Sierra Basin Memory Care
Sierra Basin Memory Care provides memory care, hospice care, and respite care in Carson City, NV. Memory care offers a secure setting with supervision for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, while hospice care supports residents needing end of life care. Respite care provides a short stay for someone whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.
The community has 54 beds, which may suit someone who prefers a smaller setting where staff and residents can get to know each other. Secure outdoor spaces include a courtyard, sensory garden, and walking path, giving residents enclosed places to spend time outside. On site physical therapy allows residents to attend rehabilitation sessions without arranging transportation elsewhere.
Family style dining is served three times daily, and the Anytime Menu provides dining options outside those scheduled meals. Life enrichment programming and a social events calendar give residents planned activities and opportunities to spend time with others. Medicaid is accepted, which can help families pay for care when personal savings may not cover a long stay. A Walk Score of 66 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, so some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to handle nearby errands independently. Sierra Basin Memory Care may be a good fit for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia who may also need hospice support, a short respite stay, or rehabilitation on site.
