Caregiver Jobs in Highland, CA

Highland's original townsite dates from 1891 and grew with the citrus trade; the city itself only incorporated in 1987, and its own description puts it at 1,300 feet against the San Bernardino Mountains. City Hall calls Highland "primarily a residential community", and that fits what a caregiver finds here: most of the work is in family homes rather than in one big institution. The state's October 16, 2026 facility listing shows no general acute care hospital with a Highland address. The largest hands-on employers inside the city are two skilled nursing facilities: Highland Palms Healthcare Center at 7534 Palm Avenue, licensed for 99 beds, and Sierra Vista at 3455 Highland Avenue, licensed for 116 beds, which CDPH records with a special treatment program. Five small intermediate care homes for people with developmental disabilities, six beds each, also carry Highland addresses.

Plan your profile around how people here get around. In ACS 2020–2024, 77.5% of Highland workers drove alone and 11.4% carpooled, with only 1.2% on public transit and an average one-way trip of 30.4 minutes. Spanish is spoken at home by 38.2% of residents aged five and over, and 12.8% are Spanish speakers who rate their English below "very well"; another 7.0% speak an Asian or Pacific Island language at home. Say which languages you speak, whether you drive, and how far from 92346 you will travel. If you ride the bus, Omnitrans lists Highland on Routes 3 and 4, two loops that serve West San Bernardino, Baseline and Highland, and on Route 15, whose timetable stops on Baseline at Palm, Church and Boulder on the way between the Fontana Metrolink station and the Redlands Station Depot.

Highland adds no rules of its own. Non-medical help that a Highland family pays you for directly needs no license; the state Home Care Aide Registry ($35) is required once a licensed home care agency employs you and optional for independents. Nursing assistant shifts at Highland Palms or Sierra Vista call for CDPH certification. If your client receives IHSS, enrollment, orientation and fingerprinting run through the county's Public Authority, which the county page covers. For the fingerprint step, the Attorney General's San Bernardino County list includes The UPS Store #1703 at 7231 Boulder Avenue in Highland, which lists a $35 rolling fee before state and FBI fees. As a caregiver you are a mandated reporter of suspected elder or dependent adult abuse. More detail is in the requirements guide.
