How to find an in-home caregiver in Rodeo

Rodeo is a census-designated place of about 9,000 people (ACS 2020–2024), governed directly by Contra Costa County. The county calls Rodeo a bedroom community, and the commute data agree: working residents average 38.1 minutes to their jobs. So the typical request here comes from an adult child who is gone most of the day and needs someone reliable at home with a parent. Of Rodeo's 3,015 households, 36.5% include someone aged 65 or older.

Rodeo has more licensed small homes than most places its size, three homes for elderly residents and five adult residential facilities in the May 2025 CDSS file, but no home care agency or home health agency with a Rodeo address. For help in your own home, most families hire a caregiver directly or through IHSS. In your post, include the hours, tasks, whether the caregiver will drive, and languages: 20.0% of residents five and older speak Spanish at home, and 11.5% of residents are Filipino. The list of caregivers above changes as people join.

Choosing well

Evaluating caregivers in Rodeo

Verify what each applicant claims. Providers on the Contra Costa IHSS registry have been interviewed in person by the Public Authority, had references checked and cleared a DOJ fingerprint check. CNAs and home health aides can be checked on CDPH's online lookup, and aides who worked for licensed agencies on the CDSS Home Care Aide Registry. If an applicant has worked in one of Rodeo's residential care homes, ask for a reference from the administrator. Interview in your parent's home, call two references, and book one paid trial shift with you in the room. CaregiverConnect does not check backgrounds or confirm credentials; you can order a check yourself with the applicant's written consent.

Schedules and cost

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

Rodeo families commonly post for a long weekday shift that matches a commute, a few hours in the morning for bathing, dressing and breakfast, help with dinner and getting ready for bed in the evening, or overnight cover when a parent with dementia is restless. Some need a caregiver for the 2nd and 4th Friday grocery pickup at the Senior Center, or for regular rides that Dial-A-Ride cannot cover on Sundays.

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

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.

Caregivers set their own prices here, so compare against four benchmarks. The minimum is California's $16.90: Rodeo sits outside any city, and unincorporated Contra Costa has no entry on the UC Berkeley Labor Center's list (Richmond's $19.18 applies only inside Richmond). BLS put the May 2025 aide median at $17.28 across the five-county metro; Contra Costa IHSS pays its providers $20.03; and CareScout's median for agency home care in California is $40. If your parent has Medi-Cal, ask the county about IHSS, which can pay a caregiver you choose, including a relative. Personal attendants earn overtime after 9 hours in a day or 45 in a week.

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.

Questions

Hiring a caregiver in Rodeo: frequently asked questions

Are there assisted living homes in Rodeo?

Yes, small ones. CDSS licenses three six-resident elderly care homes in 94572: Villa Board and Care Home, Loving Hands Care Home and Priority Care Home I. Tour each one and read each home's licensing reports before choosing.

Is there a home care agency in Rodeo?

Not in the May 2025 CDSS file, which lists no licensed home care organization with a Rodeo address. Many families hire an independent caregiver, or use IHSS if their relative qualifies through Medi-Cal.

Can my mother get rides without driving?

If she is 65 or older, WestCAT Senior Dial-A-Ride serves Rodeo on weekdays and Saturdays for $1.25 each way, and a companion can ride at the same fare. It does not run on Sundays or major holidays.

Do I have to pay Richmond's minimum wage?

Not for work in Rodeo. Richmond's $19.18 rate applies inside Richmond; Rodeo is unincorporated, so the $16.90 state minimum is the legal floor for a caregiver you employ there.

What does CaregiverConnect charge?

Posting a request and reading applications is free. Messaging caregivers and confirming a hire require Family Premium at $24.99 a month. Caregivers are never charged a commission.
