What this means for your family
Silverado Bellingham is highly regarded for its specialized dementia care and compassionate staff, making it a top choice for many families. However, given the recent reports of inconsistent hygiene and responsiveness, we recommend that families conduct unannounced visits during weekends or evening hours to observe care standards firsthand.

Key Review Excerpts
“I moved her here after having some bad experiences in an assisted living facility in Lynden. When touring Silverado in Bellingham, I felt like they were the “Nordstrom” of facilities and hoped it would prove to be true. I can say that this truly is the “Nordstrom” of facilities.”
“Silverado Bellingham takes its reponsibilites seriously. The staff and caregivers are experienced, caring and focused. I receive frequent phone calls if there are any concerns about my brother.”
“My parents transitioned to Silverado Memory Care late last year. After nearly three years in three separate residential situations and pretty horrible conditions, we nine adult kids were both relieved and gratified that they were finally in a caring and supportive environment.”
