Silverado San Juan Capistrano focuses exclusively on Memory Care and is prepared to manage a wide range of medical needs that often accompany cognitive decline. The team is trained to support residents who wander at any hour, exhibit elopement risk, show combative or other behavioral issues, stay up all night, or live with advanced dementia. Clinical oversight extends to wound care, oxygen management, and specialized diets, with protocols in place for residents under 60 years old. Diabetic care covers oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin, ensuring continuity of treatment without outside transfers.
Round-the-clock nursing coverage includes both an on-site RN/LPN and an on-call nurse, backed by background-checked staff who remain awake through the night. A secured, fenced perimeter, alarmed doors, and in-room pull cords help safeguard residents prone to wandering. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and staff can handle any mobility level—from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer lift transfers for bed-bound residents. On-site medical services such as podiatry are complemented by acceptance of psychiatric issues, and an activity director coordinates daily programs that align with residents’ cognitive abilities.
Accommodations range from furnished suites with private bathrooms to rooms that residents can personalize with their own décor; some feature independent temperature controls. Because layouts vary, not every room includes every feature, so it is best to confirm details during a tour.
Dining offers both set menus and made-to-order options, with snacks available throughout the day. The culinary team manages physician-ordered diet modifications, from low-sodium plans to diabetic and texture-altered meals, to match each resident’s medical requirements.
Residents have access to on-site parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, internet connectivity, communal gardens, and regularly scheduled religious services. Transportation services and proximity to public transit support off-site appointments and outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
