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.
