Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Suisun City
Most paid care in Suisun City happens in private homes and in small licensed residences. CDPH's facility listing of October 16, 2026 places no hospital or skilled nursing home inside city limits. It does show two home health agencies with suites at One Harbor Center, National Home Health Services and Silverline Staff, and a hospice, Adya Hospice & Palliative Care, at 700 Main Street. With a CNA or home health aide certificate, start with those three.
State licensing records from May 25, 2025 count 15 elder care homes (RCFEs) at Suisun City addresses, 108 beds in all. Fourteen are homes of four to six residents; the exception is American Assisted Living on Kings Way, licensed for 30. The same file shows 15 licensed adult residential facilities (63 beds) and four licensed adult day programs, among them two Equiventure sites and Learning Without Limits on Travis Court. No licensed home care organization has a Suisun City address in that file, so agency work for non-medical aides is usually based outside the city.
For private clients, write your profile around 94585 and the neighborhoods you can reach quickly. Car travel dominates here: in ACS 2020–2024, 81.5% of Suisun City workers drove alone, only 0.4% used public transportation, and the average trip to work took 31.9 minutes. Languages matter too. Among residents five and older, 34.9% use a second language at home: 17.6% Spanish and 13.9% an Asian or Pacific Island language, and 13.6% of the city's population is Filipino. If you speak Spanish or Tagalog, put it in your first line.

Types of caregiver jobs in Suisun City
Expect posts for a few weekday hours of personal care, meal preparation and medication reminders, rides to medical offices in Fairfield, and company for a parent who spends the day alone. Some clients go to the city's senior programs at the Joseph Nelson Community Center, where people 60 and older can eat a free lunch at 11:30 on weekdays, so a shift may include the drop-off and pickup. New to paid care? Offer companionship, errands and light housekeeping first; they are the usual way into this work.

Pay
Caregiver pay in Suisun City: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Vallejo, CA metro (Solano 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, Vallejo, CA metro (Solano County) | $16.50 median ($17.89 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 7,850 jobs; concentration 1.97× national |
| IHSS provider wage, Solano County | $18.10 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Nursing assistants, Vallejo, CA metro (Solano County) | $23.51 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 5.3% of Suisun City's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates. That equals California's 5.3% and is a tenth of a point above Solano County's 5.2%; the monthly figures ranged from 4.7% to 5.8%, in a labor force of about 14,800. What matters more for a caregiver is the pay. IHSS work for a client living in Solano County pays $18.10 an hour, and our Solano IHSS guide explains enrollment.
The BLS Vallejo metro covers all of Solano County, so its May 2025 aide median of $16.50 is a county figure, collected before the state minimum rose to $16.90. No Suisun City ordinance is listed in UC Berkeley's Labor Center wage inventory, so every employer in the city answers to California's $16.90. Hired straight by a household as a personal attendant, you earn overtime once a shift passes nine hours or a week passes 45. Median household income in the city is $94,787 in ACS 2020–2024, with a median gross rent of $2,157; quote a private rate with your housing costs in mind, and charge more for dementia care, transfers or driving.
How to enroll as a provider in Solano County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS Solano 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.
Rules
Caregiver requirements in California, applied to Suisun City
Working directly for a Suisun City household on non-medical tasks requires no state license. If you join a licensed home care organization instead, it has to place you on California's Home Care Aide Registry, a two-year registration that CDSS prices at $35. The two home health agencies and the hospice at One Harbor Center and Main Street hire licensed staff such as CNAs and home health aides, certified through CDPH. IHSS pay depends on finishing Solano County's provider enrollment, which ends with a background check (enrollment line 707-784-8753). Welfare and Institutions Code §15630 also binds you as a mandated reporter in any care role, and Solano APS takes those reports on 707-784-8259, extension 2. Read the guide to California caregiver rules for detail.

The area
Suisun City in numbers
The ACS 2020–2024 estimates count 29,286 residents in Suisun City, 4,204 of them aged 65 or older (14.4%) and 472 past 85, with a median age of 35.7. Seniors are spread through many homes: 2,883 of the city's 9,632 households (29.9%) include someone 65 or older, and about 749 older residents live alone, 529 of them women. A disability is reported by 36.4% of residents 65 and over, and 11.3% of older residents have incomes under the federal poverty level. Most housing is detached single-family homes (77.9% of units), and 5.0% of households have no vehicle, so for some clients the caregiver's car is the only ride.
Medical appointments mostly mean a trip to Fairfield. Among the six discounted destinations in the city's Lyft program are NorthBay Medical Center, which CDPH lists as a 154-bed general acute care hospital on Gale Wilson Blvd., plus Kaiser's Fairfield clinic, Sutter Health and OLE Health. If you work in Suisun City you are likely to take clients in the neighboring cities too: see Fairfield, Vacaville and Benicia, or the Solano County page for county-wide services.
