maximizing personalized care and engagement for optimal quality of life
The term Staffing Ratio is often used when representing the proportion of caregivers to residents in communities. This can be misinterpreted as a quality measure by some, which is why when Silverado presents a ratio of associates to residents we refer to it as a Direct Care Philosophy.
At Silverado, all of our staff are passionate about caring for our residents. It is our standard that every Silverado associate receive specialized dementia training and certification that makes them more than just a number for comparison – it makes them a “dementia care specialist.” The benefits of requiring such comprehensive education is apparent, from the happy, engaged residents to the industry leading low rates of ER transfers and hospitalizations.
