Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Meadow Vista
Meadow Vista, CA is governed directly by Placer County; for statistics it is a census-designated place (CDP), and residents' formal channel to the county is the Meadow Vista Municipal Advisory Council, a group of residents appointed by the Board of Supervisors that meets when planning or land-use items come up. Fire protection comes from the Placer Hills Fire Protection District, whose administration office is at 17020 Placer Hills Road in Meadow Vista. For a caregiver, the practical point is how few care employers are based here. The CDSS licensing file (May 2025) shows a single licensed residential care home in 95722, with three beds, and no home care agency; the CDPH facility list has no nursing home, hospice, home health agency or clinic, and HRSA lists no health center site.
That makes Meadow Vista a market of private households. Older residents are a larger share of the population here than in Placer County as a whole (20.5% aged 65 or over): the ACS 2020–2024 counts 1,163 people aged 65 or over, or 36.8% of residents, and in 56.0% of households at least one person is 65-plus. In your profile, state where you live, how far you will drive, and which days you can commit to every week.

Types of caregiver jobs in Meadow Vista
With 90.0% of homes owner-occupied and 91.3% of housing in detached houses, most Meadow Vista jobs are in a client's own home. Requests usually cover cooking, light housework, help with bathing, medication reminders and driving to appointments or shopping. Of the 1,163 older residents, 251 report a disability and 109 live alone, so some jobs are short daily check-ins rather than long shifts. Newer caregivers often start with errands, companionship or a regular afternoon of respite for a spouse.

Caregiver pay in Meadow Vista: 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 (Placer, Sacramento, El Dorado, Yolo); 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 (Placer, Sacramento, El Dorado, Yolo) | $16.50 median ($17.20 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 60,350 jobs; concentration 2.02× national |
| IHSS provider wage, Placer County | $19.38 | CDSS; effective September 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.
EDD puts about 2.1% of Meadow Vista's labor force as unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, compared with Placer County's 4.2% and California's 5.3%. Because EDD models figures for unincorporated places from county totals, the rate for a labor force of about 1,380 is an approximation; the monthly values ran from 1.8% to 2.3%. The benchmark that matters more for your rate is IHSS. Meadow Vista clients are Placer County cases, paid at $19.38 an hour since September 1, 2026 (enrollment steps are in our Placer County IHSS guide). A client living across the county line in Nevada County would be paid at that county's $18.50 instead. The Berkeley Labor Center inventory holds no ordinance for unincorporated Placer County, so private pay cannot go below the state's $16.90.
How to enroll as a provider in Placer County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS Placer 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.

IHSS clients apply through Placer County adult intake at 916-787-8860, and you then enroll as their provider. Read our California requirements guide for the details.
