Spiritual Life
Sierra View Homes Retirement Community supports and encourages the spiritual life of each resident, regardless of his or her religious affiliation or beliefs.
Sunday morning worship services are held at 9:30. Churches from the community offer services throughout the month. In addition, a cozy Chapel is available for prayer and meditation.
Sierra View Homes also employs a chaplain who supplements the ministry of local churches and ministers, and encourages residents in their spiritual growth.
