Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Fair Oaks
Fair Oaks has no city government. It is an unincorporated census-designated place of Sacramento County, and its parks, classes and senior activities come from the Fair Oaks Recreation and Park District, which says it serves an estimated 35,000 residents across 11 square miles and works only within the Fair Oaks community. The district office is at 4150 Temescal Street. On your profile, enter 95628 or wherever you start from, and set a radius that matches how you actually get around.
The ZIP holds a fuller mix of care employers than its size suggests. CDPH's October 2026 facility list shows Fair Oaks Healthcare Center, a 149-bed skilled nursing facility on Fair Oaks Boulevard, two home health agencies and two hospice offices. The May 2025 CDSS file adds 53 licensed elder care homes (RCFEs), two licensed home care organizations and seven adult residential facilities. That gives you three routes in: a CNA job at the nursing center, an aide job with an agency, or a private hire by a family. About 3,560 residents are 75 or older, so say plainly what you have done for clients with dementia, Parkinson's, falls or a recent hospital stay.

Types of caregiver jobs in Fair Oaks
ACS 2020–2024 counts about 1,880 Fair Oaks residents aged 65 or older who live alone, around 1,270 of them women, and 30.2% of people 65 and up living outside institutions have a disability, by the survey's measure. Expect posts for help with bathing and dressing, meal preparation, medication prompts, light housework, transport to appointments and, for clients with advancing dementia, evening or overnight supervision. A first job without paid experience is realistic as a companion and errand helper; the two licensed home care agencies in 95628 and the 49 small six-bed care homes are also worth asking about entry-level shifts.

Caregiver pay in Fair Oaks: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom, CA metro (Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties); 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, Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom, CA metro (Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties) | $16.50 median ($17.20 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 60,350 jobs; concentration 2.02× national |
| IHSS provider wage, Sacramento County | $19.15 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Nursing assistants, Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom, CA metro (Sacramento, Placer, El Dorado and Yolo counties) | $22.84 median | BLS OEWS, May 2025 (certified roles, for comparison) |
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.
EDD estimates that about 4.5% of the Fair Oaks labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, below Sacramento County's 5.0% and California's 5.3%. Monthly values ran from 3.8% to 5.0% across an average labor force of roughly 16,125, and since EDD derives figures for census-designated places like Fair Oaks from county totals, treat the number as an approximation. What sets pay is simpler. No local minimum wage applies: the UC Berkeley Labor Center's July 2026 inventory has no entry for Sacramento County or any community in it, so agencies and families must pay at least the state's $16.90. Sacramento County IHSS pays $19.15 an hour; the county IHSS guide walks through enrollment. The CNA median for the metro, $22.84 in the May 2025 BLS survey, is the figure to compare if you are weighing certification for a job at Fair Oaks Healthcare Center.
How to enroll as a provider in Sacramento County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS Sacramento 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 Fair Oaks
Nothing about Fair Oaks changes the state rules. When a family pays you directly for non-medical help, no license is required of you. If you join Homewatch Caregivers of Folsom or the other licensed home care organization with a Fair Oaks address, you must be on California's Home Care Aide Registry before the agency places you with a client. Fair Oaks Healthcare Center employs CNAs, who need CDPH certification, and the home health agencies need certified home health aides. For IHSS hours, the Sacramento County Public Authority handles enrollment online through BOUNDS, followed by an in-person appointment with your photo ID and Social Security card and a fingerprint check on its own DOJ form. The law makes you a mandated reporter of suspected elder abuse; the county APS hotline is (916) 874-9377. See the requirements guide for detail.
