Caregiver Jobs in Oakley, CA

Care work inside Oakley is spread across private homes and small licensed residences. In CDPH's facility listing dated October 16, 2026, the city has neither a hospital nor a skilled nursing facility, and no home health or hospice office either. The CDSS licensing files list 16 licensed residential care facilities for the elderly at Oakley addresses, every one of them licensed for six residents, plus 28 licensed adult residential facilities with 150 beds between them. CDPH adds five six-bed homes in its intermediate care category for people with developmental disabilities (ICF/DD), operated by New Way Services, RMD and American Star Home. If you want shift work close to home, those homes are the first employers to call.

Four licensed home care organizations also have Oakley addresses in the CDSS file: All Phases Companion Care, Care Direct Solutions, Gracious Touch Home Care and Senior Care Plus. For a private client, write your profile around 94561 and the streets you can reach quickly. Oakley households lean on cars: in ACS 2020–2024, 72.4% of Oakley workers commuted alone by car, a mere 1.2% rode buses or trains, and the average trip took 40.3 minutes. Commutes like that can leave an older parent alone for most of a weekday.

Languages help here as well. Of residents aged five and over, 30.7% speak another language at home as well as or instead of English. The most common is Spanish, at 21.5%, and 8.6% of residents speak Spanish and told the survey their English is limited. Filipino residents make up 5.7% of the population. A caregiver fluent in Spanish or Tagalog should make it the first thing a family reads.

Private non-medical work for an Oakley family requires no state license. Joining one of the city's four licensed home care organizations changes that, because each agency has to register every aide it employs with California's Home Care Aide Registry; CDSS sets the application fee at $35. Provider enrollment for IHSS is handled by the Contra Costa IHSS Public Authority, (800) 333-1081. To join its registry you apply, sit a face-to-face interview, pass reference checks and a Live Scan background check, then attend provider orientation, and joining its registry does not promise you a client. Paid or not, a person responsible for an older or dependent adult's care has a legal duty, under Welfare and Institutions Code §15630, to report suspected abuse, and Contra Costa APS takes those calls day and night at 1 (800) 510-2020.
