Silverado Tustin Hacienda provides dedicated memory care for residents at all stages of cognitive decline, including advanced dementia. The team is equipped to manage wandering behaviors both day and night, elopement risk, combativeness, and other behavioral issues. Clinical protocols are in place for residents who are up all night, require wound care, need supplemental oxygen, or must follow special diets. The community also supports adults under 60 and manages diabetes at every level—oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin.
Round-the-clock clinical oversight is part of daily life. A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on site 24 hours a day, backed by an on-call nurse for additional coverage. Background-checked staff remain awake through the night, and an activity director tailors programs to therapeutic goals. Safety measures include fenced front and rear areas, alarmed doors, WanderGuard systems, and in-room pull cords that alert staff. On-site podiatry and acceptance of psychiatric conditions round out medical services. Caregivers provide full assistance with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting, and they handle transfers ranging from walker and wheelchair support to two-person and Hoyer-lift moves for bed-bound residents.
Housing options can include private bathrooms, furnished rooms, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the freedom to paint or decorate to personal taste, although not every room offers every feature. Floor plans are designed for easy navigation and quick staff access, which is important for residents who may wander or need rapid assistance.
Meals are offered through both set menus and made-to-order selections, with snacks available throughout the day. Dietary modifications are routinely managed to address diabetes, texture needs, and physician-ordered restrictions, ensuring residents receive the nutrition plan prescribed for their condition.
Residents have access to parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, a wellness center, internet connectivity, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation with proximity to public transit. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
