    “Silverado’s environment is ideally suited for my relative with dementia. They are the gold-standard in the memory care spectrum of services.”

    “Our mother is social again, is engaging with others and no longer isolated in her home. She’s receiving professional and compassionate care. Her health has improved since moving into Silverado Tustin community and the facility has the full capabilities to handle a large complex family, ensuring our mother is kept stable, happy and comfortable.

    Why choose Silverado?

    Open/close panel
    Open/close panel

    Many families shared the peace of mind they experienced when they finally chose Silverado after wrestling with feelings of guilt that comes from deciding to reach out for help. Even a family working together cannot replicate what an expert team of professionals who do this for a living and get to go home at night and rest can provide. Even superhuman strength eventually gives out. Once families make a move to Silverado and see that their loved one is better off and they can sleep again, the common refrain is, “I should have moved my loved one in earlier.” They are relieved to be the daughter, son, husband, or wife again and not the caregiver.

    We want to reassure you that we understand that no one knows your loved one more than you do. We are the experts in what we do, having led the way in memory care for over 20 years. Families have shared they recognized that a delay in placement is a delay in care in treating this illness, and we know that a delay can result in a dangerous crisis for the exhausted caregiver or your loved one. Do not wait for an emergency. We invite you to give us a call at (714) 832-7900 and schedule a time to visit Silverado Tustin Hacienda.

    In fact, we’re so confident that Silverado is the best choice to provide for your loved one’s needs we offer a satisfaction pledge unequaled in memory care.

    We look forward to meeting you soon.
