What care is Silverado Senior Living-Encinitas licensed to provide?
Per its CCLD record, Silverado Senior Living-Encinitas is licensed for 122 residents and it holds a dementia approval, so it may admit and keep residents with dementia under Title 22 dementia-care requirements; CCLD has approved delayed-egress doors and/or a secured perimeter for residents at risk of wandering; it has a hospice waiver, so a resident can receive hospice care there instead of moving; it may accept non-ambulatory residents (people who could not leave the building unaided in an emergency).
The capacity note on the license reads: "The facility serves elderly residents; ages 60 and above; of which 122 may be non-ambulatory; hospice waiver approved for 25. Approved for delayed egress, and secured locked perimeter."
Even with these approvals, a California RCFE cannot keep a resident who needs 24-hour skilled nursing or has certain prohibited health conditions; that resident needs a skilled nursing facility.
Who is Silverado Senior Living-Encinitas a good fit for, based on its license?
Based only on its CCLD record, Silverado Senior Living-Encinitas fits families planning for dementia care who need a secured setting, since CCLD has approved delayed egress or a secured perimeter. It may also suit residents who want to stay in place at end of life, since it has a hospice waiver; people who use a wheelchair or could not evacuate unaided; people who want a mid-size community.
