Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Santa Fe Springs
For a city of under 20,000 people, Santa Fe Springs holds an unusual number of licensed care offices. On the state health department's licensing list, updated October 16, 2026, there are six home health agencies and six hospices with addresses in the city, several of them in suite buildings at 12631 Imperial Highway, 13353 Alondra Boulevard and on Mora Drive. These are offices, not care sites: their aides and nurses travel to patients' homes across the area, so ask each one which cities it covers before you apply. The same file shows two dialysis clinics, on Rosecrans Avenue and Norwalk Boulevard, and no hospital or nursing home inside city limits.
The state's community care licensing file (May 25, 2025) adds one licensed home care organization, on Slauson Avenue, with a second application pending, and two licensed adult day programs on East Slauson Avenue, with room for 55 and 90 participants. It shows no licensed residential care for the elderly anywhere in Santa Fe Springs. Private households fill the rest: ACS 2020–2024 counts 2,338 households (40.9%) with a member 65 or older, and 670 people past 65 who live alone. Spanish is the home language for 46.9% of people five and older here, and 13.3% speak English less than very well; a Spanish speaker can take on jobs that others cannot. Put 90670, your languages and the hours you can cover in the first lines of your profile.

Pay
Caregiver pay in Santa Fe Springs: 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 3.1% of Santa Fe Springs' labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates; the county averaged 5.4% and California 5.3%. The monthly figure stayed between 2.9% and 3.6% in a labor force of about 9,250. IHSS pays providers $19.64 an hour for clients anywhere in the county; the county IHSS guide walks through enrollment.
Santa Fe Springs is absent from the local ordinances UC Berkeley's Labor Center tracks, which leaves California's $16.90 as the local floor. The county's $18.47 rate does not apply: DCBA limits it to work in unincorporated areas and says that anyone working elsewhere is owed the state wage or the wage of the city where the work happens. The BLS figures ($16.50 median, $17.25 mean) cover Los Angeles and Orange counties together, and many agency and hospice aide roles start near them. In private work, ask more for lifting, nights or dementia care. The city's median household income, per ACS, is $88,238. Paid directly by a household as its personal attendant, you earn 1.5 times your rate for time beyond 9 hours on any one day or beyond 45 in a week.
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 Santa Fe Springs
A Santa Fe Springs family can hire you for non-medical help at home without any state license. If you join the licensed home care organization in town, or one based elsewhere, that agency has to enroll you with CDSS as a registered home care aide ($35, valid two years). Home health and hospice aide posts usually ask for CDPH certification as a nurse assistant or home health aide. IHSS is run countywide by DPSS, with PASC keeping the provider registry; new providers attend an orientation and pass a fingerprint check. Taking pay to care for a senior or a dependent adult means state law (WIC §15630) obliges you to report signs of abuse, and California's APS line, 1-833-401-0832, connects you to the county office by ZIP code. Our California requirements guide has the details.
