I toured this facility today with my mom. Monica was amazing who toured us. I noticed that the residents were very happy and kind. Staff very friendly. I hope they can get my mom in. It felt magical and in my heart a great match. Thank you Monica for being so kind and loving.

Silvergate San Marcos Is a way of living for the elderly who need a little bit of assistance and still want to have their independence and also a real good time. Silvergate is very affordable for all that you get, 3 meals a day (delicious meals) , laundry, housekeeping just to mention a few. My mom moved in last month with her kitty, into a 1 bedroom apt which has plenty of room for all her furniture and decorations she wanted to take. she is 96 yrs young and was living on her own and since moving in she has made new friends and has a new lease on life she loves it there.They have lots of fun events happening daily and they take fun excursions they keep busy, she is always thanking us for her move. The staff is more like family they know everyone s name and are there to help, such a friendly Environment. our family is very happy to be a part of Silvergate San Marcos family.

Silvergate San Marcos was fabulous. It had beautiful rooms, the people were lovely, and it had great accommodations. If I had to go someplace, I'd go there in a heartbeat. The person who gave the tour was lovely, she was very informative, very sweet, and a very nice young lady. I haven't tried the food but the menus looked great. They told us what they do and the features that they have there. They have a wine tasting room which was fabulous. It's near a school and that was one of the downfalls because when you're sitting outside you can hear the noise from the school.

Our friends are very happy that they chose Silvergate San Marcos. They enjoy the gourmet meals, caring and friendly staff and the beautiful facilities. There are many activities to choose from daily. There are lots of meal choices and the holiday buffet table is a wonderful sight with decorations and food. They have a lovely apartment with a separate bedroom and living room with a beautiful garden patio. The staff is friendly and attentive and always helpful. It’s great to have peace of mind to know they are happy and well cared for!

I thought Silvergate San Marcos did a very professional job. It was definitely a facility that we would consider for my mom, if we get to that point. We looked at a 1-bedroom apartment which was spacious and actually had two baths. They have a library, a TV room, a dining room, a big reception area, and an exercise room. The residents seemed to be active and doing activities, so it was very nice.

The building's exterior has just been repainted and they replaced the awnings, they are continuing to make improvements to the inside of the building, the staff is very friendly and the community feels like a big family. Because of the correct social distancing precautions the residents have not been locked down and even have live entertainment. We always enjoy visiting.

Silvergate is a wonderful place. Both my father and mother have been or are residents in San Marcos for the past 8 years. The important things (food, care and safety) are great. I guess the only unfavorable comment I’d make is that over the years, the staffing levels have declined causing phone calls and emails to not be returned quite as quickly as they were years ago. But they don’t hesitate to raise the rent every year... All in all, we know it is a business and they need to make a reasonable profit. If I had another parent to place, I would without hesitation consider Silvergate a great option.

My mother was a resident at Silvergate for 7 years. We loved that she was there and was able to interact and makes friends in a wonderful environment. She loved the Exercise Classes, Bible Readings, and special events that were scheduled regularly. They have a beautiful center Courtyard so that residents can sit out in the shade and visit with friends and family. Their buffets for all the Holidays were delicious! Staff was always friendly and helpful! It's a beautiful place to live!!

The decision to move our beloved Mom in to an Assisted Living environment was not easy by any measure and moving her to the Memory Care when it was clear that she needed the extra care was not either. However, the wonderful and extraordinary staff and crew at Silvergate San Marcos made that decision easier for us and more importantly gave us all the reassurance that our lovely Mom would be taken care of, loved and watched over with tender, compassionate and professional care. Thank you Silvergate!!

My uncle moved into the memory care unit at Silvergate San Marcos. It’s set up in clusters so each bedroom opens right into the living and dining space, so there's not a whole lot of walking. They offer activities like singing, music, and road trips. They offer three meals a day and snacks. They do the laundry. The caregivers could be a little bit more personable and involved.

Silvergate San Marcos was a beautiful place. The rooms were nicer than the other rooms we had seen. The low end of the price was within our range, but when we got in there, we learned that they had a lot of added expenses like in medication, and everything was an add on. The facility looked very nice, but it was out of our price range. It looked more like a hotel.

