Caregiver Jobs in Benicia, CA

In Benicia, paid care is mostly done in private homes; the list of licensed facilities is short. Search CDPH's October 16, 2026 facility file for 94510 and you find no hospital, nursing home, hospice or home health license; the licensed health sites in town are a dialysis center on First Street and a surgery center on East Fifth Street. State licensing records dated May 25, 2025 show five licensed elder care homes in Benicia, 27 beds in all, plus two small adult residential homes, and not one licensed home care organization. Pace Solano, a nonprofit that serves adults with disabilities, holds a license for a 35-person adult day program on Military East, which is worth a call if you have direct-support experience.

That leaves households as the main employer. In ACS 2020–2024, 4,654 of Benicia's 11,051 households (42.1%) include a person past 65, and roughly 1,929 older residents living alone, 1,561 of them women. Many family members commute: two in three Benicia workers (66.3%) drive alone, average trip 28.7 minutes, and only 1.8% take transit. Build your profile around 94510, the hours you can cover while relatives are at work, and whether you can drive a client in your own car. Filipino residents are 5.5% of the city and Spanish is a home language for 7.5% of those five and older; list Tagalog or Spanish early if you have it.

Helping a Benicia household with non-medical care does not require a state license. Because no home care organization is licensed in the city, an agency job here usually means working for one based elsewhere, and the agency is required to register each aide it employs with California (CDSS sets the Home Care Aide fee at $35). The Solano County IHSS Public Authority, 275 Beck Avenue in Fairfield, (707) 784-8200, recruits registry providers who can use their own car to take clients to appointments, are willing to help with personal care including bowel and bladder care, and can pass a criminal background check; it asks for two work references. CNA or home health aide certificates are welcome but not required. Under Welfare and Institutions Code §15630 you must report suspected abuse; Solano APS takes calls at 707-784-8259 x 2 and after hours at 800-850-0012. More in our California requirements guide.
