Silverado Alexandria operates exclusively as a memory care community, structured to address the full spectrum of cognitive decline, including advanced dementia. Care teams are trained to manage residents who wander at any time of day, present elopement risks, or display combative or other challenging behaviors. Support is in place for individuals who stay up all night, use oxygen, require special diets, or are younger than 60. The community also manages diabetes at every intervention level—oral medications, injections, and sliding-scale insulin—ensuring residents receive the required monitoring and dosing.
Round-the-clock medical oversight is standard. A registered or licensed practical nurse is on site 24 hours a day, backed by an awake night shift and staff who have passed background checks. Safety measures include door alarms, a fenced perimeter, pull-cord alert systems, and dedicated security staff. Full-service assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and the team can handle transfers involving walkers, wheelchairs, one-person, or two-person support. Residents also have access to on-site podiatry, and activities are coordinated by a full-time director.
Accommodation options vary. Some suites feature private bathrooms, furnishings, individually controlled heating and cooling, and cable service, and residents may personalize walls with paint or décor. Not every room has every feature, so families should review specific layouts during a tour.
Meals are prepared on a set menu with the option to order alternates, and snacks are available throughout the day. The culinary team can modify textures, portion sizes, and nutritional content to align with physician-ordered diet plans or resident preferences.
The campus offers resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, and is wheelchair accessible. Amenities include a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, and on-site religious services. Transportation is provided, and the property is close 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.
