Silvergate Retirement Residence - San Marcos
I would rate all categories a 5. I was really happy with Silvergate. My husband was only there 3 1/2 months before he passed but I had only good experiences with them. He had a shared room so while it was expensive, it wasn't as bad as other places

We toured a place in Carlsbad that was much more expensive but looked more institutionalized. Silvergate is much more homey, broken down into neighborhoods. Also, staff ratios were much better. I visit very frequently and have become familiar with staff. I am happy that my husband looks well-kept and shaven, too.

I have nothing to compare this to. First time (and hopefully last) I have used a memory care facility for a loved one. My biggest "like" are the people. The staff is very kind and keeps us informed. The lead nurse upstairs in my mother's area is incredibly helpful and kind. My biggest "dislike" is the patients not being engaged all the time. I know it is hard, time consuming and if they don't want to do something you can't make them, but I wish my mother was taken out more often. Hard with memory care patients but for the money we are paying I think it is doable and could help immensely with their attitudes and health.

Experience was great. [name removed] ended up moving to Silvergate. Unfortunately, his health got worse as he lived there and he passed away last June. The reason for the 4 for quality- [name removed] had rechargeable hearing aids which they would not allow him to charge in his room. The medication tech was supposed to give them to him first thing in the morning with his medication, but they would forget sometimes, or they would give them to him uncharged. I had to test them to determine they were not charged, and apparently they weren't putting them on the charger at night. The first month or so I visited him often and complained about that, because dementia gets worse if a person can't hear. The other complaint is they wouldn't keep a bottle of water in his room. He had kidney disease and needed to drink a lot of water. He would never ask for water, and they would never offer it except at meal time, so he was only drinking at meal time. His doctor wanted him to have access to water at all times, and be encouraged to drink. I brought over bottles of water several times, and asked that they fill them up, but they would always be thrown away. Some staff was very difficult to talk to because their English skills were poor. As far as value, it was about [fee removed] a month for a private room, plus a [fee removed] move-in fee. Than any other place. We chose it due to location, as it was close enough for my mom to visit frequently. We expected our requests to be honored considering the price we were paying.

My loved one was previously a resident at Silvergate and the experience was terrible. I would not recommend this facility to others.

I am the friend and DPOA for a resident in The Suites at Silvergate San Marcos. I visit quite a bit and I have always found all of the staff to be friendly, attentive and most of all, caring. Whether it's someone at the front desk, a nurse, medtech, caregiver or activity planner, they are all first rate. The facility is very well designed with six small "villages" each with about six residents. So a caregiver has only six residents to care for and there is backup available in case someone needs extra care as is often the case with memory care patients.

Choosing Silvergate San Marcos for myself has been an incredibly positive experience. From the moment I entered the facility, the warm and inviting atmosphere was evident. The staff's dedication to creating a caring and supportive environment is truly commendable. The living spaces are thoughtfully designed, combining comfort and accessibility. All residents are encouraged to personalize their living areas, creating a sense of home that is so important for our well-being. The common areas are hubs of activity, fostering a strong sense of community among the residents. What truly sets Silvergate apart is the attentive and compassionate staff. They go above and beyond to ensure each resident's individual needs are met, providing assistance with daily activities while respecting their independence. The staff's genuine concern for the well-being of the residents is evident in every interaction. The diverse range of activities and events is another highlight. I highly recommend Silvergate

We feel very comfortable with our dad being at Silvergate. The facility far exceeded our expectations! The staff is caring, kind and involved. They are very welcoming when we go to visit our dad. We always feel well informed about how he's doing and what his needs are. The level of care he is receiving is top notch and we could not ask for anything better than that! We are very happy with Silvergate!

My parents have lived here 2 years. THE ELEVATOR DOESN'T WORK 60% of the time. They tell me in case of an emergency they'll carry my 300 lb father down stairs. Also, the water goes off weekly. The ac didn't work during the hottest season and they're grossly short staffed. I put my parents in here for peace of mind, having had cancer myself and I've taken them to MORE appointments than I ever did!!! There's no one here to help. Weekends? No staff... fishsticks?! REALLY?! Upon completion of this review, they're still begging me to remove it and threatening my GRIEVING father with eviction over the truth!!!! BTW, don't pay any attention to response from [name removed]! She'll pee on you and tell you it's raining. They've begged me to take down this true review... as my mother died and they're threatening dad, not allowing him to grieve. She literally walked into his room and told him he couldn't leave soon enough for her! Animals. I am paying more but it's worth every penny!

We toured the facility and were surprised at how clean it was and it felt very warm. They did a good job in giving us all the information we needed and all the staff we met were very friendly as well.

We recently moved a dear family member into Silvergate Memory Care and we are so happy we did! The facility and all the staff is wonderful and professional. They have responded to all our questions and concerns right away. I am always able to call and speak to her by phone, her sister is always welcome to visit in person. We have peace of mind knowing she is in such caring hands.

Been friends of residents here at this community for years and it’s always been well managed and clean. They recently renovated much of the community, so it looks even better than ever! I would highly recommend this community and trust their local owners who seem to really care.

As someone who has seen a fair share of memory care’s, I am blown away by Silvergate San Marcos’ neighborhood “Suites” concept. It makes it feel like a warm, welcoming community from the moment you enter and removes all negative connotations associated with “memory care” living. From the moment you walk through this communities doors, you feel like you’re at home. The staff is attentive, warm, and compassionate. This community has left a favorable lasting impression with me and wish more organizations would operate with the same standards. I highly recommend this community if you are looking for a loved one!

So far we've been very happy with Silvergate. The staff is very nice and accommodating. I like the level of communication they give us, and they always respond to any questions we have. The care of our loved one has been going well. They do well with activities overall. I would just like to see more variation in activities for higher functioning residents in memory care.

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.

Our family had an in person tour and the community was very glitzy and glam and for our husband that was just not going to be a great git. There was also not much of an outside area.

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:
Know California’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about California’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.
Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.
Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
