PositiveSilvergate Retirement Residence - San Marcos
I would rate all categories a 5. I was really happy with Silvergate. My husband was only there 3 1/2 months before he passed but I had only good experiences with them. He had a shared room so while it was expensive, it wasn't as bad as other places

PositiveReview for Silvergate Retirement Residence - San Marcos
We toured a place in Carlsbad that was much more expensive but looked more institutionalized. Silvergate is much more homey, broken down into neighborhoods. Also, staff ratios were much better.

I had to test them to determine they were not charged, and …

My loved one was previously a resident at Silvergate and the experience was terrible. I would not recommend this facility to others.

PositiveExcellent care!
I am the friend and DPOA for a resident in The Suites at Silvergate San Marcos. I visit quite a bit and I have always found all of the staff to be friendly, attentive and most of all, caring. Whether it's someone at the front desk, a nurse, medtech, caregiver or activity planner, they are all first rate. The facility is very well designed with six small "villages" each with about six residents. So a caregiver has only six residents to care for and there is backup available in case someone needs extra care as is of…
