About Silverado Hospice San Diego
Care that protects the quality of life that remains.
At Silverado Hospice, hospice is not about giving up. It is about making the most of the time you have, in comfort and on your own terms. Our team manages pain and symptoms so the days that remain can be spent on the people and moments that matter.
Our care comes to you, whether home is a private residence, an assisted living community, a memory care community or a skilled nursing facility. A nurse, an aide, a social worker, a chaplain and a volunteer work as one team around each patient and family.
The Silverado Pledge
When you call, you get answers fast.
Choosing hospice should not mean waiting and wondering. Two promises hold us to that:
7-Day Physician Visit Guarantee
A physician sees the patient within seven days of admission.
Our care
Specialized hospice programs, built around the diagnosis.
Different illnesses call for different care. Our clinical teams are trained in the conditions families face most, so the plan fits the patient, not the other way around.
Cardiac hospice
For advanced heart failure and end-stage cardiac disease. We manage symptoms like shortness of breath and fluid retention so patients can rest easier and stay comfortable at home.
Pulmonary hospice
For COPD, pulmonary fibrosis and other advanced lung conditions. Our team focuses on easing breathlessness and anxiety, with oxygen and medication managed around the clock.
Dementia and neurological hospice
For Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, ALS and related conditions. We draw on Silverado's decades in memory care to keep patients calm, dignified and surrounded by what they know.
Cancer hospice
For advanced and metastatic cancer. Our team focuses on pain and symptom relief, so patients stay comfortable and present with the people they love through every stage.

Why families choose Silverado
Why choose Silverado Hospice for someone you love?
Silverado began when our nurses saw an unmet need: end-of-life care that addresses the whole person, in mind, body and spirit. That idea has guided everything we do since 2004.
What we believe
We believe that understanding and honoring all aspects of a person, their needs, interests, beliefs and personality, is the only way to truly achieve the high level of care that families deserve.
Unmatched clinical excellence
Our clinical practices are second to none, with features such as a dedicated physician medical director and specialized teams experienced in specific diseases and conditions.
It all starts with compassion
From our philosophy of personalizing care for each patient, to our hiring and training, there is only one goal: to make the last days of life as comfortable and dignified as possible.

From the families we serve
In their own words.
The hardest time of a family's life is not the easiest thing to write about. We are grateful when families share what our team meant to them.
Thank you Silverado for helping my mother receive the care she needed. Your nurses, Dr. and staff helped us along the entire way. The pain management treatment plan helped my mom pass peacefully. For that, my family is grateful.

You do not need to be certain. Call us and we will talk through what you are seeing, with no obligation.
Where is hospice care provided?
Wherever the patient calls home. That can be a private residence, an assisted living community, a memory care community or a skilled nursing facility. Our team comes to you.

No. Hospice shifts the goal from curing an illness to living as fully and comfortably as possible. Many families tell us they wish they had called sooner.
