Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Monterey Park
Most of the health facilities CDPH lists in the city sit on two streets. Garfield Avenue has Garfield Medical Center, licensed by CDPH for 210 general acute beds, and two skilled nursing facilities, Heritage Manor (99 beds) and Monterey Park Convalescent Hospital (89). Atlantic Boulevard has Monterey Park Hospital (101 beds) and a run of small suite offices where CDPH lists seven home health agencies and two hospices. On the non-medical side, CDSS licenses one home care organization in the city, Senior Helpers West San Gabriel Valley, also on South Atlantic. Agency shifts there build the references private households ask about.
For a private job, language decides more here than almost anywhere in the county.

If you speak Cantonese, Mandarin, Vietnamese or Spanish, say so in the first line of your profile and name the dialect. New Monterey Park requests appear above as families publish them.

Expect requests shaped by an older city: the median age is 45.5 and nearly one resident in four is 65 or older. Common asks are help after a Garfield Medical Center discharge, overnight supervision for a parent with memory loss, escorts to dialysis on Hilliard Avenue or Atlantic Boulevard, and a few weekday hours around the Langley Center lunch. Newcomers without a certificate usually start with companionship, meal preparation and rides on the city's Dial-A-Ride, which older residents can book for free.

Pay
Caregiver pay in Monterey Park: 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 5.0% of Monterey Park's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates. That is below Los Angeles County's 5.4% and California's 5.3% over the same months. For care workers the more useful numbers are the pay floors. An IHSS provider caring for a Monterey Park client earns $19.64 for each hour the county authorizes, and the steps to enroll are in the Los Angeles County IHSS guide.
The UC Berkeley Labor Center's inventory of local wage laws, last modified September 30, 2026, has no Monterey Park entry, so the state's $16.90 is the minimum for a private household job in the city. The county's $18.47 rate from July 1, 2026 covers work in unincorporated areas only, and DCBA says workers outside those areas get the state or city rate. A personal attendant hired directly by a family is owed time and a half after nine hours in a day or 45 in a week. ACS puts the city's median household income at $81,855 and median gross rent at $1,888.
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.
Rules
Caregiver requirements in California, applied to Monterey Park
Monterey Park adds no caregiver rules of its own, so the state framework applies. You need no license to give non-medical care as a household's own employee. Senior Helpers and any other home care organization can place you only after you are listed on the Home Care Aide Registry. Garfield Medical Center, Monterey Park Hospital, Heritage Manor and Monterey Park Convalescent Hospital hire nursing assistants with CDPH certification, and the home health agencies and hospices hold CDPH licenses of their own. IHSS providers enroll through DPSS, which lists a Monterey Park IHSS district office. The Monterey Park Police Department at 320 W. Newmark Avenue is one of six Live Scan sites with a city address on the Attorney General's list. As a caregiver you must report suspected abuse of an elder or dependent adult. Details: the Los Angeles County page and the requirements guide.
