Boutique Assisted Living · McKinney, Texas

Where Every Day Feels Like Home

Your loved one deserves a place where they are truly known — by name, by story, by joy. Silver Cedar Residences offers intimate, personalized care in a beautiful setting built for comfort, connection, and dignity.

Our Story

Born from a Daughter's Promise

"I didn't want to build a facility. I wanted to build a home — the one I would choose for my own mother."

Yolanda Villegas built Silver Cedar from personal experience — the experience of searching for a place truly worthy of someone she loved, and not finding it. That moment became a calling.

With a background in healthcare administration and senior care operations, she spent years learning what genuine, excellent care truly looks like — and more importantly, what it feels like. Silver Cedar is her answer.

A home built on the belief that every elder deserves beauty, purpose, and belonging — not just a bed and a care plan.

Our Mission

Dignity in Caring,
Joy in Living

Silver Cedar Residences is not a facility — it is a home. Every care plan, every meal, every activity is guided by one belief: your loved one deserves to thrive, not just survive.

We chose to remain small — never more than 16 residents — so that our caregivers truly know each person: their morning routines, their favorite music, the stories they love to tell.

Compassionate Care

Every caregiver is chosen for clinical skill and genuine warmth. Your family becomes our family.

Safety & Peace of Mind

24/7 on-site care, emergency protocols, and transparent family communication — always.

Joyful Daily Living

Rich programming, beautiful spaces, and a community where laughter and purpose fill every day.

Family Partnership

Families are never left out. We involve you in care planning, updates, and every milestone.

The Residence

A Home Designed for Comfort & Beauty

Located on a peaceful 2.24-acre property in McKinney, Texas, Silver Cedar Residences was designed from the ground up with seniors in mind — wide doorways, natural light, private rooms, and curated common spaces that feel residential, never institutional.

From the chef’s kitchen to the garden patio overlooking open countryside, every space invites connection, rest, and joy.

Respite Care

Short-Term Care When Families Need a Break

Caring for a loved one at home is one of the most loving things a family can do — and one of the most demanding. Silver Cedar Residences offers short-term respite stays so caregivers can rest and recover, knowing their loved one is in excellent hands.

Respite guests receive the same full level of care, meals, activities, and personal attention as permanent residents — for stays from a few days to several weeks.

"Taking a short break doesn't make you a less devoted caregiver. It makes you a sustainable one."

Questions & Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Silver Cedar different from a nursing home?

Silver Cedar is a residential assisted living home — not a nursing facility. With just 16 residents, the environment is intimate, home-like, and deeply personal. Your loved one is known by name by every staff member and cared for according to their individual needs, not a standardized program.

Yes. Our small size, consistent caregivers, structured routines, and calming environment are particularly beneficial for those experiencing memory challenges. We create individualized care plans and our team is trained in dementia-sensitive approaches.

Absolutely. We welcome family presence and encourage participation in daily life. Visits, shared meals, and involvement in care planning are all warmly welcomed.

We maintain a 1:5 caregiver-to-resident ratio — significantly better than industry standard — with 24/7 on-site supervision.
