SILVERADO OPENING IN JANUARY

ASSISTED LIVING with a difference at Silverado Senior Living-Beverly Place.

Silverado Senior Living-Beverly Place is an assisted living facility with a difference.“We are a medical model in a social setting,” said Daniel Davis, a company ambassador. Nursing care is available around the clock, and there is one caregiver for every seven patients.

When the new Silverado opens officially in January, it will provide 150 rooms for patients suffering from Alzheimer’s or dementia. The three-story building at 330 N. Hayworth Dr. goes the extra step to insure the safety and well-being of its residents, Davis said.

“We are doing everything to engage the patients, to make him or her feel at home,” he explained. A shadow box containing memories is outside the residents’ rooms. “This helps them remember which room is theirs, and it helps the caregiver engage in a conversation about their past,” he added.

Eight private rooms are available; the remaining rooms are for two residents. Each room has an adjoining bath and features an armoire for clothes storage. Laundry service is provided.

Residents can have pets, including dogs, cats, birds. A huge lobby greets the visitor, and adjacent is a visitors’ room patterned after the Polo Lounge at the Beverly Hills Hotel. The dining room seats 150, but residents can enjoy snacks at any time in the second floor kitchen. This will be the site of cooking classes. Art classes are also planned.

Each room has access to sunlight, and a large balcony on the second floor is designed to provide open space for the residents. The area will be supervised, Davis advised.

A St. Andrews Square resident, Davis has worked in a facility for AIDS and drug patients as well in other nursing homes. An enthusiastic advocate for the new Silverado facility, he is contacting doctors and assisted living personnel to inform them about the new facility. Silverado’s 20th residence, it is our showplace, said Davis.
