How to find an in-home caregiver in Winters

Winters is a small city, and hiring here is personal. ACS 2020–2024 counts 768 Winters households (31.2%) with someone aged 65 or older, and 244 older residents who live alone. There is one licensed home care agency in town and no hospital or nursing home, so most families hire a caregiver themselves, use IHSS hours, or combine the two. Because 15.6% of Winters workers do their jobs from home, and the typical commute runs 22.9 minutes, many families need a few focused hours (a bath, lunch, a ride) rather than full days.

Language is worth putting in the post. Spanish is the household language for 37.0% of Winters residents older than four, and 46.8% of the city is Hispanic or Latino; mention it if your mother or father would rather talk in Spanish. Name the clinic your parent uses and whether trips to Davis or Vacaville are part of the job. Caregiver profiles closest to 95694 appear below, sorted by distance, and more are added as people register.

Choosing well

Evaluating caregivers in Winters

Start with what can be verified. A Yolo IHSS provider has completed the state orientation and enrollment, paid for a state DOJ fingerprinting (Live Scan) and shown identification in person. Registry caregivers from the Public Authority have additionally cleared a regional background check and a TB test. CDPH issues CNA certificates, and the number on one can be looked up. Agency aides, including any sent by We Care 4 Yolo, must hold a current Home Care Aide registration; independents may or may not. Then do your own homework: call two former clients or employers, meet the applicant at your parent's home, then hire for one paid trial day before committing. CaregiverConnect does not check backgrounds, references or licenses; families decide which checks to run and get the caregiver's written permission first.

Schedules and cost

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

Short weekday visits. Two to three hours around breakfast or lunch, often with a relative working from home nearby. Café Yolo Thursdays. A late-morning drive to Railroad Avenue in time for the 11:30 meal, then home again. Out-of-town appointment days. Half days that include a BeeLine or car trip to Davis or Vacaville. Weekend relief. Saturday or Sunday hours so whoever handles most of Mom's or Dad's care can take a day off.

Reference point	Hourly	Source
Employed aides, Sacramento–Roseville–Folsom metro	$16.50 median	BLS OEWS, May 2025
IHSS provider wage, Yolo County	$19.05	CDSS; effective January 1, 2026
California minimum wage	$16.90	effective January 1, 2026
Agency non-medical home care, California median (CareScout 2025)	$40.00	CareScout Cost of Care Survey 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.

No Winters wage law shows up in UC Berkeley Labor Center records, so pay for anyone you employ starts at California's $16.90 an hour. For context, BLS measured a $16.50 median among Sacramento-metro aides (Yolo included) in May 2025, ahead of this year's raise; Yolo IHSS providers earn $19.05; and CareScout's 2025 survey priced agency home care in California at $40.00 an hour at the median. A private hire in a town this size commonly lands somewhere in the gap between those last two. California's Domestic Worker Bill of Rights treats hours beyond nine in a workday, or beyond 45 in a workweek, as overtime for a personal attendant. Before you budget for a long private schedule, check IHSS: Yolo County serves people with Medi-Cal who are 65-plus, blind or disabled and cannot manage safely at home without support. Intake: (530) 661-2955.

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 Winters

The caregiver and you should each sign a one-page job agreement covering duties, start and end times, hourly pay, overtime, mileage for driving your parent, and what happens on sick days. Keep a weekly log of hours, lock up jewelry and checkbooks, and ask your bank for activity alerts on cards and accounts.

Emergencies go to 911. For payroll and tax basics, read hiring a caregiver on your own; the Yolo County page covers county services.

Yes, one. State licensing records show it: We Care 4 Yolo, licensed as a home care organization with a West Main Street address. Request its license number and ask how its aides are registered.
