Our Nexus chefs made delicious sushi to enjoy for a cultural happy hour!

We enjoyed a full Japanese cultural experience from making sushi, to joining a meditating step by step tutorial on one of Japans most known flowers!

It didn’t stop there! The only way to give a full Japanese experience was to eat our sushi with chopsticks🥢

Support for Silverado

As a long time resident and practicing physician in Brea and Fullerton, I am delighted to express my support for the Silverado Brea Development Project.

Silverado has been lauded with countless awards for its quality and innovation in memory care. From Medicare, 5-STAR Rating, from the OC Register, Top Workplace 2016, the 2016 Alzheimer’s Association Corporate Award and the Hospice Action network Advocacy Innovator Award.

The quality of such an enterprise must be a reflection of its leadership. Loren Shook, Silverado CEO, loves what he does. Bringing dignity and meaning to the lives and families of those with dementia is a challenge that Loren embraced at an early age, and his remarkable success reflects his values of caring for the most vulnerable.

    Why choose Silverado?

    Open/close panel
    Open/close panel

    Many families shared the peace of mind they experienced when they finally chose Silverado after wrestling with feelings of guilt that comes from deciding to reach out for help. Even a family working together cannot replicate what an expert team of professionals who do this for a living and get to go home at night and rest can provide. Even superhuman strength eventually gives out. Once families make a move to Silverado and see that their loved one is better off and they can sleep again, the common refrain is, “I should have moved my loved one in earlier.” They are relieved to be the daughter, son, husband, or wife again and not the caregiver.

    We want to reassure you that we understand that no one knows your loved one more than you do. We are the experts in what we do, having led the way in memory care for over 20 years. Families have shared they recognized that a delay in placement is a delay in care in treating this illness, and we know that a delay can result in a dangerous crisis for the exhausted caregiver or your loved one. Do not wait for an emergency. We invite you to give us a call at (714) 598-2052 and schedule a time to visit Silverado Brea.

    In fact, we’re so confident that Silverado is the best choice to provide for your loved one’s needs we offer a satisfaction pledge unequaled in memory care.

    We look forward to meeting you soon.
