Silverado Thousand Oaks Memory Care provides a single, focused level of service: memory care. Licensed nurses are on-site around the clock, handling medication management, monitoring vital signs, and responding to health changes as they happen. Each resident receives an individualized care plan overseen by a physician medical director, with regular reviews to adjust for progression of dementia or changing medical conditions. The community coordinates laboratory work, physical, occupational, and speech therapy, and arranges transportation for outside specialist visits when required. Emergency call systems and a staff-to-resident ratio tailored to the acuity level help ensure prompt medical response.
Beyond direct medical attention, the community offers structured cognitive programs designed to slow decline and encourage engagement. Secured indoor and outdoor areas allow residents to move about safely, and the staff is trained in redirection techniques to minimize agitation and wandering. Daily schedules include small-group activities, music therapy, and pet visits intended to maintain social connections. Family members receive ongoing education and support groups to help them stay involved in care decisions and cope with the challenges of dementia.
Residents choose between private or companion suites equipped with safety-oriented bathrooms, emergency pull cords, and individual climate controls. Some units add features such as direct patio access, larger floor plans, or in-room refrigerators, but not all accommodations have all the features mentioned. Housekeeping, personal laundry, and maintenance are included, and Wi-Fi and basic cable are available throughout the building. Pets are allowed. It's a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
Meals are prepared on-site by culinary staff working with a registered dietitian to meet nutrition guidelines and physician-ordered diets. Three set mealtimes are offered each day, with snacks and hydration stations available between meals. Residents who need help eating receive cueing or full assistance, and adaptive utensils are supplied when necessary. Menu options rotate regularly, and texture-modified diets such as puréed or mechanical soft are accommodated without additional charge. Families may join residents for meals with advance notice, allowing for social interaction in a familiar setting.
