    Why choose Silverado?

    Open/close panel
    Open/close panel

    Many families shared the peace of mind they experienced when they finally chose Silverado after wrestling with feelings of guilt that comes from deciding to reach out for help. Even a family working together cannot replicate what an expert team of professionals who do this for a living and get to go home at night and rest can provide. Even superhuman strength eventually gives out. Once families make a move to Silverado and see that their loved one is better off and they can sleep again, the common refrain is, “I should have moved my loved one in earlier.” They are relieved to be the daughter, son, husband, or wife again and not the caregiver.

    We want to reassure you that we understand that no one knows your loved one more than you do. We are the experts in what we do, having led the way in memory care for over 20 years. Families have shared they recognized that a delay in placement is a delay in care in treating this illness, and we know that a delay can result in a dangerous crisis for the exhausted caregiver or your loved one. Do not wait for an emergency. We invite you to give us a call at (714) 832-7900 and schedule a time to visit Silverado Tustin Hacienda.

    In fact, we’re so confident that Silverado is the best choice to provide for your loved one’s needs we offer a satisfaction pledge unequaled in memory care.

    We look forward to meeting you soon.

    Erin joins our Silverado family with over nine years of management and research experience specializing in dementia care. After four years of mild cognitive impairment research at the San Diego Veterans Affairs Hospital, Erin was recruited for the USC/Silverado Light Study in 2014 and found her purpose and passion for changing lives through innovation with Silverado. Following the Light Study at four Los Angeles and Orange County communities, she became the Director of Resident and Family Services (DRFS) at our Encinitas community. After relocating to Orange County in 2016, she obtained her RCFE and rejoined the Silverado family in 2017 as the Administrator in Training at Newport Mesa. Erin has a Bachelor’s degree in Cognitive Science from UCSD, and a Master’s degree in Gerontology from USC.

    Erin’s close relationship with her grandparents led her to the senior healthcare industry, and she enjoys listening to residents and families share memories of their childhood, family life and careers. Erin is the music director at her local church, and brings her love of music to the community with impromptu piano playing of classic oldies, hymns and festive tunes.
