Silverado Rolling Hills Memory Care Community sits on Pacific Coast Highway in Torrance, California, and you'll find it's a two-story building that serves seniors living with Alzheimer's, dementia, and other memory impairments. The community holds a state license (License #: 198320131) and serves up to 68 residents, keeping safety as a top priority with regular state inspections showing no deficiencies and a fully gated campus, so people can feel secure and families worry less about wandering or confusion. Silverado Rolling Hills divides itself into three neighborhoods designed for different stages of memory loss, with features like memory boxes, lean rails, and dementia-friendly bistros that help residents feel more comfortable in their living environment, which includes private rooms built to support both safety and ease.
The community runs a focused training program for its staff, making sure all associates get 40 hours of training and stay certified in dementia care, so residents always have help from team members who know how to respond if someone feels lost or needs support. A physician medical director, a masters-level social worker, and 24-hour licensed nursing staff are always available, and nurses work on-site for 12-16 hours daily while a 24-hour call system makes sure help is never far off. Silverado focuses on personalized care, from daily assistance and medication management to diabetic care, incontinence care, non-ambulatory support, and even hospice for aging in place. Health services reach high acuity levels for residents with greater needs and include coordination with outside healthcare.
A big part of life here is the community setup, with welcoming spaces like a dining room, a private dining room, a library, a fitness room, a game room, a garden, and walking paths, along with a wellness center and several common areas for gatherings and daily social time. Residents and their pets are welcome, and pet-friendly policies mean animals can stay, too. The culinary team, led by a chef trained at Le Cordon Bleu, makes nutritious and international meals, with special dining programs and low or no sodium options available, and everyone can eat together in the communal dining rooms or have small group meals in the private dining space.
Silverado Rolling Hills runs a variety of activities-movie nights, music sessions, arts and crafts, tabletop games, recreation, fitness and wellness programs, gardening, outings, and even resident-run events. The Silverado Sensory Programs and the Nexus program, which focuses on brain healthy living, help keep minds active and show promising results for memory health improvement. Special memory care programs create routines and a familiar feel for people with Alzheimer's and other dementias, and every resident has a personalized care plan.
Transportation runs both for medical and non-medical needs, taking people to appointments, field trips, or outings nearby. The community supplies all-inclusive rent options, takes checks and credit cards, and offers housekeeping, laundry, and salon services to keep things simple for residents. A strong focus on safety and infection control means staff and residents maintain a COVID-19 vaccination rate over 98%.
Amenities include WiFi and cable in rooms, high-speed internet building-wide, and accessibility for wheelchairs or other assistive devices. Silverado Rolling Hills accepts residents for memory care or for respite stays starting from 14 days, so families can recharge as needed. Residents benefit from a multidisciplinary team and an approach that tries to keep life familiar, engaging, and as independent as possible while making sure daily support is always there. Over time, the campus's welcoming design and programs win high reviews from residents and families alike, as reflected in the community rating of 9.9 and a recent Best of Senior Living Award for 2025. The whole place aims to support people with memory needs, helping each person live with dignity in an environment built for comfort and care.
