Overview of Sierra Place Senior Living

Sierra Place Senior Living offers assisted living and respite care in Carson City, Nevada. Assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while the resident keeps a private living space.

The community has 76 beds, with studio, one bedroom, and two bedroom layouts. A studio offers one private living space, while a two bedroom layout can work well for a couple moving together.

The community may suit a resident who needs daily support or a family seeking short term care during a caregiver’s absence. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet to the community.
