How They Respond to Reviews

97%response rate
Generic

The owner uses a small set of repetitive templates to respond to almost all reviews. The responses rarely acknowledge the specific details or staff members mentioned in the reviews, instead relying on pre-written phrases like 'We’re happy that you’re happy!' or 'Thanks for being a part of the family.'

Key Review Excerpts

My mom has been at Silvergate going on 5 years. Friends frequently ask me what its like and I describe it as a luxury cruise ship on land.

Long-term resident's family · 2026★★★★★

I am 90 years of age and have manny difficulties. I am cared for in many ways I could never expected. Thank you,

Resident · 2026★★★★★

She utilized her pendant to request help, and although someone without nursing credentials promptly called 911, it took an astonishing three days for the staff to inform me of the incident.
