The 5 Best Nursing Homes in Redding, CA for 2024

Situated in northern California’s Shasta County, Redding is an ideal town for seniors who enjoy mild winters and a relatively low cost of living. It’s estimated that 17,406 of the city’s 92,590 residents are over the age of 65, which is nearly 14% more seniors per capita than the national average of 16.5%. Within the city and surrounding towns, residents have several options for health care including the award-winning Shasta Regional Medical Center, ranked among the best medical facilities for cardiovascular care.

In Redding’s nursing homes, physicians and licensed nurses supervise residents around the clock. In addition to checking vital signs, diabetes management and assisting with daily living activities, nursing facilities often have on-site rehabilitative services such as speech, physical and occupational therapy. Seniors with less critical medical conditions may want to consider home care or assisted living, especially since Redding’s $10,357 average monthly cost of nursing home care is well above the state and national averages.

This guide covers the costs of senior care in Redding. Additionally, we’ve included a list of government-funded advocacy services and programs that can help seniors finance nursing home care or put off moving into an institutional setting by receiving various care services at home.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Redding, California

Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.

  • Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
  • Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
  • Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.

If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
