Critical Elder Care Questions!
If you have a relative or friend living in a retirement setting or nursing home or at Silverado Senior Living in Calabasas,
California, be alert to signs of improper care, neglect or inadequate supervision!
Silverado has a list of extremely important questions on their website, ask them to supply their answers
to those questions.
Brochures and website hyperbole notwithstanding, does Silverado meet the level of care they claim or that state law requires?
For a family member that is suffering from cognitive impairment the wrong answer to these questions could prove fatal!
Were you referred by Nancy Wexler, Gernotology Associates? If so was there a disclosure that they may receive a
placement fee from Silverado?
It is entirely possible that placement decisions are being made on the basis of "kickbacks" and not on the real needs
of the client/patient. ASK!

questions like: is staffing at adequate levels (at published levels)? What is rate of staff turnover, Staff experience
level, Do employees have all neccessary training, key positions filled & time in those positions. Ask demographic
