better use their God-given gift of compassion.
