Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Oak View
Oak View has no city hall and no hospital, so care work here is arranged household by household. CDPH's licensed facility list (October 16, 2026 data) shows a single site in ZIP 93022, the Community Memorial clinic at 655 North Ventura Avenue, a rural health clinic that Community Memorial Health System calls its Ojai health center (805-649-3750). No home health agency, hospice or skilled nursing facility appears in the ZIP. CDSS licensing data from May 25, 2025 adds a six-bed elderly care home, while a 56-bed assisted living site on Rockaway Road shut on January 16, 2025. Paid hours inside Oak View therefore come mostly from private households and IHSS clients.
The bigger employers sit in the City of Ojai, ZIP 93023, and CDPH lists them by name: Community Memorial Hospital–Ojai (25 beds) and the Community Memorial Continuing Care Center (75 skilled nursing beds), both on Maricopa Highway; Ojai Health & Rehabilitation (74 beds) on North Montgomery Street; and Livingston Memorial VNA, licensed for home health and for hospice care at a Maricopa Highway suite. Want agency or facility shifts as well as private clients? Say so in your profile. Spanish helps with some families but not most: it is spoken at home by 17.0% of residents past age four (ACS 2020–2024).

Caregiver pay in Oak View: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Oxnard–Thousand Oaks–Ventura, CA metro (Ventura 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, Oxnard–Thousand Oaks–Ventura, CA metro (Ventura County) | $16.50 median ($17.88 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 15,250 jobs; concentration 1.7× national |
| IHSS provider wage, Ventura County | $20.97 | CDSS; effective July 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Nursing assistants, Oxnard–Thousand Oaks–Ventura, CA metro (Ventura County) | $22.50 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 3.7% of Oak View's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates, against 4.7% for Ventura County and 5.3% statewide; the monthly readings ran from 3.0% to 4.1% for a labor force near 2,970. EDD builds figures for census-designated places like Oak View out of county data, so the number is approximate, and small-place estimates can swing between months. For pay, the anchor is the $20.97 an hour Ventura County IHSS pays every provider from July 1, 2026, with travel time and overtime claimable and sick time after 200 hours worked. The Ventura County IHSS guide covers enrollment.
Being unincorporated, Oak View cannot set a wage of its own, and UC Berkeley's Labor Center tracks no ordinance for Ventura County or any city in it. A private Oak View employer therefore owes at least California's $16.90. BLS reports the whole county as one metro, where aides earned a $16.50 median and $17.88 mean in May 2025. Households here have a median income of $110,440 (ACS), so price your experience accordingly. When a household is your direct employer, the overtime premium (1.5 times your rate) applies to a tenth hour in a day and a 46th hour in a week.
How to enroll as a provider in Ventura County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS Ventura 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 Oak View
No state license is required when an Oak View family pays you for non-medical help. Agencies licensed as home care organizations must get each aide onto the CDSS Home Care Aide Registry ($35) before placing them; for independent caregivers, registering is optional. IHSS enrollment starts with the county Public Authority (805-654-3416), which schedules your orientation, with a separate session for relatives and friends. Bring a government-issued ID plus the original of your Social Security card, and budget for the Live Scan fingerprint check, which IHSS does not pay for; registry candidates also have a phone interview. The skilled nursing beds in Ojai hire CDPH-certified nursing assistants. WIC §15630 obliges you to report suspected elder abuse: call Ventura County's 24-hour line, 805-654-3200, or report online, which also satisfies the rule. Statewide rules are collected in California caregiver requirements.
