Silverado Senior Living

Very homey, berkeley through and through. I personally liked the vibe a lot but I can't imagine my father there. Since they also don't have formal diabetes management, not clear how that might work.

Such a warm and homely atmosphere. I liked that there were pets, dogs and cats, throughout the place. People looked content, actively involved instead of just sitting around in wheelchairs sleeping.

My sister toured this place last Fall. She did not love it, but it was not horrible. I would be willing to revisit if they could accommodate our needs.

I have had some problems with housekeeping, they have it once a week but whenever I go I have to end up cleaning the toilet. We have lost a whole bunch of personal items such as bed spreads, clothing, blankets, etc. I know others have had the same issues as well and we have been disappointed in that. I have heard that they will have new management starting next month.

I have little to no complaints about my tour of this community. The staff where all very friendly to my mother and I and made sure to answer any questions we had for them about there community. It would have been one of our top choices but was over 20 miles away and was very expensive for what they had to offer.

I wanted to thank A Place for Mom for recommending this community as it has been good for us. The only small issue I have is the food could be better. The community is clean and the staff are nice. There are activities to keep the residents active.

My husband has gone to the "Friday Morning Out Club" three times and seems to enjoy it. I can probably give a better answer after he's been involved for a longer period of time.

They seem to be treating him well. They were wonderful about helping us transition during a crisis situation for our family. They are quite expensive though. It's a pretty nice place though.

Silverado is a most friendly caring facility. They try to make their residence comfortable with dignity and respect. I observed that the residence are encouraged to dress each morning and groomed as they would in the past. There are always clean clothes to wear and hygiene is good. The caregivers know all residence by name and treat them as one of their family. All at Silverado are most accommodating with request from loved ones.

My dad lived here at this community. This place is for more independent living. They did get my dad up and out of the room. It was kept clean and nice. The people were nice. There are about 85 residents and only 10 caregivers. My dad needed a place that worked better for his needs. After taking him out of there we found out he was getting a lot of meds to drug him up so they didn't have to deal with him. He now is more alert and thriving.

This community gave me a feeling of being in a hospital. The community looked very outdated and in need of a remodel. The residents were out and being active which was nice to see. The staff was friendly and very nice. The family just felt it would not have been a good fit.

In our situation, it was not a good fit. The social worker was the one who accessed my dad and determined the Silverado Beach Cities could provide the care he needed. Now looking back at the situation I personally think a nurse should have accessed my dad. This is a good place if medical needs are at a minimum. There were no call bells available, and when my husband was visiting and dad had a breathing episode the equipment was very minimal for the situation. They were not able to handle emergency situations. The meals were mainly processed foods. There were not enough healthy choices to choose from. My dad ended up going to the hospital because of dietary issues. There were also issues with my dad's medication being misplaced. The staff was friendly and the place was clean and well maintained. They did provide activities for the residents. It is probably a good place for people who need little medical attention, more for high functioning residents.

I liked the community we toured but it was very expensive. We would not pay $2,000 more than a different community. It was an all memory facility and we did not need that type of care.

Caregivers are wonderful and try hard to do their job there are just not enough. They need more staff. They seem to lose a lot. Too many changes in administration. In last 3 years we have had 3 Executive Directors, 3 nurses, 3 social workers and at least 3 activity directors. Families have been happy with the ones that have been fired. So many changes does not give stability to facility. Corporate needs to come in and be there to see what is happening. Need more leadership - more communication and more caregivers. With this things will change for the better. Staff is afraid to ask for more help.

The cleanliness is not very good at Silverado Calabasas. I've heard there are glasses sitting out with gnats flying around them. The showers are really dirty. Moms room had a bunch of trash in it that never gets taken out. There are staff members that really good and staff that are really bad. I've been really pleased with the overall administrator. Sometimes they do tell me they will call me and it's like pulling teeth to get them to call me back. There was a resident who slapped my mother multiple times. The staff said they are taking care of it. [removed] It is a little much when she fears her own safety. There are several things that need improving here but I do like many things about this facility.

Silverado Beach cities is a nice facility but I think [removed]. They had great support in terms of social workers and nursing support. They seemed well organized. It was kind of noisy. If you are fond of small children it would be a good thing. It looked to me like there wasn't much going on with the activities. It seemed kind of sedentary. I expected more activities from this facility especially with them being trained as they are. One issue that we had is there were no private rooms available. While that is good for some people, for my father that wouldn't work. They did have community animals for the residents and that was really neat. The staff were really friendly. They coordinate with VA's. That was a big plus. For someone that would want a double room it would be valuable but it just wasn't for us.

The staff was very friendly to us while my loved one was staying at Silverado Sierra Vista. He passed away a little while ago, so the questions were a little hard to rate and answer, but that is all I have to say.

They recently took this community over, and are still ramping up. They have some relatively new staff and are still working on completing all the Silverado training. I think it has been an improvement for those that were under the old management. I think an established Silverado community would have a bit more structured activities, and some other things, that haven't quite been set up yet. The people are nice, I don't have any complaints about the people, or anything like that. It is a bit more expensive than other places we looked at though.

The Silverado was okay, it was very clean and the staff friendly. There were some things they done that I did not approve of or was satisfied with. They did not have a lot of activities for my mom, they left her alone a lot.

We used this facility for a respite stay for a loved one. The facility itself was nice, and the staff all seemed very friendly. However, we had some issues regarding the care my loved one received, I believe the staff could have been a bit more careful and gentle.
