Silverado Senior Living - Encinitas Staff Testimonials

"Silverado is different due to the corporate philosophy of Love>fear, and the personal care and actions executives take to preserve it. I love the interaction with associates who share my philosophy of care and the bonus of making a real difference every day in so many lives. I am inspired by the example of those with whom I work, whether they are an entry level associate or a major executive. The philosophy ‘we are all in this together' is a winning theme."
 - Kathleen T. Smith, Administrator, Silverado Senior Living - Escondido

"I like that I am allowed to learn and grow through the mistakes I make. No one is perfect, and I think Silverado understands that. What truly impresses me is that any feedback we get as associates is meant for our growth, not to diminish us. I am inspired to be a better person because of Silverado's LOVE>fear philosophy. Because of it, I am a better leader, a better friend, a better spouse, a better daughter, a better sister - a better person. I have learned to appreciate people in ways I never did before. I have learned better ways to deal with what life has to offer me on any given day. Best of all, I have learned how to share this gift with others."

"There is a lot of integrity at Silverado. The core operating philosophy of LOVE>fear is embodied by the Executive Team and trickles down to the staff. Everyone tries to come from love no matter what the situation is, whether it involves residents, families, or associates. We walk the walk and care for residents remain the priority, no matter the circumstance. I love everything about my job! I lover the ability to be creative in providing care for the residents, the spontaneity with which it can be done; being surrounded by children and pets in an environment that thrives on having caring and compassionate staff and where everyone is treated like family."

"Working for Silverado is like working for your own family. That's what has made my eleven years with Silverado so special. Each day I arrive at the community, I have an opportunity to love, care for and give life to our residents and make a difference in how they live out their remaining life. I am able to positively affect our associates as I am empowered to show appreciation. From our CEO to direct care associates, I never leave Silverado without my heart being touched by someone who lets me know how much I am appreciated and cared about."
