Caregiver (Assisted Living) - 2nd and 3rd Shifts (Full Time)

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 home to 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 evening Caregiver in Carmichael.
You’ll be the calm presence at the end of the day for our residents, helping them through dinner, evening routines, and settling in safely and comfortably for the night.
Evenings ask something particular of a caregiver. Late afternoon and dusk are when confusion and restlessness tend to rise in people with dementia, and with a memory care neighborhood here, that’s a real part of this shift. 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:
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 days 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. Your mornings are yours. Shift hours: 2:00 PM to 10:30 PM.

Full-time, scheduled on a six-week rotation.
Starting pay: $16.90 per hour (California minimum wage)
17.90 per hour
Overtime: paid at time-and-a-half, per California law
Raises are based on performance, experience, and attendance, not on time served.
