Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Arbuckle
As a census-designated place with no town government, Arbuckle relies on Colusa County departments for public services. In the state's files the town has two licensed health sites and no residential care. The October 16, 2026 CDPH listing shows Ampla Health Arbuckle Medical & Dental, a federally qualified health center at 89 Putnam Way, and the Arbuckle Health Clinic, a rural health clinic at 900 King Street affiliated with Colusa Medical Center. Community care licensing data from May 2025 has nothing in 95912: no RCFE, no adult residential home, no home care organization.
So paid caregiving here happens in private homes, through Colusa County IHSS or a family's own budget. Colusa Medical Center's home health agency in Colusa, which sends aides on physician orders, is the main care employer serving the town. ACS shows Spanish in the homes of 62.8% of residents five and older, and 31.0% are not fluent in English; lead with Spanish if you speak it. Name the towns you will drive to as well; 81.5% of Arbuckle workers drive alone, and ACS counts zero transit commuters.

Who is the employer. A family that hires you directly is your employer under California's Domestic Worker Bill of Rights. The state minimum wage ($16.90 an hour from 1 January 2026; some cities set more, for example $17.75 in the City of San Diego) is the legal floor, and a personal attendant earns overtime at 1.5× after 9 hours in a day or 45 in a week. The main exceptions are IHSS recipients and an employer's own parent, spouse or child. Source: California DIR, Domestic Worker Bill of Rights FAQ.
About 3.8% of Arbuckle's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates. Colusa County as a whole averaged 12.8% and California 5.3% over the same twelve months. EDD estimates unincorporated places like Arbuckle from county figures, so the rate is approximate, and with roughly 1,698 people in the labor force it varied through the year, from 2.5% in the lowest month to 5.7% in the highest. Colusa IHSS pays providers $17.40 an hour; the Colusa IHSS guide covers enrollment.

The county history page puts Arbuckle six miles from the Yolo County line; Yolo IHSS clients pay providers $19.05.

Caregiver requirements in California, applied to Arbuckle

Social Services, 251 E. Webster Street in Colusa, answers (530) 458-0280, which also takes round-the-clock abuse reports; WIC §15630 obliges caregivers to report.
