Tonight we are cruising around Bellingham Bay with Dementia Support Northwest for their 43rd anniversary cruise to bring awareness to memory loss.

Check out this AMAZING family. Nothing better than seeing multiple generations come together to support dementia awareness.

In the midst of a busy day filled with tasks and responsibilities, it's often the simple moments of connection that have the greatest impact.

We are so proud of associates who consistently demonstrate the heart of our mission through genuine human connection. Thank you for taking the time to make a resident's day a little brighter and for exemplifying the professionalism, empathy, and dedication that make our community so special.

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.

Every community has someone who quietly makes it a little brighter, and for us, one of those people is John.

As the leader of our exercise class, John inspires others to stay active, have fun, and encourage one another every step of the way. His positive attitude and welcoming spirit make each class something our residents look forward to. John says, "I enjoy the people and love seeing their progress!"

John also serves as one of our Resident Ambassadors, always taking the time to greet new residents with a warm smile, answer questions, and help them feel at home from day one. His kindness, compassion, and genuine care for others embody what community is all about.

We love you, John!

Please join us in celebrating John and thanking him for all he does! 💙👏

The cooking club was a blast today! We made homemade pizzas and they were so yummy!

The celebration doesn't start when the fireworks go off — it starts right here.

In the laughter, the stories, the little traditions that our residents have carried with them for decades. 🇺🇸

We're so proud to share these moments with them. Happy early Fourth from our community to yours.

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. 🐾🎨🎶🌿
