It's not located in a sketchy part of Escondido, but it's also next to a busy street. Staff members seem to know everyone's name by heart.

Silverado Memory Care Escondido is AMAZING!! There is no better place…read more A family friend that was on his own was diagnosed with Vascular Dementia. We began a very long journey down a path we had no experience in. We first moved him into assisted living facilities. He was in assisted living for 2 months and they said he needed to go to memory care. The assisted living place he was in was nice so we moved him into their memory care. Needless to say the memory care was not treating him well. We noticed he felt very agitated and at this point in his disease he was nonverbal so he could not tell us what was wrong. He was a wonderer would walk all the time being it was a small area he kept trying to escape. We started noticing how others were being cared for and knew we had to get him out of there and find a place where he would be well cared for and would be happy. We researched and made a list of highly rated memory care facilities and we began a 2 week tour of many memory care facilities in Escondido, Vista and Rancho Bernardo. We had a list of things we were looking for to find to right facility. 1. Resident to staff ratio by California law it's a max of 5 to 1 we both agreed was way too many for even a highly trained nurse. 2. The attitude of the staff towards the residents 3. Affordability must stay on his budget 4. Cleanliness of the facility. How does it smell? Are the residents clean? 5. Do the residents look happy, is there activities for them to do. 6. Distance from our house being we will be visiting regularly. 7. Reading reviews on line on many different sources As the tours went on we came to understand there is allot of large companies that own multiple facilities and are bought and sold sometimes yearly. It is big business and with that profits can easily become the priority over patient care. You could tell corners were cut, understaffed, and untrained. High employee turnover is a major red flag. Because Silverado had the highest price they were the last one we toured mostly out of curiosity. As soon as we walked in the front door we could tell it was different. Every business has a culture and you feel it when you enter. Very welcoming staff. Many of the staff members have been there over 20 years. If you retain good people it means they are happy and will go the extra mile for the residents. Silverado is clean, organized, daily managers meeting as a former business owner I know how important this is. The lowest resident to caregiver ratio. All others were 5 to 1 California maximum. He liked to walk all the time. He was able to walk all over the facility and walk around outside in the beautiful gardens with paths, setting areas, fruit tree. It was so peaceful and relaxing. The food is really good and presented to the residents like they were going to a very nice restaurant to eat. Fast forward over a year later and hundreds of visits, nothing has changed. Same staff, same clean caring place. And a feeling when you leave from a visit every time that we made the right choice on his care.

My father-in-law stayed in the assisted living section at Escondido Senior Living for about five…read moremonths, and they took great care of him. As his health declined, the staff remained patient and kind. During my regular visits, I never saw or heard a caregiver speak sharply to any resident. Despite his limitations, they always tried to include him in activities and keep him engaged. Although it is a fairly large facility, the staff genuinely seemed to know all the residents by name. Overall, I was very happy with the care he received.

After researching and visiting several options, my sister and I toured Escondido Senior Living--and within five minutes, we knew this was the place for her. The center is exceptionally clean, and every staff member we encountered was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. It immediately felt like home, not just for us, but most importantly, for our mom. After only a few days, we've already seen a remarkable change in her. Her spirit has lifted, and it's truly heartwarming to see her smile again. It feels like life has returned to her--and for that, we are incredibly grateful. Thank you to everyone at Escondido Senior Living who helped make the transition smooth and quick. We couldn't have done it without your support. You've given our mom a fresh start, and we can't thank you enough.

Fortunately, my mom has a very vocal daughter, so the extra set of eyes and voice helped. But I would refer Redwood over all other local places she's stayed to occasionally rehab.

Special nods to some of the nurses and CNA's who went the extra mile to make my mom feel cared for and respected: Tan, Teresa, Luz, & Sylvia. (More names to mention in coming updates)

First, the home is very beautiful and very clean. Our entire family felt so comfortable and welcomed every time we visited. The caregivers are extremely attentive and treated my mother like she was their mother. There was a physical therapist that came in everyday to help my mother walk again. There was a doctor that would come by and see my mother at the home as opposed to having me drive her to see a doctor. My mother is lactose intolerant and the caregivers specially prepared meals just for her and made sure she received her medications on time.
