Sierra Rehabilitation and Care Community

Sierra Rehabilitation and Care Community is a diverse community with two distinct neighborhoods. Sierra meets the complex medical and behavioral needs of the community. sarvatA is the non-secured neighborhood where we care for the mind, body and soul within a creative environment. prasAda, Piñon Management’s innovative holistic mental health program, is Sierra’s neighborhood approach to caring for persons with behavioral needs in a secured, calm setting environment.
