Two close friends and I (all senior citizens) visited Silvergate Rancho Bernardo in the Spring of 2023 and immediately knew that we’d found paradise in a lovely area of San Diego. We’d already looked at several other residential places for seniors, so we had a sense of what we might expect. We were blown away by the excellence at Silvergate. We were looking, of course, for security, excellence in both the care and the environment, a compassionate staff, and a sense of community. We wanted to meet residents and staff at each level of care. We found all of the qualities we sought—and so much more. Any residential care community is only as good as its people. Silvergate seems to select only the best of the best. The administrators, caregivers, activity coordinators, groundskeepers, custodial engineers, and food service staff we met were kind, patient, welcoming, diligent, and knowledgeable. We spoke with residents and staff members in every building we toured. We also talked with residents who were out on their patios or walking around the lovely grounds—people who were not officially part of our tour. Consistently, the messages we heard were about quality, enjoyment, and compassion. We also heard residents talk about making new friends and participating in their favorite events from the wide variety of enrichment activities. I need to mention how beautiful the entire campus is. It is stunning. We walked around smiling at the lovely greenbelts, the flowers, shade trees, comfortable outdoor community areas, places to sit outside on a bench and simply take in the beauty of nature. We were talking about the sheer beauty of the grounds for days afterwards. Each building was fresh inside and clean. Amenities were evident everywhere. The residents’ rooms were spacious and cheerful. We agreed that we felt a sense of peace. All three of us agreed that this is a community where we would choose to live when we are ready to make that move. We’ve since been telling our friends and relatives about it. There is no buy-in, and the pricing seems quite reasonable. We are delighted that we found Silvergate Rancho Bernardo and look forward to living there or visiting loved ones there in the future.

My mom recently moved in and we expected it to be a difficult transition emotionally. Since day one she has never looked back and keeps telling me how happy she is!

My mom recently moved in and we expected it to be a difficult transition emotionally. Since day one she has never looked back and keeps telling me how happy she is! The staff and residents are so nice and helpful and she already has made friends and is busy with the activities. This move has been so beneficial for her physical and mental health, and it is all because of the wonderful people and beautiful facility.

What I liked about Silvergate Rancho Bernardo was that many things are included in the price of rent. I'm in a senior community now and I have to pay separately for several things, but there, they're included. They also have more activities. They have a wonderful art room that I will enjoy...

We ate in their dining room which had tablecloths for lunch and it was lovely. I had a shrimp cocktail with the largest shrimp I've ever seen in my life. I had a sandwich and yam fries for lunch. Dessert was Pistachio gelato. I thought I was in heaven. I went to five communities and it was the best.

I first visited this facility 1 year ago along with visiting 10 other facilities in San Diego. We were looking for a new home for a parent.

I first visited this facility 1 year ago along with visiting 10 other facilities in San Diego. We were looking for a new home for a parent. After visiting so many facilities I can say this was the best place we visited. It looks like a resort, with a grand entrance, a pool, a boccie court, a courtyard where they have get togethers with all the residents. I have been to a few of their holiday parties where they bring in bands and serve lots of drinks and food. They are really awesome! I have even eaten dinner and lunch there, in the bar and the dining room, many times and the meals and drink are always very good. Pam and Lisa are great. They walked us through the whole process and showed us how to obtain a beautifully designed 2 bedroom unit within a short period of time. Every time I go there I am greeted very well by all of the staff. It is really a great place. If you are looking for a great community to live in, you certainly should visit Silvergate Rancho Bernardo.
