Silvergate Rancho Bernardo - San Diego, CA

Newly constructed, the separate Memory Care Suites building on Silvergate’s beautiful retirement campus provides seniors with a higher level of award-winning care in a secure, nurturing environment. Our “Neighborhood Design” eliminates long hallways for a more familiar home-like setting. Drawing on 30 years of operating experience, Silvergate has assembled a top-notch team of veteran nurses to deliver truly compassionate dementia and Alzheimer’s care via the “A Positive Approach To Care” model. Nursing Director/staff trainer Certified by Teepa Snow.

Silvergate has modernized the design of the community floorplan in its Memory Care Suites to create easy-to-navigate “Neighborhoods” in a separate, dedicated building on its luxurious 11-acre campus. The innovative design allows for a more personalized, home-like approach to resident care. Each of the four neighborhoods features 12 resident suites that are centered around a plush, shared living room, a convenient kitchen, and a café-style dining room area. Both safe and secure, this revolutionary design concept fosters the greatest degree of resident comfort, engagement, and supervision. With no corridors or hallways to wander, residents are less likely to experience confusion or anxiety – which gives seniors who are living with memory loss a familiar setting in which to be at home and comfortable.

Leading the industry pack with one of the highest caregiver-to-resident ratios, our experienced team focuses on 24-hour, high-touch care every day of the week. Families rest easier knowing more eyes are on fewer residents -- assuring the safety and security of loved ones.

Silvergate employs the well-known A Positive Approach To Care TM model first introduced by trusted industry expert, Teepa Snow. This care method concentrates on positive interactions with residents who are experiencing memory loss. This successful and proven care model allows our certified nurses and trained staff to deliver best-in-class care with the greatest degree of respect, sensitivity and dignity. A positive approach means we can focus on what’s left...not what’s lost.
