Americare Health and Retirement, Inc.

I had a wonderful time at a "Vegas Wednesday" afternoon with an Elvis impersonator, hors d'oeuvres, a cocktail bar, and lots of prizes. The food was delicious, the staff was warm and receptive, and the building is immaculate. The reception area has beautiful chandeliers, large chairs, and a baby grand piano. They really go the "extra mile" to ensure that their residents are happy. I am planning to move in as soon as I sell my house!

This is a beautiful home for people looking for a Assisted Living home or for people with Alzheimer's and Dementia. Silvergate offers both Assisted Living and Memory care. I have been comming here for a year. Silvergate is always spotless, the staff is caring and competent, and the residents are always extremely happy. Every time I walk in, I'm greeted by the community. And the food here is fabulous. If you are looking for a relaxing and yet enjoyable life after retirement then this is the place for you. And for those who think there is no life after Alzheimer's I guarantee you here at Silvergate there is.

My grandmother will be moving into this facility in a couple of months. Gay Rose was extremely helpful and informative. It is nicely decorated, clean and the staff were all courteous. There is a variety of events and outings to help keep the community engaged. The food was wonderful! Several levels of care are available, from completely independent living to memory care. There is an "a la carte" pricing for extra help so residents are only paying for the services they truly need. Looking forward more experiences with Silvergate!

Moved our mom from another community in Lake San Marcos & couldn't be happier! Staff and residents have made her feel welcome & at home. She is no longer living in "dullsville" and enjoys the many activities offered at Silvergate. We appreciate that staff have supported her and our family every step of the way, and communicate with us regularly. We have peace of mind that mom is happy, treated with respect and is well cared for. She loves Silvergate... And so do we!

My mother has been at Silvergate Suites San Marcos for over one year. We looked at several alternatives before choosing Silvergate. Some had newer facilities. Some were less expensive. We chose Silvergate for its excellence in: . activities: seniors are engaged and active; field trips; . cleanliness: exceptional for this type facility; . caring staff: some variance, but mostly very good; . management: involved, quick to address problems; . medication management: well-run; . dining: good quality, well presented; . surprisingly affordable for the quality program offered; . outside entertainment and cultural programs. We have no regrets. My mother is happy with Silvergate. And, so is the family.

Very comfortable. Nice surrounding in Fallbrook. Great programs and people. Respite $135 a day minimum 1 wk.

We spent six months looking for "the right" place for an elderly relative who, we were told, no longer could stay in her assisted/independent facility. We visited 13 facilities/programs for those with dementia or Alzheimer's Disease. and this was by far the best we found. It was designed by doctors who work with elderly patients with dementia, in conjunction with architects. The environment is "circular" rather than linear (no long hallways with doors that all look the same). There are 4 double rooms and 2 private rooms in each "neighborhood" or "group," so 10 people share the living room, family/dining area and fireplace onto which each unit opens. There is a larger room beyond that common area where exercise or other activities take place. Residents are welcome in all of the group areas, and also have access to outside walking trails, a gazebo and nice plants, places to sit and relax, etc, in a safe environment that feels more "open" than "locked." Some of the big "outer" rooms in each area have tables for cards and other games - each is a bit different than the others and named for a particular country that also influences pictures and other decore. To the extent possible, each group is at a similar functional level so the residents are comfortable with others who are like them in what they can do, etc. Everyone is known by name. The activities are appropriate to what each resident can do comfortably. There is no "funny smell" we noticed in several facilities in the "memory unit," even if not in the other areas of the retirement community. In many of these places, those needing memory care seemed to be "tacked on" to the other retirement living services offered - and they were noticeably NOT WITH the rest of those who lived in the community. Silvergate does offer independent and assisted living, but those are in an entirely different building. Those needing memory care live in a building that was designed for people who - unfortunately - have declining mental abilities and memory. They do not have to see other "nicer" areas when someone comes to take them out for awhile. If I ever get that diagnosis, I have asked my grown children to find me a place close to at least one of them and as much like Silvergate as possible.

I selected Silvergate based on recomendations and a tour of the facility. It is a small, friendly community and easy for both my parents, who are 83, to navigate. The food is wonderful and the menu choices are suitable to those living there. I love that they have a Thursday Evening Church Service and go with my parents regularly. The staff is very helpful and willing to work with your particular needs. It's the type of place that I would want to retire to when I am not able to live fully on my own!

