Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Cloverdale
Paid care work inside Cloverdale centers on a handful of licensed employers and on private households. CDPH's facility listing (data date October 16, 2026) shows one skilled nursing facility in the city, Cloverdale Healthcare Center at 300 Cherry Creek Road, licensed for 72 beds; nursing facilities like it hire certified nursing assistants. The state's community care licensing file (dated May 25, 2025) shows four licensed elder care homes (RCFEs) at Cloverdale addresses, with 124 beds between them. Vine Ridge Senior Living on Treadway Drive is by far the largest, licensed for 99 residents. Cloverdale Better Living Senior Care on Cherry Creek Road holds a license for 13, and two six-bed homes, Caring Hands at Cloverdale and The Villas at Cloverdale, share an address on West Third Street.
The same licensing data shows no hospice, home health agency, home care organization or adult residential facility at a Cloverdale address, so agency shifts here are usually staffed from offices in Santa Rosa or elsewhere. That leaves room for independent caregivers who live in town. In your profile, say plainly that you live locally, how far out of town you will drive, and whether a client across the county line in Mendocino County is on your list.
Bilingual applicants have an edge here. In ACS 2020–2024, 29.9% of Cloverdale residents aged five or older use Spanish at home, 14.4% report speaking English less than very well, 37.5% of residents are Hispanic or Latino. Most workers commute by car (77.7% drive alone, 0.3% use transit), with a mean trip of 25.3 minutes.

Caregiver pay in Cloverdale: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Santa Rosa–Petaluma, CA metro; 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, Santa Rosa–Petaluma, CA metro | $17.72 median | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 10,150 jobs; concentration 1.79× national |
| IHSS provider wage, Sonoma County | $20.25 | CDSS; effective March 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 2.1% of Cloverdale's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates. Its labor force averaged about 4,617 people and the monthly rate stayed between 1.8% and 2.3%. That compares with 4.3% for Sonoma County and 5.3% for California. Pay rates tell a caregiver more. A Sonoma County IHSS client's provider earns $20.25 an hour from March 1, 2026; how to enroll is in our Sonoma County IHSS guide. Mendocino County sets its own IHSS rate ($19.71 since January 1, 2026, in the same CDSS table); the rate depends on which county the client calls home, wherever the provider lives.
The Santa Rosa–Petaluma metro, which BLS draws as the whole of Sonoma County, counted 10,150 aides in this occupation in May 2025, earning a $17.72 median. UC Berkeley's Labor Center tracker shows no Cloverdale wage ordinance, so the floor in the city is the state's $16.90; the higher Santa Rosa and Petaluma minimums stop at those cities' limits. The Domestic Worker Bill of Rights covers personal attendants that a family hires itself: a shift of more than nine hours, or a working week longer than 45, earns time and a half. Given a median household income of $117,177 and a median gross rent of $1,435 in ACS 2020–2024, Cloverdale families can often pay above the floor for steady private work.
How to enroll as a provider in Sonoma County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS Sonoma 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.
