Red Bluff Health Care Center runs 58 certified beds under corporate ownership, and its staffing sits slightly under the national average at 3.75 nurse hours per resident day. That's a modest gap, and weekends dip only about 1% below weekdays, so coverage stays fairly even. What stands out more is turnover: 32.1% against a national average of 45.8%, meaning this home retains caregivers better than most. The tradeoff shows up in its inspection record, 26 deficiencies, one abuse-related, and 10 fines totaling $47,637, though none reached harm or jeopardy level, and the most recent inspection was January 2026. Strong quality and staffing marks sit alongside that compliance history.
