Last Sunday was the perfect opportunity for one of our residents to take to the skies over Redding with her sister and nephew!

They made sure to fly over the Northern California Veterans Cemetery and got this beautiful shot. What a gorgeous view!

It’s that time again - the most wonderful time of the year! The community support in and around Redding never fails to show up in a big way for our annual Adopt-a-Vet event.

This year, it will be on Friday, November 14, 2025, beginning at 10:00 a.m. Our community is welcome to come into the Redding Veterans Home and select up to three resident tags per person with resident holiday wishes on them.

We will have a large Christmas tree filled with resident tags, and a smaller Christmas tree filled with tags of items that can be used by all residents.

These tags go FAST so make sure you are here early!

Our Resident Allied Council recently voted to purchase some treats for our first- and second-grade buddies at Monarch Learning Center Charter School for Halloween!

Each bag was filled with candy and treats for the students, and our veterans spent time reading and coloring with them during our visit.

Thank you, Mr. Gillespie, for having us!

Happy Halloween!

We had a spook-tacular good time at our annual Monster Bash happy hour yesterday, complete with music by the 360 Band, drinks, and snacks from Holy Crepe Food Truck.

So many creative costumes! Of the three resident contestants, the clown was the winner. Staff participated as well, and the witches emerged victorious. The competition between all was fierce and thankfully, we had the 360 Band volunteer to be the judges and they did a fantastic job!

Thank you to our volunteers and staff who made this Halloween happy hour a hauntingly fun one!

It's that time of year again!

Our residents have spent hours using their imagination and creativity to create their perfect vintage pumpkins. We have eight fantastic entries that residents and staff will be voting on through tomorrow.

Which one is YOUR favorite?

Our residents had a wonderful time visiting with Mrs. Noble's 8th graders from Rocky Point Charter School. The class came to visit recently as part of their community projects and as an early Veterans Day treat for our veterans!

Students spent time with our residents asking them a variety of service-related questions as conversation starters. Our residents were thrilled to share their experiences in the military and really enjoyed the visit.

Thank you, Mrs. Noble and class, for the special trip to show your appreciation for our nation's heroes!

Gorgeous fall weather made for a fabulous happy hour last week under our brand-new canopy!

Delicious snacks, cold drinks, and great music from Charlie Smith was the perfect combination.

Thank you, Charlie, for coming out to play for us!

A Perfect Fall Day at Nash’s Pumpkin Ranch!

Residents enjoyed a beautiful autumn outing to Nash’s Pumpkin Ranch, a family-owned working ranch known for its pumpkins, corn, and friendly farm animals. The weather was perfect for a scenic train ride, meeting baby goats, rabbits, alpacas, and pigs, and exploring fields of colorful pumpkins.

There were lots of smiles, laughter, and even a few jokes about sneaking a baby goat home in a jacket! It was a wonderfully calm and cheerful day on the ranch.

It’s a GOAL GHOUL-ISH Breakfast!

For October's Ladies Day activity, the ladies of our Home enjoyed a spooktacular morning out at their favorite spot — Becca’s Cafe — that was filled with laughter, friendship, and fabulous food! We also had the joy of celebrating one of our lovely lady's 95th birthday, surrounded by smiles and sweet company. 💜

And if you look closely… you’ll spot our honorary “one of the girls” — Mark, our very special Supervising Rehabilitation Therapist — who joined in on the fun with full spirit! Thank you, Mark, for helping make our ladies' breakfast even more special! 🥞✨

Today we celebrated the beautiful Veterans Home of California - Redding's 12th anniversary! For 12 years, we have been blessed and honored to care for servicemembers from all different branches (we haven't had any Space Force veterans - yet).

We honor them, we respect them, and most of all, we truly CARE for them. To date, we have had 389 residents who live or have lived at our Home, and we value and appreciate each and every one of them for their service to our great country.

Our ceremony today was for residents, their families, and our staff. We started with our Home's Color Guard posting colors, followed by the Pledge of Allegiance. One of our incredibly talented employees, Noel, sang the national anthem, Deacon Rich gave an opening prayer, and our Home Administrator, Jessica, gave a heartfelt speech.

Our longest resident, Michael, is also a talented artist and some time ago, painted a picture of the front of our Home. We took that picture and made it into this year's cake (thank you,Save Mart)! He was shocked and flattered at the surprise. Deacon Rich offered a closing prayer, and we enjoyed cake, cupcakes, and coffee.

Here is to many more years of caring for our nation's heroes.

Happy Founders Day to us!

Our Story

The Veterans Home of California – Redding is located on 27 acres in the heart of the beautiful Northern Sacramento Valley. The majestic countryside setting of the home offers spectacular views of Mt. Shasta to the North and Mt. Lassen to the east and gorgeous mountains surrounding the region. Opened in October 2013, the VHC-Redding has 155 beds and presently offers Residential Care Facility for the Elderly (RCFE) and skilled Nursing (SNF). The two levels of care will provide continuity in the lives of residents in a homelike atmosphere of dignity and respect. All healthcare needs, meals, transportation and activities are provided by the Veterans Home of California-Redding. Residents in the RCFE area are required to need minimal assistance and supervision with most activities of daily living. Licensed nurses are available at the home for necessary care. Skill nursing care is provided to residents on a 24-hour basis by licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants. Skilled nursing residents have greater access to rehabilitation therapies, nursing care, pharmacy management, structured activities and clinical dietary services. A memory care program with this level of care provides a supervised environment for veterans with symptoms of confusion, memory loss, difficulty making decisions, solving problems or participating in conversations. The veteran’s home provides California veterans with a living environment that protects their dignity and contributes to their feeling of self-reliance and self-worth. The City of Redding offers many cultural and educational opportunities for Home residents to enjoy. Redding also offers wonderful tourist attractions like Shasta and Whiskeytown lakes, Shasta Dam and the world famous Sundial Bridge. Veterans considering assisted living are encouraged to apply. To qualify, you must be a resident of California, age 55 or older (or younger if disabled), and have served honorably. Spouses are also eligible to apply with the Veterans.
