Caregiver PM SHIFT 2 PM-10:30 PM

Fair Oaks Estates • Carmichael, CA

22h • Onsite

About The Position

Fair Oaks Estates is hiring a full-time evening Caregiver at its locally owned assisted living and memory care community in Carmichael, California. The community serves 63 residents and provides assisted living and dementia care. Caregivers provide direct resident care and do not administer medications; Med Techs handle medications.

The role supports residents through dinner, evening routines, and bedtime, helping them remain safe and comfortable. It involves assisting with personal care, meals, mobility, activities, and household tasks, while responding patiently to late-day confusion and restlessness among residents with dementia. Caregivers document care in Eldermark, monitor and report changes in residents’ conditions, and communicate with other shifts and care staff.

The full-time schedule is 2:00 PM–10:30 PM on a continuous four-days-on, two-days-off rotation. Days off move through the week, so employees work some weekends and holidays but receive rotating weekends off. Schedules are managed through an app that supports viewing upcoming rotations, picking up open shifts, swapping shifts, and requesting time off. Starting pay is $16.90 per hour, with a range up to $17.90 per hour; overtime is paid at time-and-a-half under California law. Raises are based on performance, experience, and attendance.

Paid initial training includes ADLs, building and fire safety, emergency response, postural supports, restricted health conditions, dementia care, and hands-on shadowing. The employer also offers paid annual continuing education, including dementia care. Health coverage is available to regular full-time employees beginning the first of the month after 90 days. All employees accrue paid sick leave at one hour per 30 hours worked, usable after 90 days. Regular full-time employees become eligible for paid vacation after one year of continuous employment.
