Silverado Newport Mesa Memory Care Community sits in a walkable neighborhood near the 55 freeway, close to Newport Beach, Irvine, Santa Ana, and Fountain Valley, with easy public transit nearby and places like CVS Pharmacy, MoonGoat Coffee Roasters, Newport Heart North, and parks just around the corner, which makes visiting and daily life a little simpler for everyone. The community welcomes people with Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Lewy body, and other kinds of dementia, dividing residents into three neighborhoods-Nexus for early stage, Enrichment for those in between, and Sensory for later stages-so that care and activities always match a person's needs and stage in the journey.
The place feels like a big family, with staff known for being kind, patient, and always ready to help with dressing, personal care, medication, and laundry, and there are around-the-clock licensed nurses, a physician medical director, masters-level social workers, and dementia care-certified staff available day and night. They have their own Dementia Care Certification program that trains everyone for 40 hours in both classroom and hands-on settings. Special programs stand out here, like Nexus at Silverado, which helps early-stage residents with brain health using a non-drug, evidence-based approach, and Nexus Flex, which gives families a break with short stays that include full Nexus programming. The dedicated team knows how to manage challenging behaviors, working to keep each person safe, comfortable, and as independent as possible.
The grounds allow plenty of fresh air with gardens, secure outdoor areas, and walking paths, along with indoor spaces like a game room, library, and a state-of-the-art fitness room. Everyone can enjoy pets, secure activities, and family-style meals with restaurant quality that make dining a real gathering time, and there's no extra charge for family dining. Beautician and barber services, as well as transportation, come standard, and they're ready to help with incontinence, diabetic care, respite, and even hospice as needed. Residents also have access to visiting podiatrists, physical, occupational, and speech therapists right on site, which helps a lot if someone needs more help as time goes on.
The staff, called community team members, focus on life-enriching activities and programs every day, with sensory programs, devotional services, social events, and education all part of a regular schedule meant to boost well-being. Custom care plans, safety features, and medication management go hand in hand with lots of encouragement for people to do as much for themselves as they can, so everyone keeps a sense of dignity and independence. Their purposeful design aims to prevent confusion and wandering, and there's a strong culture of friendliness and helping families understand dementia and what comes next.
Silverado Newport Mesa Memory Care Community is part of Silverado Senior Living, which has a broad mission and different levels of care for aging adults, so there's a good support network behind the scenes. Pets, gardens, wheelchair accessible showers, a no-smoking policy, and activities for all kinds of interests help make daily life feel full but not overwhelming. This is a place where residents and families are treated kindly, where stories matter, and where staff work hard to make the community a safe, warm, and respectful home for people living with memory loss.
