Silverado Bellingham
Memory Care Community

Rosalee Ronquillo joined Silverado in 2016 with a passion to make a difference in the lives of families impacted by dementia. As a Community Ambassador, the opportunity to train, educate and truly create a positive change in the community is a huge privilege. Rosalee’s compassion and dedication to be a resource to her community with a strong business background are a great combination. Knowing the process of how Alzheimer’s changes families first hand, Rosalee works hard to educate professionals to understand the disease in a way that allows them to best serve the senior population at every stage.

Rosalee is originally from El Paso, TX and moved to Bellingham, WA in 2000. She loves to spend time with family, loves the outdoors, and cheering for the Dallas Cowboys!

Leticia first started with Silverado in 2008 and brings years of expertise working in a range of roles throughout the community, including caregiver, culinary aide, and receptionist. In 2013, Leticia left Silverado after her third son was born and then rejoined in 2017 as the Engagement Assistant. Five years later, she was promoted to serve as Silverado Bellingham’s Director of Resident Engagement, where she ensures residents are living engaged, purposeful lives.

Leticia’s three sons have grown up at Silverado and are a staple in the community when it comes to engaging with residents. She loves working at Silverado because of the joy residents bring her. “Watching the residents smile, laugh and engage is the best,” shares Leticia.

In her free time, Leticia enjoys spending time with her family, being outdoors, four-wheeling in her Jeep and going for motorcycle rides.

Casey started as a culinary aid at Silverado and gained the expertise necessary to become the Director of Culinary Services. Her passion for the culinary arts started when she became the Lead Decorator at a dessert company in Ferndale, WA. After a few years in this position, she decided to start her own cake business. Her talent was recognized by the Executive Director of the Miss Washington pageant, which led to her presenting her cakes at their fashion shows in 2017 and 2018. Casey is thrilled to share her passion for baking with the residents and families of Silverado. She is a firm believer of Silverado’s “Love is Greater Than Fear” philosophy and enjoys the many opportunities to grow. In her free time, Casey enjoys being a mother to her twin daughters and experimenting with new recipes.

Joyce joined the Silverado Bellingham team in September 2021, serving an important role in the wellbeing of the community’s residents as the Assistant Director of Health Services. Holding years of experience working in long term care and hospice services, Joyce worked as a licensed practical nurse (LPN) from 2008 – 2010 and went on to earn her license as a registered nurse (RN) in 2010.

Joyce loves working in memory care because “every day is different, presents new challenges to overcome and there is never a dull moment!” She found a love for Silverado’s philosophy and culture that sets a path of a fulfilling life for those with memory impairment.

In her free time, Joyce enjoys relaxing, watching movies, spending time outdoors and the company of her fiancé and her cat, Zoot Suit.

In her spare time Jennifer enjoys reading, doing crafts, taking walks and being outdoors.  She also enjoys spending time with family and friends. She has a beautiful daughter and two dogs, all of which you will see frequently roaming around Silverado.
