Our most recent whole house craft was a huge hit!

Residents chose their own designs, traced and painted them onto pillowcases, and each walked away with a beautiful decorative pillow they created themselves. The room was full of creativity, laughter, and pride as everyone’s unique designs came to life.

Such a fun and memorable day!

We "Goat Some Love" last weekend with Happy Hooves out of Red Bluff!

Our residents had a wonderful day with the Happy Hooves petting zoo—from goats, bunnies, and silky chickens to pups and colorful mini horses.

Thank you to this amazing family-owned business for bringing the animals up close; creating joy, laughter, and a beautiful sensory experience for all!

P.S. Don’t miss the last picture — one of the family members (an airborne veteran!) gave us a hilarious shadow show with the dog chasing shadows, plus a chicken riding a mini horse! 🐔🐴😂

What a perfect way to celebrate National Aviation Day earlier this week!

Residents put together their own gliders and headed outside for some friendly competition. After a fun-filled glider race, Fuzzy soared into 1st place with the longest flight, followed by Jack in 2nd, Mark in 3rd, and Tom taking 4th.

Smiles, laughter, and high-flying fun made for a beautiful day of aviation-themed celebration!

PLAY MATTERS!

Did you know that intergenerational activities are hugely beneficial to us all, no matter our age? Kids learn skills such as understanding social cues, cause and effect, and sharing and cooperation. Older adults enjoy social connections, can improve their capability and dexterity, and share joy in the moment while engaging with youngsters.

Recently, we welcomed some kids on summer break into our Home to do an all-time favorite activity of kids of ALL ages - build Legos! The kids were each teamed up with a resident to get to building. Each pair selected a project or two, and what was supposed to be a one-hour activity turned into several hours because they were all so into it!

Building Lego kits has become one of the hottest activities in our Home lately and we can't seem to keep enough kits in stock to keep up with them.

Interested in donating Legos to our Home? We'd happily accept them! Please call our Activities department at 530-224-3300, option 3, to make arrangements.

We were thrilled to recently welcome Charity from Amazing Alheri into our Home with her delicious Nigerian food for our residents to sample. Charity landed in Redding from Nigeria, and she loves to share her culture, customs, and food with everyone!

Charity and her husband Kobina, who is from Ghana, operate Amazing Alheri and their food can also be found at the Jolluf U Love African Market in Redding. She prepared jollof rice, stewed chicken beef suya, puff puffs, and a side salad for our residents to enjoy. It's always interesting and exciting to hear about different cultures and try new foods and our residents loved it!

Charity, thank you for your generosity and kindness!

A big thank you to local community member Pat Karch and his lovely wife Pam for spending some time with Army veteran and resident Frank sprucing up our Home's bocce ball court!

Pat is also a musician who comes regularly to the Home to play for our residents, AND he is the bocce ball coach at Redding School of the Arts. Rumor has it that there may soon be a match scheduled between our valiant veterans and Pat's terrific team!

Stay tuned.....

History took flight on our latest adventure!

Our most recent visit to the Chico Air Museum brought us face-to-face with incredible aircraft and even more incredible stories. The highlight of the day was the Lockheed P2, which holds a crew of 11, and we had the honor of hearing firsthand from one of our own veterans who once served aboard it. His detailed memories captivated not only us but also the museum docents, who said it was a once-in-a-lifetime chance to hear such living history.

After exploring the skies of the past, we landed at CJ’s Last Chance Diner, where we enjoyed hearty home-cooked meals, warm hospitality, and the joy of having a veteran’s daughter and son-in-law join in the fun. Truly a day of history, camaraderie, and great food!

Note: We even saw and took pictures with a famous movie star! Can you name him????

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.
