    I will be eternally grateful for Silverado Barton Springs and all the love they showed to my daughter, Elizabeth Grim.

    Elizabeth is the oldest of my four children. She has an exceedingly rare mitochondrial disease and her primary symptoms are brain atrophy and dementia. She was a 19 year old college sophomore on academic scholarship at Rhodes college when she had a seizure that made us aware of an underlying condition. We spend a year in and out of hospitals before receiving a diagnosis and with that clarity that there was no treatment for her.

    We entered a search to help her live her best life for what remained. She started at Stewart Home and School were she spent her days riding horses, painting, participating in special olympic sports and working for the Kentucky legislature. While working there she received Kentucky’s highest civilian honor of “Kentucky Colonel” from the governor of Kentucky.

    After two years at Stewart Home her condition had become so acute that we needed to bring her back close to home in Austin.

    We met a dozen care facilities in Austin. We wanted her to have the best care possible for what we expected to be a very short life. After visiting everything Austin had to offer we hoped Silverado would take her. The staff there took a chance on her. She is not the typical client. Silverado took a risk and I remember crying in the library as they told me they would take care of her.

    Elizabeth showed up at Silverado in a desperate state. She was 22 years old, weighed 104 pounds (at over 5′ 9″ tall) and was frequently upset and confused. She spent nearly 2 years at that campus. She LOVED it. She was loved, fulfilled and well cared for. She has now “graduated” to Marbridge foundation in Austin. She has much more access to activities and is able to enjoy horses and sports again. Your staff can tell you I cried and cried as we left Silverado. I thought that was the last place she would live. I thought her life would be measured in months not years.

    Your staff extended her life. Your staff gave her life again. Your staff gave her love.

    I really love everyone there. Special thank you to Madison, Michelle, and Letha, but everyone was beyond wonderful to my girl.

    When CareFor encounters an individual who has the need for individualized dementia care, our first thought is Silverado Barton Springs. Some people drift comfortably into the need for memory care, others struggle mightily. These are the special cases where daily evaluation of care, medications, and interactions is critical to success. With 24-hour on-site nursing, we have the confidence that Silverado’s critical eye will remain focused to achieve a stability. They have been a comfort to patients, families, and professionals.

    Debbie Pearson
    Founder of CareFor

    Words can hardly describe how excited I am that Silverado is back in Austin and Michelle Neumann will be its Administrator once again!  They were a lamplight to my parents and my life at a time when I had nearly given up hope. Their homelike atmosphere is real and sets it apart from any others I have seen.  For instance, their policies of allowing staff to bring their children to work and having pets that can live there all contribute to making it a ‘village.’  Families are always welcome visitors and can share meals with their loved ones.  They are even given the opportunity to get to know other families in social settings outside of Silverado.  At Silverado the care doesn’t just stop with your loved one, it includes you!

    Silverado Family Member

    As a care manager in Austin, Texas, I am thrilled that the gold standard in dementia care is returning – Silverado.  How can a family go wrong with a company whose motto is ‘Love is greater than fear?’ I have observed countless examples of people with dementia having some unmet needs at home or other communities. When they enter Silverado, everyone gets them – housekeepers, dining servers, caregivers, nurses, etc.  They flourish in the environment!  Welcome back, Silverado!

    Every year Silverado families are surveyed by U.S. News & World Report about their experience with us. Here are just a few comments shared by verified Silverado Barton Springs family members when surveyed:

    “Silverado has become a second home to me and my family. With both of my parents suffering from Alzheimer’s Disease, there have been many dark times during which the entire staff at Silverado Barton Springs surrounded us with so much love, especially when my mom passed away. At the beginning of this journey, I never thought I’d be able to take time to myself for fear my parents would be mistreated or neglected, but then I found Silverado, and to my delight, they proved me wrong! I miss my dad when I can’t visit, but I don’t worry for one second about the care he is receiving because it’s the absolute best. When I visit, I usually find him hanging out at the nurses’ station, chatting with the nurses and caregivers. The entire staff loves my dad, and he loves them right back, as do I. My dad can still have conversations to some degree and always makes it a point to brag about the staff and the excellent care he receives. I can not begin to express my gratitude for this place and the people who make it up!”

    “Mom is well cared for and safe. I don’t have to worry she will leave, get lost, or harm herself. The facility is great, the staff is great. Highly recommend.”

    “We had mom at a Brookdale facility that wasn’t much less expensive but Silverado is order of magnitude better in every facet- care, activities, nursing, communication, food. Everything is way better and we sleep better knowing she is so well cared for. Management at previous facility was horrible but management at Silverado is top not leading to a vastly superior environment.”

    “Mama is happy enough to ditch me when an activity calls!”
