Questions about Silver Oaks Memory Care

What ongoing training does the staff receive in dementia care?

Staff receives a mixture of training through videos, in-service, and one-on-one. With dementia, there's something new every day, having one-on-one experience is the best training. As we make new discoveries, we train and implement with our staff to ensure all residents are receiving proper care.

What programs or activities does Silver Oaks Memory Care offer to keep residents engaged? How does the staff engage residents' long-term memories?

We have an Activities Director with over 20 years of experience working with dementia. She has a special bond with the residents, understanding and knowing their hobbies, interests, etc. and she caters to her activities based on that. She does a lot of activities that pertain to nostalgia, playing old-timey music, arts and crafts, brain-stimulating games like puzzles, bingo, etc. We have plenty of fun here!

Who assesses residents' health and cognitive functioning? How often is that assessment repeated?

The Resident Care Coordinator. Prior to move-in, an assessment is done to determine prospective resident's behavior, personality, medications, etc. Upon move-in, we do 72-hour monitoring to make sure the resident is acclimated to the new environment. Subsequent monitoring is done on a daily to ensure their care and needs are met. We work closely with their doctors and families.

About Silver Oaks Memory Care

Silver Oaks, in Menlo Park, looks like a small B&B from the outside, inviting front patio, the outline of a brick fireplace, lush greenery. Inside you'll find that we have big plans for the remodel of Silver Oaks that includes removal of interior walls to provide more open spaces, updating the decor, bringing all of the staff offices together to the first floor to provide better coordination. What we don't plan on changing is the caring staff who have been providing responsible, concerned care for decades.

What Makes Us Special

We can support personal feeding when required.
