Caregiver pay in Burney: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Redding, CA metro (Shasta County); private rates on CaregiverConnect are agreed between each caregiver and family and are not tracked by any agency.
| Measure | Hourly | Source and coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Home health and personal care aides, Redding, CA metro (Shasta County) | $16.50 median ($16.98 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 5,500 jobs; concentration 2.78× national |
| IHSS provider wage, Shasta County | $18.50 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
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 7.8% of Burney's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates, out of roughly 800 people in that labor force; the monthly figure moved between 6.6% and 8.6%. Burney is a census-designated place, and EDD estimates places this small from county totals, so treat the figure as approximate. It sits above Shasta County's 5.3%, which itself equals the statewide 5.3%. In ACS 2020–2024, 23.7% of employed residents work in education, health care and social assistance. Hours approved through Shasta County IHSS pay $18.50 an hour
The UC Berkeley Labor Center's inventory, last modified on September 30, 2026, lists no Shasta County jurisdiction with its own wage law, so the state's $16.90 applies to private work in Burney. Personal attendants are due 1.5 times their rate for hours beyond nine in one day or 45 in one week. With the metro aide median at $16.50, the IHSS rate is the better benchmark when a family asks what to pay, and with 66.1% of Burney residents on public health coverage, many clients will ask whether IHSS can cover some hours.
How to enroll as a provider in Shasta County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS Shasta County guide. IHSS wages for every county we cover, with effective dates, are in the IHSS pay by county guide.
How the public numbers relate to private rates, and what affects them, is covered in the caregiver pay guide.
Caregiver requirements in California, applied to Burney
Because Burney has no city government, only state and county rules apply. Help you arrange directly with a family needs no license. Work for a licensed home care agency requires a listing on the state Home Care Aide Registry, and jobs inside the Mayers skilled nursing unit generally call for a CDPH nursing assistant certificate. IHSS enrollment for a Burney client is handled by Shasta County's IHSS office in Redding; book the orientation on (530) 225-5507, and the Shasta County IHSS guide covers the paperwork. The Attorney General's Live Scan list for Shasta County shows fingerprint sites only in Redding and Anderson, so plan that trip in advance. Every paid caregiver is a mandated reporter of suspected elder or dependent adult abuse under state law. For the statewide picture, see California caregiver requirements.

Burney in numbers
Two-thirds of Burney homes are owner-occupied (67.6%), and the median owner home is valued at $234,100 in ACS 2020–2024. Renters pay a median of $1,110 a month. Much of the housing stock is old: 27.7% of homes were built in the 1970s and 14.1% in the 1940s, so expect steps, narrow bathrooms and older fixtures when you plan transfers or bathing. In 6.3% of households there is no car at all. Veterans are 11.1% of adults, and among residents 65 and over, women outnumber men (541 of 915). The median household income is $65,969, and 10.9% of residents 65 and older live below the poverty line.
Health care in town is outpatient. CDPH's facility file lists the Mountain Valleys Burney Health Center and Burney Alternative Health Center, the Burney Dental Center, the Mayers Rural Health Center and the Pit River Health Service clinic on Park Avenue. The same CDSS licensing file that shows the adult day program lists no residential care home for the elderly and no licensed home care organization with a Burney address; every Shasta County home care organization in it is in Redding or Anderson. That leaves private hiring, IHSS and the Mayers nursing home as the main ways care reaches older residents. Related pages: Shingletown, Shasta Lake, Redding, Dunsmuir and the Shasta County hub.

Caregiver jobs in Burney: frequently asked questions
Is unemployment in Burney higher than in Shasta County?
EDD's estimate for Burney averaged about 7.8% from August 2025 to August 2026, against 5.3% for both Shasta County and California. Burney is a census-designated place, so EDD derives the number from county data and it is approximate.
What does IHSS pay a Burney caregiver?
$18.50 an hour, the Shasta County provider rate in the CDSS table since January 1, 2026. The rate comes from the county where your client lives, and Burney clients are Shasta County clients.
Who employs aides in Burney besides private families?
Mayers Memorial Healthcare District runs skilled nursing and memory care in Burney and a rural health clinic on Commerce Way, and Intermountain Disability Services runs a licensed adult day program on Hwy 299E. Mountain Valleys Health Centers hires clinic staff such as medical assistants.
Can I train as a CNA without moving to Redding?
Partly. Shasta College's Intermountain Campus in Burney offers online and interactive television classes, counseling and financial aid, but the nurse aide program is run by the Health Sciences division in Redding, so ask the campus which parts you can do locally.
Is there a bus between Burney and Redding?
Yes, RABA's 299X Burney Express runs on weekdays, with no Saturday or Sunday service. Burney is also inside the ShastaConnect zone list for weekday door-to-door rides, booked on (530) 226-3075.
Where do I get fingerprinted for IHSS from Burney?
The Attorney General lists no Live Scan site in Burney. The Shasta County sites on its list are in Redding and Anderson; check hours and fees there before you drive.
