Caregiver Jobs in San Clemente, CA

"Caregiver jobs San Clemente" is a search families answer directly on this site: a household posts the days, hours and care needed, and it appears below with the distance from the city. San Clemente is the last Orange County city before the San Diego County line, which cuts both ways for a caregiver. Postings here draw applicants from Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano and the Saddleback Valley to the north, and a San Clemente caregiver can equally take work in Oceanside and the rest of North County San Diego down I-5, where the platform already has more families and caregivers. The site's base is still San Diego County; a few caregivers have signed up from Lake Forest and Mission Viejo, and a profile with a San Clemente ZIP code (92672 or 92673) and a 25-mile radius covers both counties.

Two local facts shape the work. The city's hospital, Saddleback Memorial Medical Center – San Clemente at 654 Camino de Los Mares, closed on 31 May 2016 and the city has not found a replacement operator, so hospital discharges come home from MemorialCare Saddleback in Laguna Hills or Providence Mission Hospital in Mission Viejo, both a drive up the freeway, and families value a caregiver who can make that trip. And 21.4% of residents are 65 or older with a median age of 45.6, so the typical client is a retiree in a house on the hills above the pier rather than a multigenerational household. Say on your profile whether you drive, whether you can do early mornings, and whether you have brought someone home after surgery.

San Clemente follows the county rules: no licence for non-medical care hired directly by a family, Home Care Aide registration mandatory only for agency aides and optional for independents, and IHSS enrolment through the Orange County Public Authority in Santa Ana, a long drive from here, although the first step is online and only the two-hour verification appointment and the Live Scan fingerprints need to be done in person. Phone the enrolment line on (714) 825-3195 before you go. CNA and home health aide certificates come from CDPH; Saddleback College in Mission Viejo runs both courses. The nearest emergency departments, and therefore the discharges that generate recovery work, are MemorialCare Saddleback (24451 Health Center Drive, Laguna Hills) and Providence Mission Hospital (27700 Medical Center Road, Mission Viejo). Mandated reporting applies to every caregiver; Adult Protective Services is (800) 451-5155. The requirements guide has the rest.
