Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Hawaiian Gardens
Hawaiian Gardens has very few licensed care employers, so most paid care here happens in family homes. CDPH's licensing file, last updated October 16, 2026, shows one adult day health care center in the city, Somang ADHC CBAS at 22437 Norwalk Boulevard, along with three community clinics: Eldorado Community Service Center on Norwalk Boulevard and two sites of Family Health Care Centers of Greater Los Angeles, one on Wardham Avenue and a school-based center on Elaine Avenue. Hospitals, nursing homes, hospices and home health offices are all absent from that file for Hawaiian Gardens, and CDSS licensing records dated May 25, 2025 show neither a care home nor a home care organization within city limits.
The need sits with households. ACS 2020–2024 finds 2,281 residents past 65, and 47.7% of them report a disability. About 398 older residents live alone. Among people five and older, 60.1% use Spanish at home and 23.7% are Spanish speakers whose English is limited; Korean residents are 5.8% of the population. A profile that states your languages, your ZIP and whether you can lift or transfer a client will answer the first questions these families ask.

Caregiver pay in Hawaiian Gardens: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim MSA (Los Angeles and Orange counties); private rates on CaregiverConnect are agreed between each caregiver and family and are not tracked by any agency.
| Measure | Hourly | Source and coverage |
|---|---|---|
| Home health and personal care aides, Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim MSA (Los Angeles and Orange counties) | $16.50 median ($17.25 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 385,530 jobs; concentration 2.22× national |
| IHSS provider wage, Los Angeles County | $19.64 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Nursing assistants, Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim MSA (Los Angeles and Orange counties) | $22.78 median | BLS OEWS, May 2025 (certified roles, for comparison) |
Who is the employer. A family that hires you directly is your employer under California's Domestic Worker Bill of Rights. The state minimum wage ($16.90 an hour from 1 January 2026; some cities set more, for example $17.75 in the City of San Diego) is the legal floor, and a personal attendant earns overtime at 1.5× after 9 hours in a day or 45 in a week. The main exceptions are IHSS recipients and an employer's own parent, spouse or child. Source: California DIR, Domestic Worker Bill of Rights FAQ.
About 3.5% of Hawaiian Gardens' labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates, under the county's 5.4% and California's 5.3%. Month to month the city rate moved between 3.2% and 4.1%, among roughly 6,458 workers and job seekers. IHSS work for a Los Angeles County client pays $19.64 an hour, and our IHSS guide for the county explains how to become a provider.
Because Hawaiian Gardens has no entry among the city wage laws tracked by the Labor Center at UC Berkeley, the minimum for a Hawaiian Gardens job is California's $16.90. Los Angeles County's $18.47 is a rate for unincorporated areas only, and DCBA says workers in a city are owed the state wage or that city's own. The IHSS rate depends on where your client lives, not on your address: a client in La Palma or Cypress, both Orange County cities, brings the Orange County IHSS wage of $18.90. ACS reports a median household income of $76,341 here and 9.3% of households without a car, so a caregiver who drives is useful. A Hawaiian Gardens family that employs you as its personal attendant owes time and a half from the tenth hour each day and the 46th hour each week.
How to enroll as a provider in Los Angeles County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS Los Angeles County guide. IHSS wages for every county we cover, with effective dates, are in the IHSS pay by county guide.
How the public numbers relate to private rates, and what affects them, is covered in the caregiver pay guide.
Caregiver requirements in California, applied to Hawaiian Gardens
Families in Hawaiian Gardens may hire you for non-medical tasks with no state license involved. Agencies are another matter, since a licensed home care organization has to register you with CDSS as a home care aide, and the fee is $35 for two years. For adult day health or clinic posts, expect to be asked for CNA certification from CDPH. IHSS in the county is run by DPSS, and PASC keeps the provider registry; new providers go through an orientation and a fingerprint check before they can be paid. Under WIC §15630 paid caregivers must report any abuse of a senior or dependent adult that they suspect; the state APS line, 1-833-401-0832, routes calls to the county office by ZIP code. Each pathway is set out in the California requirements guide.

Caregiver jobs in Hawaiian Gardens: frequently asked questions
Are there agencies in Hawaiian Gardens that hire caregivers?
Very few. State files list no home care organization, home health agency or hospice in the city. The licensed care employers are an adult day health care center on Norwalk Boulevard and three community clinics, so most caregiving work here is arranged with families or through IHSS.
Is unemployment high in Hawaiian Gardens?
No. EDD puts the city's 12-month average at about 3.5% through August 2026; the county figure is 5.4% and the statewide one 5.3%.
What is the minimum wage in Hawaiian Gardens?
$16.90, the state rate. Hawaiian Gardens never passed a local wage law that the Labor Center lists, and the county's $18.47 does not reach incorporated cities. IHSS providers with a Los Angeles County client earn $19.64.
I live in Hawaiian Gardens but my client lives in Cypress. Which IHSS wage applies?
Orange County's $18.90, since Cypress is in Orange County and IHSS pay follows the client's county of residence. A client living in Hawaiian Gardens brings the $19.64 Los Angeles County wage.
Is Spanish useful for caregiving jobs in Hawaiian Gardens?
Very. Spanish is the household language for six in ten residents over age four, and nearly one in four in that group has limited English. The senior center publishes its excursion rules in both languages.
