Caregiver Jobs in Dixon, CA

Most paid care in Dixon happens in ordinary houses, with a handful of licensed employers on top. CDPH's licensed facility list, as of October 16, 2026, puts no hospital, hospice, home health agency or skilled nursing home at a Dixon address. What it does list is a community clinic run by Community Medical Centers on West A Street, a 12-station dialysis center on North Lincoln Street, and Crossroads and Crossroads II, two six-bed homes licensed as intermediate care facilities for adults with developmental disabilities. State community care licensing records (file dated May 25, 2025) add the two bigger employers: The Farmstead at Dixon on Gateway Drive (96 licensed beds) and, on South Jefferson Street, Solano Life House Assisted Living & Memory Care (38). Two licensed home care organizations list Dixon addresses: GentleHands Home Care and House of Plenty Homecare.

The rest of the work comes from families. In ACS 2020–2024, 2,010 of Dixon's 6,813 households (29.5%) include a resident 65 or over, and about 700 older residents live alone, 399 of them women. Relatives tend to drive to their own jobs: 80.3% of Dixon workers commute alone by car, the average trip takes 26.7 minutes, and the survey counts essentially no one riding transit to work. That makes weekday daytime cover the most common gap. In ACS figures, 27.4% of Dixon residents past their fifth birthday use Spanish at home, and roughly one in two of those Spanish speakers rates their English below very well. Bilingual applicants should make that the opening line of a profile.

No state license is needed to help a Dixon family with non-medical care that it pays for itself. Agency work adds one step: before GentleHands, House of Plenty or another licensed home care organization sends you to a client, your name has to be on California's aide registry ($35, renewed every two years). Assisted living homes such as The Farmstead and Solano Life House are licensed by CDSS and train their own staff, while nursing homes and hospitals elsewhere hire CDPH-certified nursing assistants. To be paid through IHSS for a Dixon client, enroll with Solano County; the Public Authority registry, (707) 784-8200, also wants your own car, two work references and a background check. Welfare and Institutions Code §15630 makes every caregiver a mandated reporter of suspected abuse; call Solano APS at 707-784-8259 x 2, or 800-850-0012 after hours.
