All 8 Medicare-certified nursing homes in Redding,
side by side on the things that separate them: how many nursing hours each resident gets, how much of the
staff leaves each year, and what inspectors found on their last visit.
The state-run Veterans Home of California in Redding employs nurses at 5.92 hours per resident day, roughly 53% above the national average of 3.86, and its staff turnover of 38.9% sits below the national 45.8%. That staffing depth shows up in the CMS ratings: 5 out of 5 for staffing, quality measures, and 4 out of 5 on health inspections, with the most recent inspection dated April 2026.
The record isn't spotless. Twenty-one deficiencies are documented, including one at the harm or jeopardy level and three tied to abuse, plus a single fine of $8,278. Weekend coverage drops about 16% below weekday levels. Strong day-to-day staffing, a handful of serious findings worth asking about directly.
Vibra Hospital of Northern California runs 32 certified beds in Redding, and its nurse staffing sits at 6.09 hours per resident day, roughly 58% above the national average of 3.86. Weekend hours drop about 14% below its own weekday levels, so coverage thins out on Saturdays and Sundays. The current record shows 26 deficiencies, none at the harm or jeopardy level, though four are abuse-related. A May 2025 inspection is recent, and the for-profit corporate owner runs the building. High staffing and strong quality measures are doing the heavy lifting here, but those four abuse-related citations are worth asking about directly before you decide.
Copper Ridge Care Center in Redding runs a for-profit corporate operation with 125 certified beds, and the numbers tell a mixed story worth understanding. Nurse staffing sits at 4.29 hours per resident day, roughly 11% above the national average, though weekends drop about 12% below the home's own weekday levels, a gap families often notice when visiting Saturday or Sunday. Turnover runs 40.6%, better than the 45.8% national figure, which matters for continuity of care. On inspections, the home earned 5 out of 5 stars with its most recent survey in December 2025, but the record shows 16 deficiencies, including one at the harm or jeopardy level. No abuse citations appear.
Marquis Care At Shasta runs 4.58 nurse hours per resident day, roughly 19% above the national average, and that staffing shows up in a 3/5 staffing star rating. The catch is consistency: weekends drop about 11% below weekday coverage, and turnover sits at 52.8% against a national 45.8%, so the people providing that care keep changing. The bigger concern sits in the inspection record, 49 deficiencies, three tied to abuse, with a 2/5 health inspection rating, though none were flagged at the harm or jeopardy level. Ownership is corporate for-profit. Strong quality measure scores of 4/5 and the recent March 2026 inspection are the counterweights. Ask about weekend coverage and turnover directly.
Quartz Hill Post Acute runs 115 certified beds in Redding under for-profit LLC ownership. Its 4.57 nurse hours per resident day sits roughly 18% above the national average of 3.86, but weekends dip about 9% below its own weekday staffing. The 43.1% annual turnover is modestly better than the 45.8% national figure. Inspections from February 2025 left 41 deficiencies on record, none at harm or jeopardy level, though three are abuse-related, which families should ask about directly. The three-star health inspection rating and four-star marks for quality measures and staffing reflect a home that performs well on paper in care metrics while carrying a longer-than-average deficiency list to review.
River Valley runs 4.45 nurse hours per resident day against a national average of 3.86, which is a real margin in a county where a lot of homes sit under four. That staffing holds up reasonably well on weekends, dipping only about 6% from weekday levels. The tradeoff shows up in the inspection record: 45 deficiencies, two of them serious enough to reach harm or jeopardy, and two tied to abuse. A recent inspection date of May 2026 means the record reflects current conditions rather than old findings. Know that the state inspected it recently, that nurse coverage is genuinely above average, and that the deficiency count and abuse citations are the things worth asking about directly on a tour.
Redding Post Acute sits in Shasta County with 89 certified beds under for-profit LLC ownership, and its numbers tell a mixed story. Nurse staffing averages 4.47 hours per resident day, about 16% above the national average of 3.86, yet weekends run roughly 12% leaner than weekdays, so the coverage your family member gets depends partly on the calendar. Staff turnover is the real concern: 65.3% annually against a national average of 45.8%, meaning nearly two-thirds of the nursing staff leaves each year. Inspections look solid, four stars, last visit February 2026, 17 deficiencies but none at harm or jeopardy level and none abuse-related. The people caring for residents here keep changing.
Crestwood runs on thin staffing: 2.47 nurse hours per resident day, roughly a third below the national average, and weekends drop about 24% below its own weekday levels. Turnover at 31.1% is actually better than the 45.8% national figure, so the problem isn't retention so much as how few hours are budgeted per resident in the first place. The inspection record shows 14 deficiencies with no harm-level findings, but 5 are abuse-related, which is worth asking about directly. Inspectors were last out in June 2025. The 5/5 quality measure score sits oddly against a 2/5 staffing rating, quality measures can look strong while daily coverage stays lean.
