24 Hour Home Care to cut over 700 jobs amid service contract loss
El Segundo-based 24 Hour Home Care announced layoffs of 738 employees, citing the abrupt end of a major third-party service agreement.
24 Hour Home Care, headquartered in El Segundo, plans to dismiss 738 employees in September, attributing the move to the unexpected termination of a "material third-party service arrangement." The company, which hires about 30,000 caregivers for disabled individuals and veterans, will continue paying affected workers through Oct. 23 for hours they would have worked. The layoff notice, dated Aug. 31, sets the termination date for Sept. 15, ahead of the 60-day notice period required by California law.
Similar workforce reductions have been reported at Stanford Health Care (95 jobs) and John Muir Health (78 jobs) in the Bay Area, reflecting a wave of cuts across the sector after losses in federal funding. Earlier this year, Dignity Health, Sharp HealthCare, Los Angeles County Department of Public Health, and UC Irvine Health also announced sizable layoffs.
Why it matters
The cuts affect hundreds of caregivers and highlight growing financial strain in California's healthcare system.
