Silverado Alexandria Memory Care Community

08/27/2026

Today was a special day as we visited the Lincoln Memorial Undercroft with our wonderful residents. ❤️

Sharing meaningful experiences, discovering history, and creating new memories together made this visit truly memorable. It was wonderful to see the curiosity, smiles, conversations, and moments of connection throughout the day.

Living with dementia doesn’t mean the opportunity for adventure, learning, and meaningful experiences disappears. With the right support, our residents can continue to explore, engage, and enjoy the world around them.

We’re grateful for days like this—filled with history, laughter, connection, and memories to cherish. 🇺🇸✨

A new chapter begins at Silverado.

This month, we proudly welcomed Wayne Sanner as our new Chief Executive Officer and President, as our founder, Loren Shook, stepped into the role of Executive Chairman and Founder.

For nearly 30 years, Loren led Silverado with one guiding belief: every person deserves to be treated with dignity, purpose, and love. That belief became who we are.

That legacy now moves forward. Wayne brings more than 25 years of healthcare leadership and the same commitment to the people at the heart of everything we do.

Join us in celebrating Loren's incredible impact, and in welcoming Wayne to this next era. The future is bright and together, we'll keep changing lives with purpose, compassion, and excellence.

Silverado enters a new chapter as Wayne Sanner assumes leadership, building on founder Loren Shook's legacy of innovation and compassionate care.

Smiles tell the real story at Silverado. 💜

The smile that lights up when a favorite song starts playing. The quiet smile shared between a resident and the caregiver who knows exactly how she takes her coffee. The big, full-belly laugh during a culinary class. The soft smile when a four-legged friend curls up beside her chair.

These moments are not random. They are the result of a community built around what truly matters. Connection. Familiarity. Purpose. Joy. Every day at Silverado is intentionally designed to create the conditions for residents to feel safe, seen, and genuinely happy.

Because a smile is so much more than a smile. It is a sign that someone feels at home.

And that is what we are here to give. Every single day.

Every person who walks through our doors carries a lifetime of stories. The careers they built. The music that moved them. The meals their mother used to make. The road trips, the love stories, the everyday joys that shaped who they are.

Those stories matter. They shape the meals served, the songs played, the activities offered, and the way each day unfolds. Because a diagnosis does not define a person, and the life they have lived deserves to be honored every single day.

Every resident is a whole human. A whole story. A whole life still being lived.

What makes Silverado different? Walk into any of our communities and you will feel it immediately. 💜

Dogs roam freely. Children visit and fill the halls with laughter. Music plays. The smell of something delicious drifts in from culinary class. Residents tend to gardens, paint, dance, and move through their day surrounded by life.

Most senior care environments feel clinical. Silverado feels like home, and that is by design. The research is clear: connection, sensory engagement, and purpose are what truly support people living with dementia. We do not treat enrichment as something extra. It is the foundation of everything we do.

Because every resident deserves a life filled with joy, meaning, and moments worth remembering. 🐾🎨🎶🌿

Happy World Caring Day from all of us at Silverado.

These two right here? This is what caring actually looks like. It's the little moments. Holding a hand. Sharing a laugh. Sitting with someone when words aren't needed. Our team shows up every single day with this kind of love, and we don't take a second of it for granted.
To our caregivers across every Silverado community, thank you. You are the reason families trust us with the people they love most. We see you, we appreciate you, and we are so proud of the work you do.
