How Did Silverado Senior Living Start?
Silverado was established in 1996, with the founders asking themselves what kind of care they would want for their own family. The organization describes itself as having led the way in memory care for over 20 years.
When Did Silverado Thousand Oaks Open?
The community opened in March 2021 and is designed to serve up to 82 people with Alzheimer’s disease and other memory-impairing conditions.
What Sets the Property Apart?
The property sits high on a hill in a quiet residential neighborhood, less than two miles from Los Robles Medical Center. Built as new construction, the building uses large windows and skylights to bring in abundant sunshine and natural sunlight.
Outside, the courtyard features a winding walking path and glassed-in outside dining areas. Inside, several multi-purpose rooms host engaging activities, with smaller gathering areas scattered throughout. Wide hallways were designed for easy navigation, and the indoor lighting is specifically calibrated to ease sundowner syndrome. Two restaurant-style dining rooms and open 24/7 bistros round out the dining experience.
When Silverado proposed the community to Thousand Oaks, the city council approved it by a rare unanimous 5-0 vote.
What Services and Programs Does the Community Provide?
Silverado offers three core service categories at the Thousand Oaks community:
Additional resident programs include Silverado Sensory Programs and Purposeful Design — the network’s approach to dementia-friendly building features.
U.S. News’ published profile lists the community-level offerings as engagement activities, eversound, neighborhoods, the Nexus program to improve cognition, intergenerational presence, community pets, memory boxes, gourmet meals, open areas, garden activities, outings, and respite care.

- The community earned a world-class NPS score of 81 from US News and World Report — described by Silverado as industry-leading.

How Is On-Site Medical Care Arranged for Residents?
Doctor2me physicians visit residents directly at the community for routine checkups, chronic condition follow-ups, and urgent issues that don’t warrant an ER trip. Same-day or scheduled visits cover primary care work, alongside the LIC 602 evaluations admission requires.
Families can choose a specific physician from the Doctor2me physician network when continuity with a known doctor matters.
What Happens When Care Needs Progress to End-of-Life?
For residents whose condition progresses to terminal stages, hospice care can be coordinated at the memory care community in-place.
Westlake Village Hospice, Inc., a Medicare-certified hospice agency located in neighboring Westlake Village, serves Ventura, Los Angeles, and Orange Counties with all four levels of Medicare-mandated hospice care — routine home visits, continuous home care during acute symptom crises, respite care, and general inpatient care for complex symptom management.
How Do Families Plan a Dementia Care Path?
