Bill Huggins' Story
"My daughter and I knew there had to be somewhere he could go and be allowed outside. Everyone at the hospitals hands you ‘canned books' with hundreds of care options. It's so hard to know what to look for, Silverado in Plano had been open only a month when we contacted them, I was in love with it instantly. I just knew it was the place for Dad." Read Story

Dr. Merle Hale's Story
"Dad always enjoyed coming to our home on weekends and spending the day by the pool, but when he started on the drugs, he was also wheelchair bound, and he couldn't come visit us anymore. Silverado not only got him off the drugs, they loaded his wheelchair up in their bus and brought him to our home so he could hang out with the family all day and eat pizza by the pool. They brought him home for Thanksgiving and Christmas, too. It was amazing to see him engaged with life again. He was practically back to normal. Francis and everyone on the staff were absolutely wonderful to Dad. Ultimately, Silverado helped Dad enjoy the last years of his life to the fullest, and for that we will be eternally grateful."
