How to find an in-home caregiver in Loomis

Loomis, CA is a small incorporated town in Placer County, and its older households are a big share of the whole: 1,021 of its 3,041 households include a person aged 65 or more (ACS 2020–2024), and 450 older residents living on their own. With 87.4% of occupied homes owner-occupied, many families are looking for help that comes to the house. A private caregiver hired through a post like yours is one route; IHSS, if your relative qualifies for Medi-Cal, is another.

If staying home stops being workable, the town does have licensed alternatives. CDSS records from May 2025 count five residential care homes for seniors in town, the biggest on Chisom Trail; CDPH lists no Loomis nursing home. In your request, name a cross street, the hours, and any driving involved, for example to the senior center on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Profiles of caregivers who travel to Loomis appear further down this page; new ones are added whenever someone registers.

Choosing well

Evaluating caregivers in Loomis

Paperwork first: CDPH's online lookup confirms a CNA certificate, former agency aides in the CDSS Home Care Aide Registry, and current IHSS providers have already been through Placer County enrollment. Then the human part: phone two or more past clients, meet in your relative's living room so your relative can join in, and fund a single paid trial visit before committing to regular hours. CaregiverConnect checks nobody's background, identity or credentials. A background report is something you order through a licensed screening company, after getting the applicant's written go-ahead.

Questions families here ask at interview

Mom goes to the L.I.F.E. Center on Brace Road on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Could you drive her there by nine and collect her after lunch?
Have you booked Placer County Dial-A-Ride before, and would you call in her rides a day ahead?
Placer County has approved Dad for IHSS hours. Could you become his enrolled provider?
How do you get to Loomis, and how long does it take you on a weekday morning?
If you arrived and found my father had fallen, what would you do first, and whom would you call?

Schedules and cost

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

Senior center days. A morning start to get ready and leave for the L.I.F.E. Center, which opens at 8 a.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and a pickup after the 12:15 lunch. Drop-in hours. An hour or two a day for food, medicines and company for someone on their own. Doctor days. A half day around an out-of-town appointment, by car or Dial-A-Ride. Spouse relief. A set afternoon each week so the husband or wife doing most of the care gets a break.

Reference point	Hourly	Source
Employed aides, Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom metro	$16.50 median	BLS OEWS, May 2025
IHSS provider wage, Placer County	$19.38	CDSS; effective September 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.

For Loomis, start with IHSS. Placer County takes applications on 916-787-8860, and CDSS requires a Medi-Cal eligibility determination before anything else; after the county sets the hours, IHSS pays the worker your relative picks $19.38 an hour. For a private hire, no Loomis wage law appears in Berkeley's Labor Center list, so $16.90 is the minimum; the metro's median aide earned $16.50 in May 2025. Plan shifts with overtime in mind: for a personal attendant, the tenth hour of a workday and the 46th of a workweek already count as overtime (California DIR). An agency is the costly route, at a $40 hourly California median in CareScout's 2025 survey, which also put a month in a California residential care home at $7,000.

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.

Safety

Hiring safely in Loomis

Before the first visit, put the arrangement in writing (duties, schedule, rate, overtime, mileage, notice) and keep a weekly hours log that each of you signs. Medicines, cash and cards go in a locked drawer; text alerts from the bank catch odd withdrawals. A friend from the L.I.F.E. Center calling in unannounced is a cheap safeguard. Life-threatening situations: 911. Neglect, abuse or missing money involving an older Placer resident: Adult Protective Services, 888-886-5401. For payroll and taxes, read our private-hire guide, and the Placer County page lists county-wide help such as respite for family caregivers.
