What this means for your family

Sierra Ridge is highly regarded by many families for its clean environment and the genuine kindness of its staff. However, because there are recurring, serious allegations regarding neglect and hygiene in older reviews, I strongly advise families to conduct an unannounced visit and speak directly with current residents' families about recent care standards.
