Independent Senior Apartments
“I am SO glad that I’m at Sierra View during this pandemic, unlike so many of my friends who are home alone and don’t see a single person all day! I would have been so lonely. Instead, we have pulled together as a community, to support and check on each other, and it feels great to be part of it. It’s the best choice I ever made.”
– JOANN KALAFUT, Sierra View Terraces Resident
Many people over 60 discover that home ownership has become a burden instead of a blessing. Ongoing home maintenance and yard upkeep can be a pain, and they only get more inconvenient over time. The COVID-19 pandemic has added a whole new level of stress to home maintenance, adding complexity to the decision of which maintenance professionals should be allowed into the home at all!
Many older adults would prefer to spend their retirement having fun, making connections, and investing their time and money in the things that really matter. Others want to avoid the epidemic of loneliness and isolation that the pandemic has brought to the forefront. With that in mind, Sierra View Homes Retirement Community offers two housing options that support your social, emotional, and physical well-being.
Sierra View Homes Retirement Living Center in Reedley, CA (just south of Fresno) consists of 63 garden apartments and 52 modern senior apartments in a three-story building specifically designed for active adults over 55. No longer burdened with home maintenance or the upkeep of a yard, residents are free to pursue their individual interests and participate in community activities.
“The pandemic showed me that my senior apartment at Sierra View is the best of both worlds. I have friendship, community, and resources like meal delivery and grocery shopping services when I need them. However, I also have the freedom to go shopping myself when I feel comfortable doing so, and the ability to just jump in the car and go when I need to get out of the house! I feel so sorry for my friends who are stuck in their homes with no one looking out for them and no community resources to draw upon. Moving to Sierra View was the best choice I’ve ever made.”
