Caregiving in Calexico, CA
Town-specific facts for caregivers in Calexico, with sources below. County-wide figures are on the Imperial County page.
Spanish first
Calexico (38,633 residents in 2020; an estimated 39,881 on 1 January 2026) is Imperial County's second-largest city and sits directly on the border with Mexicali. 97.4% of residents are Hispanic or Latino, 92% speak Spanish at home, and 57.7% speak Spanish and speak English less than "very well" (ACS 2020–24). A caregiver who can talk with the person being cared for, and with their family, in Spanish is the baseline here rather than a bonus. Write your profile bio in both languages if you can.
An older city with family households
16.5% of Calexico residents are 65 or over and 42.5% of households include someone 65 or older, among the highest shares in the valley. Most care is arranged within families and through IHSS; Calexico has no hospital of its own (the nearest emergency department is El Centro Regional Medical Center, about 12 road miles north), but it has three clinics: Pioneers' Calexico Health Center at 450 E. Birch Street ((760) 517-7845), ECRMC's Calexico Outpatient Center at 495 Birch Street, and Innercare Calexico ((760) 357-2020). Caregivers who drive clients to El Centro appointments are valued.
Pay, IHSS and private work
Countywide, employed home health and personal care aides earned a median $16.50 an hour in May 2025 (BLS); IHSS providers earn $18.83 in 2026 and enrol through the Public Authority in El Centro, (760) 337-7722. Private families set their own rates. The Calexico America's Job Center of California is at 301 Heber Avenue, (442) 265-6192, for job-search help and funded training.
Senior programmes and transit in town
The Calexico Recreation Department and Community Center at 707 Dool Avenue, (760) 768-2176, run senior aerobics, bingo, crafts and other classes, many taught in Spanish, and host a weekday senior lunch (Catholic Charities, (760) 353-2748). IVT RIDE Now offers $1 curb-to-curb rides for people 55 and over within Calexico, and IVT routes 1N/1S connect Calexico to Heber and El Centro, which matters for clients and for caregivers without a car.
The border context
In 2025 about 3.16 million pedestrians and 5.43 million personal vehicles entered the United States through the Calexico West port of entry, and GSA is doubling its pedestrian booths in a rebuild running to 2029. The city's economy and daily life run on that crossing. CaregiverConnect postings are for work in the United States; questions about work authorisation are between you and the family and are outside what this page can advise on.
