My Mother has been here since June 2022. I saw a change in her within a few weeks. She is so happy and engaged with the staff and other residents. This facility really succeeds in having activities and social events for the residents. They even had miniature horses come visit. Thank you to all the wonderful staff!

I just recently went on an outing to a winery with their residents and staff and it was a lovely afternoon. Well organized and their community is very clean and tastefully decorated. Staff is very personal, fun and warm!

We recently moved our 96 year old Mother into Silvergate San Marcos. Mom didn’t want to move, but she agreed to. While she was still at her home, she was saying that she was ready ‘to go’. After a week at Silvergate, she is saying she has a new lease on life and thinks she can make it to 100! I stayed with her at Silvergate to help get her settled and I am very impressed. Everyone that works there is very kind and compassionate, it feels like a family. The food is delicious and there are always activities to fill the day. Thanks to Silvergate for creating such a caring, nurturing environment. Debi V.

I have a very good lady friend staying in Silvergate. During this Pandemic time, it is the safest place she can be. I'm so glad she is there. Her rooms and living quarters are lovely and a good fit for her. She has had to ask for half portions since the meals are so good she started to gain weight. A nice problem, eh? The team is doing its best to keep the folks happy and entertained during this awful time in our history. To sum it up, this is the very best place my lady friend can be!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful I think Silvergate is. I was power of attorney for long-time family friend who spent the last three and a half years of her life there, (including celebrating reaching triple digits) and am power of attorney for her son with mild cognitive impairment, who has lived independently since he was in his early 20s, but is now benefiting from (thriving in) the family atmosphere there. Staff is caring and compassionate, facilities sparkling clean and pleasant, activities well-planned and plentiful. Silvergate is large enough to allow for many and new friendships, but small enough to have an intimate feeling. Communication has been excellent. Honestly, I couldn't ask for a better setting for either of my friends, each of whom with very different needs. Management goes above and beyond to make the Silvergate life a superb one, including welcoming those of us who live elsewhere as extended family.

We chose Silvergate San Marcos for my mom and myself because several other people where we presently live have gone there and they said they like it a lot. The fellow who represented Silvergate, David Nelson, was very personable. He was the major contributing factor in our decision. The staff was very friendly and personable, so we had a positive experience. The food is very good. The rooms are basically studios that can be adjusted to fit our needs, so we have two studios that are connected by a door in the middle. It would be nice though to have a little more space.

Silvergate San Marcos has really wonderful staff, and my visit was great. I like that the place is a little smaller and not too big. It's well-maintained and everyone was super friendly. The 1-bedroom that we were interested in was really great, and it was the biggest one we saw, which is wonderful. The person who showed us around was amazing. It was the best tour we've had. They have the standard activities, someone would come in to exercise, watch movies, there are beauty salon appointments, and they take the residents out shopping and so on. They provide three meals a day, and they have an anytime dining type of thing. So if you want to go with a traditional lunch or dinner they have a menu that you can order off any time of the day.

We just moved mom into Silvergate San Marcos. It's a good place. It's small with 92 people instead of over 100, so that's nice. It's in a really nice location compared to some of the others. The other Silvergate was remote and far away from a lot of the activities, doctors' offices, and shopping. This place is smaller and it just seemed closer to what she was looking for. It's very family oriented, which means the people there kind of adopt each other. They take care of each other, they watch out for each other, and they play with each other. It's just a real close community. She is upstairs in a unit that is far from the elevator and there's only one elevator. She has to walk a long way to get to the elevator and at 92 that's a little tough, but she's doing it. She's on a list to move into a unit downstairs that's closer to everything. The staff is wonderful. The food is absolutely delicious, and even though it's plenty of food, there are only two choices. There's something going on all day every day. It's just a little expensive.

Silvergate San Marcos was OK, but we weren't that impressed with it. It was definitely not on the top of our list. It seemed like an older facility. They didn't really have the amenities that some of the others have and the location wasn't terrific. It didn't appeal to us.

Silvergate San Marcos was very nice and the staff was also nice. They had activities like parties. They had a theater, a library, a dining room, a laundry room, and an outdoor patio.

We found Silvergate in San Marcos. I like the way it is run and I like the fact that it is not like a national organization. There are only two or three facilities and the owner is hands-on. They have activities my mom wanted. It is better for independent living than some of the others even though it has the option where you do need more care. It is really good for my mom. As per my mom’s conversation, she said the food is not as good as her old place, but it is getting better. She thinks the people at Silvergate are much friendlier, too.
