Overnight Housekeeping / Caregiver at Personal Care Home

Fair Oaks Estates is a locally owned assisted living and memory care community on Fair Oaks Boulevard in Carmichael. We’ve served families across the Sacramento Valley for more than 20 years, and we’re a 63-bedroom community.

We provide assisted living, memory care for residents with dementia. That means our caregivers get to know people over time, through real changes, rather than rotating through strangers. Understanding what each resident actually needs, and helping without taking away what they can still do themselves, is the whole job.

The people who make decisions here are on site, and our caregivers have a supervisor they can actually reach.

We’ll be straight with you about pay: we start at California minimum wage and move up from there. What we can promise is a schedule you can plan a real life around, paid orientation and training, and a team that won’t leave you alone on a hard night.

Fair Oaks Estates is hiring a full-time overnight Caregiver, the NOC shift, in Carmichael.

Nights are quieter, but they are not easy, and we won’t pretend otherwise. You’ll be the one awake while our residents sleep: doing safety checks, turning and repositioning, answering call lights, helping people to the bathroom at 2am, and keeping someone who wakes up confused and frightened calm until they can settle again. With a memory care neighborhood here, nighttime wandering and disorientation are a real and regular part of this shift.

When something goes wrong at night, you’re the one who catches it first.

It’s a genuine responsibility, and it suits a particular kind of person: steady, observant, self-directed, and comfortable working with less supervision than the day shifts have. If you do your best thinking in the quiet, and you’d rather be trusted than hovered over, this shift tends to be a good fit.

To be clear about scope: medications at Fair Oaks Estates are handled by our Med Techs, not by caregivers. Your job is direct resident care.

If you haven’t worked this kind of rotation before, here’s how it works:

You work four nights in a row. Because the cycle is six days long and a week is seven, your nights off move through the calendar rather than landing on the same days every week. One cycle your nights off might be Tuesday and Wednesday; Everyone on this rotation gets weekends off regularly. You get a two-day break every six days, instead of working five straight and waiting for Saturday.

You work about 20 nights a month rather than the usual 22, for full-time hours.

Your schedule lives in an app, not on a break room wall. You can see your rotation weeks ahead, pick up open shifts when you want extra hours, swap shifts directly with a coworker, and request time off from your phone.

You will work some weekends and some holidays. Four nights in a row is genuinely easier on your body than scattered single nights. One honest note: this shift crosses midnight, so a shift that starts Monday at 10:00 PM ends Tuesday at 6:30 AM. We’ll map out exactly how your four nights fall on the calendar before your first week.

Shift hours: 10:00 PM to 6:30 AM.

Scheduling you control from your phone. Our app shows your rotation weeks out, lists open shifts you can pick up when you want extra hours, lets you swap shifts directly with a coworker, and handles time-off requests. A calmer pace than day shift, and real autonomy in how you run your night.
