FYI Safety Score

5.2 Below Average

Sierra Ridge Senior Living has received 5 state citations and 4 verified complaints since 2023 across 32 inspections. A 2025 complaint investigation documented a resident whose pressure wound progressed to stage 4, with inspectors finding that wound dressing changes were not done frequently enough and that staff were not repositioning the resident every 2 hours as required, with documented gaps of up to 5 hours. Freedom-of-movement violations were also verified: in August 2025, inspectors confirmed staff prevented a resident from leaving the facility and denied family visitors; the same violation was substantiated again in October 2025 as a repeat offense within 12 months, resulting in civil penalties of $250 plus $100 per day until corrected. February 2026 investigations into understaffing and inadequate supervision were found unsubstantiated, with records showing staff levels have been increasing in recent months.
