Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Quincy
Quincy has no city government. In census geography it is a census-designated place, and East Quincy is drawn as a different one. That split makes the headline population look small. ACS 2020–2024 puts Quincy CDP at 1,317 residents (margin 381) and East Quincy at 2,723 (margin 804), while Feather River College describes Quincy as the largest town in Plumas County. For a caregiver, the useful number is the age profile: Quincy's median age is 59.2, and 371 residents, 28.2%, are 65 or older. Of its 482 households, 51.5% have at least one member that age.
Quincy is also where several of the county's care employers are based. Plumas District Hospital on Bucks Lake Road employs 235 people, runs the town's rural health clinic and operates a skilled nursing unit, and the only home health agency in the state's Plumas listings has a Quincy address. On October 20, 2026, the hospital's job board showed 46 open roles, three of them for certified nursing assistants. A private-care profile that mentions hospital or nursing-unit experience, or a CNA course in progress, is worth putting near the top for Quincy families.

Types of caregiver jobs in Quincy
Work in Quincy splits between facility shifts and home care. On the facility side, the hospital posts CNA jobs for its acute floor and its nursing unit, both full-time and per diem. At home, families want help with a bath, lunch, pill reminders and a ride to clinic visits on Bucks Lake Road, and IHSS clients choose their own provider. If you have no experience yet, the Feather River College course on Golden Eagle Avenue can take you from no certificate to exam-eligible in eight weeks.

Caregiver pay in Quincy: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the North Valley-Northern Mountains Region of California nonmetropolitan area (includes Plumas 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, North Valley-Northern Mountains Region of California nonmetropolitan area (includes Plumas County) | $16.50 median ($17.00 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 5,000 jobs; concentration 1.73× national |
| IHSS provider wage, Plumas County | $18.50 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Nursing assistants, North Valley-Northern Mountains Region of California nonmetropolitan area (includes Plumas County) | $22.66 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's figures show about 11.5% of Quincy's labor force out of work, on average, across the twelve months from August 2025 to August 2026, against 7.4% across Plumas County and 5.3% in California. Quincy's labor force averaged only about 696 people, and EDD builds small-area numbers out of Plumas County totals, so read it loosely; monthly estimates swung between 8.6% and 16.3%. Paid caregiving holds up in that kind of market, and the Plumas County IHSS guide explains how to get paid by the county. Plumas IHSS pays $18.50 an hour, $1.60 over the state floor, and the Berkeley inventory lists no Quincy wage ordinance. Hospital rates run higher: Plumas District Hospital's per diem acute-care CNA posting listed a base of $28.26 to $40.29 an hour on its 13-step scale, without benefits, for 12-hour variable shifts.
How to enroll as a provider in Plumas County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS Plumas 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 Quincy
No state license stands between you and a Quincy family that wants personal care and household help. You need a Home Care Aide Registry listing only if a licensed agency puts you on staff. Every hospital CNA posting asks for a California nurse assistant certificate and current CPR. To enroll as an IHSS provider, you deal with Plumas County Social Services, whose office is in town at 270 County Hospital Road, Suite 207, (530) 283-6350. In the county's own words, IHSS lets eligible older, blind or disabled people, including children, stay safely at home instead of moving to a care facility. Paid care for an elder also makes you a mandated reporter of abuse. The full statewide rules are in California caregiver requirements.
