Silverado Medical Directors
At Silverado we don’t just talk about providing exceptional care – we take measures to ensure it at every possible step. One of the best examples of this is our Medical Directors, who are experienced with the challenges of delivering extraordinary memory and hospice care. Our medical directors are involved in education and training of our associates to ensure a consistently remarkable level of care for our residents and patients.
Silverado’s approach to Medical Directors is special in that the position exists at each Silverado location (Memory Care Communities and Hospice). Many companies in the industry have only one medical director for the region or even the entire company. Silverado’s medical directors are involved directly with their communities and provide a level of personalized care that is almost unheard of.
Here are just a few Silverado Medical Directors who represent the levels of excellence and achievement we strive for companywide:
