    Every year Silverado families are surveyed by U.S. News & World Report about their experience with us. Here are just a few comments shared by verified Silverado Hermann Park family members when surveyed:

    “For families caught up in the muddled world of Memory Care Facilities, Silverado Herman Park is a godsend! They truly care about each resident (and their families) offering up more activities & outings than youth summer camps. Special hearts abound in the entirety of all staff (nurses, administrators, caregivers, etc) I know my sister is receiving the best care possible, in a home-like environment & I am so grateful. VIP for me is 24/7 access & quick response to any question or concern of mine.”

    “After visiting many potential places for my husband we chose the Silverado because of its home like atmosphere, safety and security, and ratio of patients to staff”

    “My brother was reluctant to move here at first, but because of the welcoming staff and the encouragement to socialize and become acquainted with other residents, he now considers this his home where he truly feels loved and respected. Thank you Silverado Hermann Park.”

    “I was amazed by how quickly Silverado worked to admit my loved one who was in a very bad situation. We were all warmly welcomed (even an apple pie!). I was relieved that in less than four days, my loved one was admitted and would be safe and cared for. Thank you, Silverado!”

    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 (713) 521-0169 and schedule a time to visit Silverado Hermann Park.

    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.
