Caregiver Jobs in Lawndale, CA

Care employers in Lawndale are few and small, so most caregiving work here happens in private homes. In CDPH's October 16, 2026 facility data there is a single skilled nursing facility, Lawndale Healthcare & Wellness Centre at 15100 Prairie Avenue with 59 licensed beds, and one home health agency, AgapeHeart Home Health Services on Hawthorne Boulevard. Community Care Licensing's May 2025 records add two elder care homes with nine places between them, Americare Assisted Living on Roselle Avenue among them, and eleven adult residential homes for younger adults with disabilities, each with four to six beds.

Think about language before anything else in your profile. In ACS 2020–2024, 65.1% of Lawndale residents are Hispanic or Latino, 56.2% of those aged five and up use Spanish at home, and for 23.5% Spanish is the home language and English is rated below "very well." Put your languages in the first line of your profile and say whether you could handle a call to a doctor's office in either one. Just 10.9% of Lawndale is 65 or older, so expect some requests to come from adult sons and daughters arranging a few days a week of help for one parent. New Lawndale requests are added above as families publish them.

The city adds no caregiver license of its own. A household that employs you itself for non-medical help does not need you to hold a state license either. CDSS's May 2025 file shows no licensed home care organization at a Lawndale address; any agency that sends you to a Lawndale client must first get you onto the Home Care Aide Registry (a $35 fee plus Live Scan prints). The Prairie Avenue nursing home hires certified nursing assistants, and the home health agency sends aides on home visits. To be paid through IHSS you sign up with DPSS, sit an in-person orientation, give fingerprints and pass a criminal background check. State law makes you a mandated reporter if you suspect an older client is being abused. More on each route is in the caregiver requirements guide.
