Hospice Staff Testimonials

"Silverado differs from other employers because Silverado has a definitive purpose which is visible, promoted and implemented in every service line (Senior Living, Hospice and At Home) that is to "GIVE LIFE" and to provide World Class Care and Services. I love my job with Selverado because everyday I am assured that I am working amongst associates who are committed and passionate about service and care delivery in a highly cohesive and nurturing environment. It is inspiring to know that at Silverado, every associate has the absolute opportunity for growth and advancement and that EVERYONE is recognized and appreciated for playing integral roles in the company."

"Silverado differs from other employers because due to the fact it is a purpose driven company! What I love about my job is that I get to spend everyday seeking the good for others. I feel truly blessed. I am inspired that we give LIFE to those we serve and that my life is enriched on a daily basis from my experiences with patients, families, and coworkers."

"Before I joined the Silverado family a little over 6 years ago I was in the Skilled Nursing industry. My last two years in SNF I went home almost every night feeling terrible, I felt like I had not been honest with so many families by telling them their loved one would receive the best care as this was not the case AT ALL. Working with Silverado has allowed me to end each day with a "feel good" state of mind, I know we are doing the best and LIFE is a fact!"
- Carilyn Long, Regional Director of Sales & Marketing

"I've been with Silverado about 5 ½ years. During this time, I've encountered the best and worst times of my life. Best Day - The Day I got married 3 years ago; Worst Day - the Day my 17-year-old son, Austin, was killed in a wreck on his way to school, 2 ½ years ago. Silverado was there for me every step of the way. They celebrated and embraced my marriage to Chris, and mourned with me and emotionally held me up during my loss of Austin. They "get" it! Silverado understands that we all aren't just sales people, care givers, culinary staff, or just nurses. We're family first. They "get" that associates need to be part of a family - a family that truly cares about each other. And when this Silverado Family is encouraged, coached, acknowledged, listened to, respected, and motivated, our residents/patients/clients are easily cared for. We feel good about ourselves and good about the work we do. We know that we are making a difference every single day in people's lives."
- Nancy Harkey Convertito, Regional Director of Sales & Marketing

"Silverado values their associates. I personally feel valued by my administrator and my co-workers. In other companies I have worked for, census development was always primary. With Silverado, although census development is of primary importance, it is not at the expense of devaluing associates. Silverado supports its associates. As a Hospice associate, I love that I am able to work on a daily basis within the Silverado communities and engage with the residents. I am given the opportunity to learn more about memory-impairment and implement skills useful to working with this population. Silverado inspires me to grow both personally and professionally, and to be one part of an organization in working to provide World-class healthcare. "
