As the years pass and the seasons change, the time comes when the roles we grew accustomed to begin to shift, and the children who once relied on their parents for guidance and support find themselves stepping into a new role—that of caregiver and advocate for their aging parents. This journey, often referred to as “parenting your parents,” is a profound, and sometimes challenging, experience that requires patience, compassion, and love.
In communities such as Silverado Red Rock Memory Care, individuals do not navigate this journey alone. The dedicated team there is committed to providing support to both memory care patients and their families. Embodying the core belief that "Everyone deserves a good quality of life," Silverado Red Rock fosters a culture that enhances respect and dignity for every individual they serve.
“We believe that dignity and respect are the cornerstones of a happy, worthwhile existence. There is no higher praise for us than the smile of a happy patient, the thanks of a relieved loved one, or the revitalized embrace of an engaged resident,” says Silverado Red Rock Memory Care Administrator Penny Munn.
Since 1996, they have been committed to creating a welcoming and comfortable atmosphere that promotes wellbeing, togetherness, and socialization through activities such as yoga, cooking, crafts, dining, and more. No family member is left out—or behind—since residents can bring their pets along and share in the cuddly joy they bring.
Silverado Red Rock fulfills the lives of both patients with dementia and their families with a myriad of features and options to give residents a distinctive living experience. Memory boxes are placed outside of residents’ homes not only to help with recognition, but also to showcase their individuality and personal memories. The innovative “lean rail” created by Silverado Red Rock to help residents maintain balance more easily. Families enjoy the onsite playground where grandparents and their grandkids can deepen their bond while watching the children play, creating cherished memories together. Even four-legged family members aren't excluded—they can accompany their loved ones on leisurely strolls through the beautifully manicured courtyards and walking paths.
Silverado provides round-the-clock nursing care to minimize unnecessary hospitalizations and support medical needs, alongside a robust cognitive program that meets the individuals at the stage they are in the dementia process.
“Our tracking and documented clinical outcomes support our success,” says Penny, “We also offer an internationally recognized program for early stages of dementia, called Nexus. This program is an evidence-based, one-of-a-kind, brain health program that has been validated by academic research to slow the progression down as much as 60 percent without the use of medication.”
Silverado Red Rock Memory Care is a community of support that extends its expertise and care to the patients and their families. They even have a “Pledge to Exceptional Care,” which is dedicated to enhancing the lives of residents and their families.
“We are so confident in our commitment that we make a pledge, in writing, to all families. If they are dissatisfied with our services for any reason in the first 60 days after move-in, after we have made our best efforts to meet their loved one’s needs, we will reimburse the administrative and monthly fees paid, and assist them in finding an alternative solution,” said Penny.
Through the expertise and care of communities like Silverado Red Rock Memory Care (silverado.com), families are empowered to embrace their roles as caregiver with dedication and love. And in the embrace of that love, they find solace, strength, and the courage to face whatever lies ahead.
