How to find an in-home caregiver in Byron

Byron is a census-designated place in unincorporated East Contra Costa with about 1,837 residents (ACS 2020–2024), and the county governs it through the District 3 supervisor with advice from the Byron Municipal Advisory Council. Homes here are large, averaging 3.44 people, and while only 12.3% of residents are 65 or older, 31.5% of households include someone that age. That makes daytime cover while relatives are at work a likely need rather than round-the-clock care: ACS puts the average commute at 38.1 minutes each way.

Neither CDSS nor CDPH records a Byron address for any home care organization or home health agency, which leaves two main routes: hire someone yourself, or apply for IHSS and pick the provider. The one licensed program in town, St. Anne Village's adult day program at 2800 Camino Diablo, can cover part of a weekday, and a caregiver at home can cover the rest. A good post gives the days and times, what help is needed, whether a car is required, and your relative's preferred language; Spanish is the home language of 23.3% of residents aged five-plus. Profiles on this page are sorted closest-first to the ZIP you type, and the list grows whenever a caregiver joins.

Choosing well

Evaluating caregivers in Byron

Ask to see proof, then check it yourself. Enrolled Contra Costa IHSS providers have sat through county orientation and had their fingerprints run by the Department of Justice, and the Public Authority interviews registry applicants face to face and calls their references. CDPH's online search confirms a CNA certificate, and an aide with licensed-agency experience ought to be on the state's list of registered home care aides. If the applicant has worked or volunteered in an adult day program, call the program too. Meet in the house where your relative lives, speak with a couple of former employers, and pay for one trial day with a relative at home. CaregiverConnect does no screening or credential checks, so if you want a background search, you arrange it with the applicant's written agreement.

Schedules and cost

What in-home care costs in Byron: hourly rates and schedules

Because many Byron homes already have relatives in them, common requests are for weekday blocks of six to ten hours while adults commute, before-and-after cover around an adult day program, Saturday respite for the main family carer, and short evening visits for bathing and bedtime.

Reference point	Hourly	Source
Employed aides, San Francisco–Oakland–Fremont, CA metro (San Francisco, Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Marin counties)	$17.28 median	BLS OEWS, May 2025
IHSS provider wage, Contra Costa County	$20.03	CDSS; effective January 1, 2026

Who is the employer. When you hire a caregiver directly, you are a household 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.

You and the caregiver agree the rate, and four benchmarks frame it. The floor is California's $16.90, because Byron is not inside any city and the county's unincorporated area has no listing in the Labor Center's ordinance inventory. The five-county BLS median for aides was $17.28 in May 2025; Contra Costa IHSS pays providers $20.03; and the statewide agency median in CareScout's 2025 data is $40 an hour. St. Anne Village's IRS filings describe sliding-scale fees and financial assistance for its day program, which can reduce the number of paid home hours you need. If your relative has Medi-Cal and is aged, blind or disabled, request an IHSS assessment; the county intake number is (925) 229-8434. Shifts beyond nine hours a day, or weeks beyond 45 hours, trigger overtime for personal attendants.

No agency tracks private rates. A caregiver you hire directly will usually expect more than the employed-aide median and less than an agency rate; every caregiver on this site lists an hourly rate on their profile, and the hiring guide covers taxes and overtime.