Everything was very good at Silvergate, and I was happy with it. However, it was too expensive. I met with the marketing person, and she was very nice. I thought they had a good range of activities. The location was convenient.

I like Silvergate San Marcos because they are like in a village system. The bedrooms open to a center living room rather than residents walking down the long narrow hallway, which I think would scare Alzheimer's people. This seems more like a home environment. They offer someone there 24 hours, and a nurse is always on duty at night, which is important to me. They are very caring. They organized a piano recital, and it was interesting to watch the nurses work with the patients to get them to agree to go watch it. They're very patient and very caring. My brother has not yet moved in, but we're on the list.

Silvergate Retirement was very nice. I had lunch with them, and I was happy with the whole operation. The rooms were like a little hotel room, but they were good enough. The food was good, and the people were nice. The one thing I did not like was the location. It was kind of hard to find.

Silvergate called me right after I sent the email asking for assistance. My mother is doing well, and she really likes it there. It was small, privately owned, and affordable. It wasn’t flashy, and it’s just 12 minutes from where I live.

Silvergate had really good pricing, but they were definitely the oldest facility I've seen. Unfortunately for me, the location did not feel very secure in that area. It looked like an apartment complex. The rooms were on the small size. Their shower was basically an old plastic tub, but they cut down the side so you could step in. It was like four or five inches off the ground, which my mother-in-law could not step up onto at all.

Silvergate Retirement is just not as nice as others. They had several dining areas that were just OK. There's nothing wrong with them, but they're just not as nice.

Silvergate had wide, open spaces for people to wander, especially in memory care. The assisted living is separate from memory care, and that’s great. Everything was great. Their rooms were great and spacious. The memory care rooms were shared rooms, which is fine, with a divider at the middle that makes a huge difference. The head nurse of the caregivers really tried to partner up the roommates with someone on the same level of memory care needs. The assisted living facility has small kitchenettes so to speak, and balconies. They had a big laundry room and the services that you wanted.

I have been to Silvergate and liked everything about it except the location. I thought the rooms were very nice, not as modern as some of the others, but very adequate. They didn't have a view. They just looked out on another building and that was disturbing to me. I don't want to live like that. There were very little grounds. There's an extremely small center courtyard, but you just come out the door and you're on the road. Beyond the building, it was just parking lots and other buildings. I liked everything else about it. The people working there seemed to be very caring and gave a really good impression.

We looked at Silvergate San Marcos. I’m looking for a smaller place for my mother, and Silvergate was perfect. We had a room and everything, so I brought her down, but she said, “That’s nice but I’m not moving.“ The staff was very nice. I think the marketing manager showed us around; it was very nice. The rooms are very nice. The living room area has a shower and a toilet, and a bedroom has a shower and a toilet. We like the one that has a little patio and my mom likes that because she wants to sit outside. It was very nice, and it was what we were looking for. They have bridge, they have discussion groups, and they are doing exercise with a group. I like the community because it is small, it is very clean, and everybody knows each other.

Silvergate San Marcos was out toward the desert -- not all that far out but far enough. I have to give a low score for location. The rooms were adequate. The staff was very helpful, and the dining area was neat.

Silvergate Retirement Residence seems fine. They were certainly very easy to work with. I like the layout that they have which is kind of individual. It makes it smaller and makes it quieter. I didn't choose them because I just didn't get a good feel for the care workers. They seemed nice, and I liked the cost. I think the cost is really nice. I can't tell why; there is just something about the staff that I didn't get a good enough feeling about. They are pretty good. They are just not quite right for me.

I like Silvergate San Marcos very much. I have been going over there for quite a while with several people from my village. It is a very clean and very friendly community. Everybody there is very friendly. They make you feel welcome. They have all kinds of activities and we were even invited to attend some of them. Just recently, we went to their luau party and I had fun there. We were also invited to some of their trips. I've also tried eating there and food is good.

The administrative staff is cold, and does not take accountability for their mistakes. I have also found the administrator to be condescending. She needs to do her homework before if she feels she needs to tell a pharmaceutical executive what ADLs stand for! The people working with the residents all seem very nice, but that does not make up for the lack of compassion in the administration office....
