I chose this memory-care community and overall I'm glad I did: the staff are caring, knowledgeable and professional, with 24/7 nursing, engaging activities, pets, and beautiful, home-like grounds that helped my loved one thrive. Meals and rooms are generally very good and the community feels safe and dignified. Be aware of a high price tag, occasional understaffing/leadership turnover, some communication lapses and rare cleanliness/outbreak issues (verify laundry/infection-control and extra fees). Despite those caveats, it was the right decision for our family and worth considering.
Silverado Calabasas Memory Care Community sits among the hills near the Santa Monica Mountains, where you get a single-story building with private or shared rooms and clean outdoor patios filled with flowers, and folks are always friendly to pets if you've got one. Staff include 24-hour licensed nurses, a physician medical director, a masters-level social worker, and caregivers who've gone through 40 hours of specially designed dementia training-plus you'll see that new Dementia Care Certification at work, which means care for Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Lewy body, and other memory-related needs has some experience and heart behind it. The community has three care neighborhoods-Nexus for early memory challenges, Enrichment for those in between, and Sensory for later-stage needs-so people move as their needs change, and there's help for other things like non-ambulatory care and incontinence issues too. Folks can choose from private or shared apartments, and for those who need short-term help, respite care is an option as well, and there's even a hospice waiver.
They've set up amenities you see in more regular places-Wi-Fi, handicap accessibility, a fitness center, a heated pool, room service, and transportation out for errands and doctor visits-and meals come from a chef, served restaurant-style, with options for special diets like vegan, gluten-free, diabetic, or low-sodium, so you're not left out if you've got restrictions. The activity director organizes brain games, social events, music, ping pong, and walks on lush, secure paths, trying to match activities to folks' interests and strengths, which makes for a pretty active life even in later years. The team manages medication and offers support with daily needs, working off individualized wellness strategies to keep everyone as comfortable and engaged as possible, and the community takes pride in the Brain Healthy Living program (called Nexus), which is a notable part of their memory care activities.
The building's purposely designed to prevent wandering and confusion, using things like memory boxes, hand rails, and clear signs, and there's a secure environment throughout so families know their loved ones are safe. Support includes managing wellness, providing diabetic and medication care, addressing mobility difficulties, and offering therapies meant for cognitive impairments. People describe the staff as compassionate, engaged, and always trying to create a warm, home-like feel, with help always nearby but respect for each person's independence. Surrounded by nature with walking trails and bistros, Silverado Calabasas tries to combine good care, comfort, a bit of elegance, and safety for people living with Alzheimer's or other memory issues, and for those interested, there's an option to schedule a personalized or virtual tour to get a sense of the place before making a decision.
