Silverado Overland Park stands as a dedicated memory care community, passionately supporting individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease and other forms of dementia. With a strong focus on dignity and respect, the community strives to create an enriching and fulfilling atmosphere for residents at every stage of their memory journey. The campus is divided into three distinct care “neighborhoods,” each tailored to meet residents’ needs as their conditions progress, allowing for personalized attention and a strong continuum of care. Emphasizing a culture of empathy and expertise, Silverado Overland Park requires staff to complete a rigorous certification program involving forty hours of classroom and hands-on training, ensuring a skilled and compassionate team is always present.
The community’s professional team is led by Administrator Haley Coder, who draws on a career in health services that started as a Certified Nursing Assistant. Alongside her, professionals such as Director of Health Services Carrie Hassinger, Family Ambassador Alicia Richardson, Community Ambassador Nicole McMonigle, Director of Culinary Services Alejandro Quintanilla, Director of Plant Operations Jacob Aaron Attebury, Clinical Staff Manager Kayla Willis, Nurse Practitioner Morgan Fellers, and Administrative Assistant Pam Hooker contribute their unique expertise and passion for senior care. Each brings a deep personal commitment to their roles, often inspired by family experiences with dementia and a drive to serve others with patience, compassion, and dedication.
