Overview of Silverado Alexandria Memory Care Community

Silverado Alexandria Memory Care is part of the Silverado Senior Living network, and you’ll find it at 2807 King St in the Rosemont neighborhood of Alexandria, about 1.9 miles from the city center. It’s a three-story building with 88 beds, purpose-built specifically for memory care, though they also offer assisted living and respite services. A huge plus is that every single unit is a private room. You’ll want to have a car here since the area is pretty car-dependent with a Walk Score of 21, but at least the Woodbine Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center is less than a tenth of a mile away.

The community is led by administrator Sabrina Pegross and currently has 66 of its 88 beds filled, which puts occupancy at 75%. Looking at their state inspections, they’ve been focused on things like medication management, safety regarding hazardous materials, and keeping their care documentation up to date. These are standard areas to watch in any memory care setting.

Since Silverado operates communities across more than a dozen states, they have a very established model for how they handle memory care, and this location sticks to that plan. If you’re a family in northern Virginia navigating a dementia diagnosis, the fact that this is a dedicated memory care campus with private rooms, respite options, and the backing of a large, experienced operator makes it a strong contender for your shortlist.

Frequently Asked Questions about Memory Care in Virginia

What's the difference between assisted living and memory care in Virginia?

Assisted living in Virginia supports residents with daily activities (bathing, dressing, medication management) while preserving independence. Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's or dementia, and adds 24/7 secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and structured routines designed to reduce confusion and wandering.

Does Virginia Medicaid cover memory care?

Virginia Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for memory care, but most states (including Virginia) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.

What is memory care?

Memory care is a specialized form of assisted living for residents living with Alzheimer's disease or other forms of dementia, with secured environments, dementia-trained staff, and routines built to reduce confusion and wandering.

How many memory care communities are listed on this page?

This page features 304 memory care communities in Virginia. Use the filters and comparison tools above to compare ratings, amenities, and pricing.

How do I choose the right memory care community in Virginia?

Start by matching the level of care offered to the resident's current and anticipated needs, then compare licensing status, staff-to-resident ratios, recent inspection results, and pricing. Tour at least two or three communities in Virginia, talk to current residents and families, and confirm what is included in the base rate versus billed as add-on services.

What should I look for when visiting memory care communities in Virginia?

Pay attention to staff interactions with residents, cleanliness and odor, food quality at meal times, the activity calendar, and how questions about pricing and care plans are answered. Ask to see the most recent state inspection report, the move-out / level-of-care-change policy, and a sample monthly bill that lists every fee.
