Overview of Sierra Vista Independent & Assisted Living

Operated by Sierra Vista ALF LLC, Sierra Vista Independent and Assisted Living is a senior living community in Victorville, California, in San Bernardino County. Kimberly Mejia serves as the administrator. The community offers assisted living, independent living, and respite care, so residents can receive different levels of support without moving if their needs change. Housing includes one-bedroom apartments and larger suite-style units.

The 99-bed community has served residents for about 1 year, making it one of the newer senior living communities in the Victorville area. About half of the beds are currently occupied, which may provide greater availability for families looking for immediate placement.

State inspections by the California Department of Social Services have generally found the community in good standing. One inspection noted administrative items involving staff health screening and food handler training records. Other inspections found the community clean, safe, and fully compliant with no deficiencies. Overall, the inspection history does not suggest concerns with daily resident care.

The neighborhood is somewhat walkable. A few nearby shops and services can be reached on foot, while most errands and outings require a car. Families looking for a community close to medical offices and shopping may find the location convenient.

Families interested in Sierra Vista Independent and Assisted Living should ask about current room availability and how resident programs have developed since the community opened.
