Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Hughson
For a city its size, Hughson has an unusual amount of care work. Samaritan Village, on Fox Road, carries a CDSS license as an elderly residential care community sized for 277 residents, and a home care organization, Hughson Samaritan Home Care, is licensed at the same address. On Euclid Avenue, Community Hospice runs the Alexander Cohen Hospice House, which opened on March 7, 2005: 16 private patient rooms for people whose pain or symptoms cannot be managed at home and need nursing around the clock, and for short respite stays when a family caregiver needs a break. CDPH licenses it as a 16-bed hospice facility.
Work inside private homes makes up the rest. ACS 2020–2024 counts 1,353 Hughson residents aged 65 or older, 282 of them 85 or older, and more than half (52.0%) of those seniors live with a disability, so expect requests that involve hands-on help with transfers, bathing and toileting, not only companionship. In 38.9% of the city's 2,812 households at least one member is 65-plus, and about 421 older residents live by themselves.

Caregiver pay in Hughson: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Modesto, CA metro (Stanislaus 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, Modesto, CA metro (Stanislaus County) | $16.50 median ($17.20 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 9,160 jobs; concentration 1.7× national |
| IHSS provider wage, Stanislaus County | $18.75 | CDSS; effective July 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Nursing assistants, Modesto, CA metro (Stanislaus County) | $22.38 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.
About 4.8% of Hughson's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates, well under Stanislaus County's 7.0% and below the state's 5.3%; monthly figures ranged from 4.4% to 5.2% for a labor force of about 3,350. Stanislaus County raised its IHSS provider wage to $18.75 on July 1, 2026, and enrollment is covered in our Stanislaus County IHSS guide. No Hughson wage law appears in the UC Berkeley Labor Center tracker, so families and agencies hiring in Hughson start from the $16.90 state minimum. The Modesto metro's nursing assistants earned a $22.38 median in May 2025, the next step up for someone who finishes a CNA course.
