Overview of Silverado Frederick Memory Care Community

Silverado Frederick sits on Gas House Pike in Frederick, Maryland, a 72-bed community offering assisted living, memory care, and respite care under one roof. The single-story layout means residents move between private and semi-private rooms without navigating stairs or elevators, and the community has been operating for three years.

Getting around the neighborhood on foot isn’t really the plan here. The Walk Score comes in at 20, car-dependent territory, so families and visitors should expect to drive for errands rather than stroll to a nearby shop or cafe.

Room rates depend on the setup families choose. Private rooms run $310 to $330 a day, semi-private rooms $265 to $285 a day. Silverado Frederick also partners with Frederick Health Hospice, so residents facing end-of-life care can stay put rather than transferring somewhere new during a difficult stretch.

One more detail worth knowing if a beloved pet is part of the picture: this community allows residents to bring their animals along.
