Silverado The Huntington Memory Care Community sits in an old, elegant 1920s mansion in a quiet neighborhood in Alhambra, California, between the 10 and 210 freeways. This place helps seniors who live with Alzheimer's and other dementia-related illnesses, and it's designed to provide a safe, caring, and comfortable environment, with a focus on personal dignity and respect for everyone. Staff keep a close eye on residents who tend to wander or have behavior issues, using security features and technology like alarm bracelets, and the property is secured for safety. There's a monitored memory care unit that offers daily games and activities to help keep minds sharp, and there's a strong focus on brain health through programs like the internationally recognized Nexus program, which uses evidence-based activities for those in early stages of dementia.
Silverado The Huntington has three different care neighborhoods to give the right level of support depending on what each resident needs, and each resident gets a care plan made just for them. The staff includes board-certified physicians like Dr. Norman T. Chien and skilled health professionals such as full-time nurses on-site 24 hours a day, plus social workers, therapists, and a beautician, all trained in dementia care. There's a medical director, visiting healthcare providers like podiatrists, dentists, and therapists, and caregivers who help with daily care, medication reminders, and transfers, even using mechanical lifts if needed. They can handle special diets, diabetes care, and help with bladder and bowel issues for those who can manage their own care. Staff continue to give extra help as needs change, so residents don't have to move away as their health changes, and the place also takes people who have a history of wandering or acting out.
Residents at Silverado The Huntington can join in stretching, Tai Chi, yoga, games, arts and crafts, music and karaoke, gardening, wine tastings, educational talks, and outings. There are frequent activities run by a full-time director, plus trips, family events, social groups, and even intergenerational programs, all meant to support mental, social, and physical well-being. Residents can eat together in a shared dining room, with family and friends welcome to join for free meals. The community encourages people to bring their pets, or enjoy the company of house cats and dogs, and the surroundings aim to feel like home, with beautiful gardens, common areas, and both indoor and outdoor spaces.
This community offers a wide range of care-from short-term respite for people who've just had surgery to long-term stays for those who need daily supervision. People can try living here for 60 days, and if they're not satisfied, they'll get a full refund, so there's no pressure to stay if it's not a good fit. The staff supports families too, holding monthly support groups and offering on-site social workers to help with planning and emotional needs. Housekeeping, laundry, and linen services come standard, along with maintenance, transportation to appointments, events, and shopping. Cable TV, special diets, wellness programs, hospice care, and salon services are all available to residents, and the dining experience focuses on nutritious, tasty food that meets special dietary needs like vegan or low sugar diets.
The entire place tries to create a calm and inviting atmosphere, using dementia-friendly design like memory boxes, lean rails, and bistros, with careful monitoring and caring routines. The team is trained to be kind, attentive, and supportive, with every effort made to help residents keep their independence while staying safe. Silverado The Huntington Memory Care Community doesn't try to be all things to all people-instead, it's set up especially for people living with Alzheimer's, Lewy-body, Parkinson's, and other memory issues, and the goal is always to support their quality of life with comfort, safety, and compassion.
