Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Joshua Tree
The largest licensed health care site with a 92252 address is Hi-Desert Medical Center at 6601 White Feather Road. CDPH licenses it as a 59-bed general acute care hospital, and its distinct-part skilled nursing unit holds a separate license for 120 beds, the only skilled nursing license in the community; the hospital also lists a Continuing Care Center among its services. Two more CDPH licenses share the same campus, a home health agency and a hospice, both operating as Hi-Desert Home Health Services from Suite A-5. The hospital's careers link points to Tenet Health's job site. For certified nursing assistants this campus is the obvious first application; for home health aides and hospice aides, the agency office in Suite A-5 is the one to ask.
Outside the hospital, CDSS licensing files from May 2025 list one Joshua Tree elder care home (RCFE), a 20-resident license issued in February 2024, and a 16-bed social rehabilitation facility on 29 Palms Highway, Valley Star CRT – Morongo Oasis Center. CDSS shows no home care organization with a 92252 address. That means private home care in the community is arranged family by family, or through IHSS. If you live in Yucca Valley or Twentynine Palms, say in your profile that 92252 is inside your range; Basin Transit's Route 1 stops at White Feather Road near the medical buildings, which helps if you do not drive every day.

Types of caregiver jobs
Types of caregiver jobs in Joshua Tree
ACS 2020–2024 counts 894 Joshua Tree households with a resident aged 65 or more, a little over a third of the community's 2,553, and about 301 older householders who live on their own. The work families here are likely to post is practical: someone to help after a stay at Hi-Desert Medical Center, a few mornings a week of bathing, meals and medicine reminders, rides to clinic appointments, and company for a parent alone at home. A caregiver who drives is a real asset here, because 9.6% of households have no vehicle. Beginners can start with companionship or errand hours.

Pay
Caregiver pay in Joshua Tree: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario, CA metro (Riverside and San Bernardino 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, Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario, CA metro (Riverside and San Bernardino counties) | $16.50 median ($17.03 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 102,760 jobs; concentration 2.16× national |
| IHSS provider wage, San Bernardino County | $19.00 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Nursing assistants, Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario, CA metro (Riverside and San Bernardino counties) | $22.32 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.
Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario MSA (Riverside and San Bernardino counties) projection: 94,950 aide jobs in 2023 to 126,020 in 2033 (+32.7%), about 191,990 openings over the decade including replacements (California EDD, 2023–2033 projections published April 2026). Openings are not the same as net new jobs.
About 4.2% of Joshua Tree's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates, against a 5.3% mean for both the county and California. The community's monthly rate stayed between 3.6% and 4.7%, on a labor force of about 2,850; because EDD apportions county data to census-designated places, the local figure is an estimate. For an IHSS provider, the client's county sets the wage, and San Bernardino County's rate has been $19.00 an hour since January 1, 2026 (enrollment, step by step, is in the San Bernardino IHSS walkthrough). Private households and agencies owe at least $16.90, the state minimum; UC Berkeley's Labor Center records no wage ordinance anywhere in San Bernardino County. The metro median for nursing assistants, $22.32 in the BLS May 2025 survey, shows what a CNA certificate can be worth at a skilled nursing unit like the one on White Feather Road.
How to enroll as a provider in San Bernardino County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS San Bernardino 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.
Rules
Caregiver requirements in California, applied to Joshua Tree
No local layer exists in Joshua Tree: there is no city government, San Bernardino County provides services, and parks and the community center come under County Service Area 20. Joshua Tree families may employ you for bathing, cooking or errands with no state license involved. Before any agency assigns you a client, CDSS must list you on its Home Care Aide Registry (fee $35), and nursing-assistant or home health aide posts at the hospital campus call for CDPH certification. IHSS applications go to the county's Central Intake Unit at (877) 800-4544; the IHSS Public Authority lists a district office in Yucca Valley at 56357 Pima Trail, 760.228.5390. Anything that looks like abuse of a Joshua Tree client must be reported under WIC section 15630; San Bernardino County takes those calls at (877) 565-2020. The California requirements guide covers the details.

Is unemployment high in Joshua Tree?
No. EDD's 12-month estimate to August 2026 is about 4.2%; county and state alike averaged 5.3% over the same year. EDD builds the figure from county data, so it is approximate.
Does Hi-Desert Medical Center hire nursing assistants?
Its 120-bed skilled nursing unit is the largest CNA workplace in the community, and the hospital lists openings through Tenet Health's careers site. Have your CDPH certificate number ready when you apply.
Is there nursing-assistant training inside Joshua Tree?

The CDSS table gives San Bernardino County $19.00 per hour from January 1, 2026. Clients living in Riverside County are paid at that county's $19.90 instead.
Is there a Joshua Tree minimum wage?
