Redbud Care Home

Redbud Care Home sits at 920 Redbud Dr in Redding, California, and acts as a small seven-bed Residential Care Facility for the Elderly, sometimes called an RCFE or "Board & Care." The home's licensed by the state and lets seniors live in a quiet, home-like place where caregivers help with daily needs such as bathing, dressing, medication, toileting, and transferring, and this is done all day and night, with staff around at all times for safety and support. Redbud Care Home offers both private and semi-private furnished rooms, allows couples to live together, and takes ambulatory, non-ambulatory, dementia, and hospice residents, and you'll find that the staff will help schedule and get seniors to doctor's appointments, outings, and shopping with a van that takes trips every week to places like lakes or local markets. The home is pet-friendly, serves three homemade meals and snacks each day using local food, and can adjust for diabetes or other special diets as requested, always paying attention to each person's food choices and allergies, and once in a while, residents get to enjoy a visit from a mobile barber or hairdresser. Activity programs run every day with the help of a full-time activity coordinator, and things like music therapy, games, crafts, gentle exercise, bingo, movie nights, gardening, and outings help keep people engaged, while the secured perimeter gives an extra layer of comfort for residents with memory needs. Redbud Care Home is part of a small network of five group homes in Redding, where the owners-one being a registered nurse-work to keep caregivers experienced and well-trained, giving them some of the highest pay in the area to help residents always see familiar faces. Residents get regular health checks, incontinence care, and can get hospice care or on-site physical therapy if they need it, plus the administrators are at the facility each day and always on call in case family or residents need something after hours. Families are welcome to visit and join in care planning, the setting is calm and personal, and each resident gets one-on-one help when required, and since Redbud Care Home only accepts private pay, families need to plan for costs without Medicare or Medi-Cal coverage. This smaller setup, compared to bigger assisted living places, means most people living there have mild cognitive impairments with few behavior issues, and they get a kind of quiet, reliable companionship and steady care in a home where every face is familiar and each day is planned with their abilities and preferences in mind.