I was looking for a place for my aunt moving from Fl ,Natalie , the nicest ,lady from "A place from mom" , was extremely helpful to us booking 2 appts , in the first day sop we got in love with Silvergates , David Nelson , called me back to confirm the apt, then show the place , very kind and caring person , very personable . My aunt loves the place , she said is very clean , people are very loving and caring , the food is very good , they have very interesting and great activities , every where are flowers , she is very impressed with it . She is very picky lady , very educated and traveled and that means double points for the place . Everybody is very special with her , she loves Jerry and the rest of the receptionists , and care givers(Rose and Lidiat) . Very happy also with the salon services for her hair .

We've been really happy with it. I like that it isn't a really large place. It's family owned and they owner is there every week with his son. They're really hands-on. Everybody knows everybody. They know me by name even though it's only been two weeks. I think they've got everything dialed in.

My loved one's meals are brought to them in their room, there is a charge for this. However, the food is served cold by the time my loved ones receive their food. There is no way to reheat the meals due to health reasons of my loved one. We don't know why the food is served cold. If the residents are able to go to the dining room, it is beneficial to have the food served hot. The community is bringing in health services, and this may increase the cost. However, this will help with the care of my loved ones staying in the community. The parking is not good for visitors. The community is near a high school and the high school takes all the close parking to the community. This is a real determent to Silvergate. The weekend parking is decent for visitors. The community does have a large staff. It is also beautiful and they have soothing music that plays. The community checks temperatures of the residents daily, and will do COVID tests at least once a week. They also provide laundry service for the residents. There is housekeeping and linen services as well.

They are very good. They seem to care for their people.

The entire staff has been extremely helpful accomodate my mother's needs during this time especially [name removed] who I contact on most day to assist in getting things to my mother's room. Upon discharge since her room AC was still out and no expectation of repair and [name removed], the director, had to move my mother and her furniture to another room. [name removed] had to make the official transfer of service and due to a glitch in the process, a staff member, I believe [name removed], worked with the COX tech to get everything up an running. During this quarantine-no visitors time if have been difficult for me not to take care of my mother's minor needs and now have to rely on the staff who have gone above and beyond. I consider the entire staff and our extended family.

Fantastic home environment. Caring staff, lots of fun activities. Welcoming and friendly.

Silvergate San Marcos is one of the best Retirement communities in North County. Great staff always focused on delivering the best in class services for our seniors!

Overall, Silvergate Retirement Residence was a very nice community. The staff was very nice and welcoming, and the our guide have us good information. The facility was clean and seemed to be maintained very well.

The Silvergate Retirement Residence was very comparable to the community that we ended up going with. During my tour, I noticed that it was very clean and well maintained. Everyone was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Silvergate offered wonderful and caring services for our Uncle. The move-in was easy and the apartment well managed and clean. Nursing services were excellent. In fact, our Uncle flourished in their care to the point that he is able to return to his home in Los Angeles. As a professional case manager, I spent many days touring a variety of ALF in the San Diego County area. By far, Silvergate, Fallbrook surpassed the others by a wide margin. I was most impressed by the communication among the staff, our Uncle and ourselves. We utilized most of the Assisted Living Services in the beginning and then tapered off as our Uncle regained his health. All services met our expectations. Thank you to everyone for their kindnesses and superb service.

My mothers move to Silvergate could not have been better. What she and her children dreaded has turned into a new lease on life for her. All staff at Silvergate could not be more friendly and accommodating and the place is spotless. My mothers attitude and health in general has improved dramatically since arriving at Silvergare approximately 6 weeks ago.

In the past year, my parents joined the Silvergate community. Silvergate is a relatively small facility, so it has been easy for them to make some great friendships and to participate in some of the activities. Meals are a big part of their daily activity. They enjoy the socializing as well as the ability to choose from good and varied options on the menu. One thing that you will notice about Silvergate is that the staff are happy to work there. That makes a big difference. The staff in all areas are welcoming, attentive, and caring. The bottom line is that my parents are happy and enjoying themselves at Silvergate.
