Carmichael
Job DescriptionCompany Description 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. We’re locally owned, not a national chain. 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. Job Description THE ROLE 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. THE SCHEDULE: WHAT "4 ON, 2 OFF" ACTUALLY MEANS If you haven’t worked this kind of rotation before, here’s how it works: You work four nights in a row. Then you get two days off. Then the pattern starts over. Four on, two off, continuously. 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; the next they might be Monday and Tuesday; eventually they land on a weekend. Everyone on this rotation gets weekends off regularly. They just come around on a cycle instead of every week. What this means for you in practice: • 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. We’re telling you that up front rather than letting you discover it later., • Four nights in a row is genuinely easier on your body than scattered single nights. Your sleep gets a chance to settle into a rhythm instead of flipping back and forth all week., • 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. Full-time, scheduled on a six-week rotation. PAY Starting pay: $16.90 per hour (California minimum wage) Top of range: $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. WHAT YOU’LL DO • Take a full handoff from the evening shift, including who’s unsettled, who’s unwell, and what to watch for, • Perform safety checks and rounds throughout the night, • Turn and reposition residents on schedule to prevent pressure sores, • Answer call lights within minutes and assist with overnight toileting and incontinence care, • Change soiled linens and clothing discreetly, without ever making anyone feel ashamed, • Redirect and reassure memory care residents who wake disoriented, anxious, or trying to leave, • Monitor for and respond to falls, breathing changes, pain, and other changes in condition, • Alert the Med Tech or Care Managers and escalate per protocol when a resident needs more than caregiver support, • Report any change in a resident’s condition immediately: weight, mood, falls, skin tears, bruises, or not eating, • Monitor oxygen and the call system; complete incident reports as needed, • Keep exterior doors secure and the community safe through the night, • Handle overnight laundry and housekeeping during quiet stretches, • Prepare for the morning shift by setting out supplies and staging the day’s needs, • Document in Eldermark before the end of your shift and give a clear, complete handoff to the AM shift, • Escalate emergencies per protocol WHAT WE OFFER • A rotation you can build a life around. Four on, two off, visible weeks ahead in the scheduling app., • 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. No paper schedule taped to a wall, and no chasing down a manager to trade a day., • Your days are open. Daytime appointments, classes, and school pickup are all possible on this schedule in a way they aren’t on days., • A calmer pace than day shift, and real autonomy in how you run your night., • You are not on your own out there. Calls to the facility are answered 24 hours a day, and managers are reachable by digital communication through the night., • Paid initial training, delivered onsite and through accredited online training providers. It covers ADLs, building and fire safety, emergency response, postural supports, and restricted health conditions, plus dementia care and hands-on shadowing., • Training happens on day shift, so you learn the residents and the routines before your first night., • Medication Technician training on top of your caregiver training, all on the clock. You finish caregiver orientation and floor training first, then complete the medication training California requires, including the hands-on shadowing hours you do before assisting anyone with medications, plus supervised floor time in the med room., • Paid annual medication in-service after that. If you arrive without Med Tech training, that is fine. What you learn here stays with you., • Paid continuing education every year, onsite and online, including dementia care., • The same residents every night. You’ll know who wakes at 3am like clockwork and what settles them., • Health coverage for regular full-time employees.

You’ll make first-response calls before anyone else is on site., • Reliable transportation to Carmichael for a late-night start and early-morning end, • Available to work overnights on a four-nights-on, two-days-off rotation, which includes some weekends and holidays PREFERRED, NOT REQUIRED • Previous overnight or night shift experience, in any field, • Previous caregiving experience, whether professional or caring for your own family, • High school diploma or GED, • Experience with dementia or Alzheimer’s care, especially nighttime wandering and sundowning, • Comfortable with electronic documentation WHO DOES WELL HERE Night people, genuinely, not people hoping to sleep through the shift. This job needs someone awake, alert, and moving. Beyond that: people who are observant, who can work without someone checking on them every hour, and who stay calm when something happens at 3am and the first decision is theirs to make. Who can walk into a dark room where someone is frightened and confused, and be the reason that person settles instead of escalates. If you’ve been the person your family turned to when someone needed care, you already have the part of this job we can’t teach.

Four nights on, two days off, rotating. You work four consecutive nights, then have two consecutive days off, and the cycle repeats. Nights off rotate through the week, so weekends off come around regularly rather than falling on the same days each week. Schedules are managed in our scheduling app, where you can view your rotation weeks ahead, pick up open shifts, swap with coworkers, and submit time-off requests. Because this shift crosses midnight, a shift beginning on one calendar day ends the following morning. We’ll map out exactly how your four nights fall before your first week. We also hire for AM (6 AM to 2:30 PM) and PM (2 PM to 10:30 PM) shifts. If overnights don’t fit your life, ask us about the others.
