Through its donors, the Silverado Foundation pays tribute to those touched by memory impairing diseases and end of life care. It accomplishes this by supporting the development of professionals in memory care, hospice and related supporting staff through the advancement of education, knowledge and skills.
Created and supported by Silverado Senior Living Holdings, a provider of memory and hospice care, the Silverado Foundation is a non-profit organization extending Silverado’s mission to change the world in how memory care and end-of-life services are delivered. The Foundation is funded by generosity of grateful families, Silverado Associates and broad based community support, given in appreciation of the special care provided to Silverado’s residents, patients and the greater community. Since the inception of the Foundation over 15 years ago, 100% of each dollar contributed has gone to further the purpose of the Foundation.
