Perfect match
They took full care of my FIL, who was bedridden. He was always clean and fed. I highly recommend their services to others looking! It was an excellent value for the money.

VerifiedSO VERY HAPPY WITH Silva Board and Care
Both my husband and I have had parents live in assisted living programs and small board and care facilities. Silva Board and Care is--hands down--THE best program we've seen in Sonoma County (and we've looked at many, trying to find just the right place). The Trinidad family and their employees treat residents (and families) as part of their own family. They are so attentive to residents' needs and very careful. The house is beautifully arranged (fresh flowers!) and meticulously clean.The menu varies daily and always looks delicious; holidays, special occasions, and seasonal changes are reflected in the fresh foods they select to serve. My mother is thriving there and our family is delighted with the improvement in her mood and health. I highly recommend this program.

Where do I start? My siblings and I found Silva for my terminally ill father through a service Kaiser referred to us, and we are so blessed we did. My father was given 30 days to live and discharged to hospice care. Helen and her husband Joel opened their care home and took him in as a member of their family. My dad describes the home as a “sanctuary” and loves it there. Helen, Joel, May and staff are so loving , caring and attentive. The home itself is beautiful, clean , & cozy with fresh flowers, homemade meals , beautiful grounds containing flowers, fruit trees , Hummingbird feeders and so much more. My father is transitioning now , and Helen & Joel are by his side, turning him every 2 hours to avoid bed sores, keeping his mouth moist and giving him comfort care. Silva is an amazing facility, that truly cares about your loved one !

After a dear friend was placed here we came to know Silva House very well. The owners and staff are very kind, warm and caring. The meals were healthy and fresh, and the home is spotless! Helen and Joel couldn’t be more attentive to their residents’ needs. If you have a loved one who needs a safe place to live, go see for yourself.

The folks at Silva are simply awesome! Helen & Joel and their staff are truly kind, attentive, sensitive, caring people; they nurture their residents beautifully. It’s very much a family atmosphere, right down to Jakey the cat who is a love sponge 😁 They also celebrate birthdays and holidays in style! We feel so good about having our loved one in their care. We highly recommend them 👍☺️

My mom was in this facility for over 7 years. During that time Helen and Joel and all the other caregivers treated her like family. There were special family meals, birthday celebrations, as well as attending doctors appointments and incredible end of life care. We could not have been happier. I would highly recommend this care home to anyone.

Family Matters at Silva Board and Care
Considering Silva Board and Care? Our family knows it can be a difficult decision, so please, look no further.?? A rigorous Sonoma County search for the best residential senior community brought us here. Our parents gladly chose to live their lives here, together, at Silva. It was an easy decision. All of “the boxes” were checked, including; attentive care staff, medical and personal needs, cleanliness, dining and meals, and a loving family environment that demonstrates a real respect for the life and love for each and every one of their residents. Silva Board and Care is the Best!

I having no central air conditioning was a downer. Window air conditioners could pose a problem for a resident who can't figure out how to work it. It depends on the level of Dementia/Alzheimer's. This want for our Mom. Not as secure as we would like for her,

VerifiedI finally have a peace of mind!
We've gone through three different places before finding Silva Board and Care. Since moving Mom here she has gained her strength and doing a whole lot better than she was in the place prior. Helen and Joel have been extremely professional and incredibly caring and have followed through on everything they've promised. Mom likes to sing and they play music for her every day. I really feel like we've finally found the perfect place for Mom.

Finding a wonderful facility to spend the later years of life
I appreciated the care Silva House gave my mother. I felt fortunate to find this board and care and felt that I gave my mother a loving situation for the last years of her life. I am grateful for the decision that I made.

My mother was at Silva Board and Care under Helen and Joel’s care for 4 ½ happy years. While she was there, her condition improved dramatically. She began to sit up, eat by herself, and started to laugh and to interact with the other residents and the other care givers. We could not have found for a better place for her. Helen and Joel did an excellent job caring for my mother. Thanks to them, she had the best last four years of her life. We are very grateful for their loving care and allowing my mom and my own family to included in their family. Michi Shimizu Sebastopol, Caifornia

My mother was with Joel and Helen for 7 and 1/2 years and we were very pleased. So much so that we just signed up for the care of my wife's 94 year old mother who we need help with. Often care homes will advertise how they treat their clients like "family". Joel and Helen and their staff really do. Many relatives of those who died at the home still come to the Christmas Party months and years after their old ones are gone. That speaks volumes. They really are good people and they know what they're doing. James Santana Santa Rosa, California

We are very pleased.
We are very pleased. It's very clean, and the staff has been really friendly. There is a deck that sits off of her bedroom, she just loves that, it's one of the reasons we chose them. They go above and beyond, they do extra things. If you tell them things that she particularly likes to eat, we find that it shows up around the house. They pay attention to their residents.
