Finding in-home caregiver jobs in Templeton
Much of Templeton's health care sits along Las Tablas Road. HCAI's hospital profile puts Adventist Health Twin Cities at 1100 Las Tablas Road, a general acute care hospital with 122 licensed beds and a basic emergency room. The CDPH licensing list dated October 16, 2026 adds Vineyard Hills Health Center at 290 Heather Court, a 99-bed skilled nursing facility, and Templeton Dialysis in the medical offices at 1310 Las Tablas Road. Federal health center records list two Community Health Centers of the Central Coast sites here: a clinic at 1330 Las Tablas Road and a women's health office at 292 Posada Lane. Private home care often follows a stay at one of them, when a family wants help for the first weeks back home.
What the town lacks is just as useful to know. The CDSS licensing layer (edited October 19, 2026) has no residential care facility for the elderly at any Templeton address, only one small adult residential home, and CDPH lists no home health or hospice agency based in 93465. Without leaving Templeton, then, daily help means help at home. In your profile, say whether you have handled hospital discharges, dialysis days or rehab follow-up, and how far from 93465 you will drive.

Caregiver pay in Templeton: how much caregivers make
Public figures first, then what they mean for private work. Statistics describe employed aides across the San Luis Obispo–Paso Robles, CA metro (San Luis Obispo County); 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, San Luis Obispo–Paso Robles, CA metro (San Luis Obispo County) | $16.50 median ($17.65 mean) | BLS OEWS, May 2025; 4,160 jobs; concentration 1.23× national |
| IHSS provider wage, San Luis Obispo County | $21.40 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Nursing assistants, San Luis Obispo–Paso Robles, CA metro (San Luis Obispo County) | $22.52 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 4.5% of Templeton's labor force was unemployed, on average, between August 2025 and August 2026, according to EDD estimates. Templeton sits a shade above San Luis Obispo County's 4.4% and below California's 5.3%. As a census-designated place, Templeton gets an EDD figure modeled on county data, and it carries some uncertainty; its labor force averaged about 4,400 people, and the monthly rate moved between 3.7% and 5.1%. The pay side is steadier. Templeton clients are in San Luis Obispo County, so IHSS pays their providers $21.40 an hour; the county IHSS guide explains enrollment.
The July 23, 2026 edition of the UC Berkeley Labor Center's wage-ordinance inventory lists no San Luis Obispo County jurisdiction, and Templeton has no city council to pass one, so Templeton families who hire directly start from California's $16.90 an hour. Ask for more than that: the ACS 2020–2024 median gross rent in Templeton is $2,533, and for 53.2% of Templeton's renters that cost eats 30% or more of income. Nursing assistants in the metro earned a $22.52 median, and CNA certification is the entry ticket for aide work at Vineyard Hills or on Twin Cities units.
How to enroll as a provider in San Luis Obispo County, with the office phone lines and orientation steps, is in the IHSS San Luis Obispo 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.
Caregiver requirements in California, applied to Templeton
If a Templeton household pays you directly for personal care, meals or companionship, you need no state license. Two settings here do require one. At Vineyard Hills Health Center or on a hospital unit at Twin Cities, aides work as CDPH-certified nursing assistants. If an agency from a nearby town sends you to Templeton clients, you need a CDSS Home Care Aide Registry listing ($35, good for two years). IHSS is a third path: CDSS has new providers sign up through the county IHSS office or Public Authority, attend an orientation, and pass a Department of Justice fingerprint check; San Luis Obispo County takes IHSS calls at Atascadero Social Services, 9630 El Camino Real, on (805) 461-6110. Separately, WIC §15630 names you a mandated reporter, in a Templeton home or on a ward. See the state caregiver requirements guide for the rest.

Templeton in numbers
Templeton has no city government. The Templeton Community Services District, which marks 50 years (1976–2026) this year, supplies water, sewer, fire, parks and recreation, refuse, lighting and drainage services from its office at 420 Crocker Street. The ACS 2020–2024 estimate is 9,580 residents (margin ±1,147), with a median age of 39.7. Of those, 1,899 (19.8%) are 65 or older and 355 are 85 or older. Among 3,629 households, 1,339 (36.9%) include someone 65-plus, and 436 Templeton homes hold one person aged 65-plus with nobody else. Disability is reported by 24.6% of Templeton seniors. Group quarters hold only 92 people, so institutions barely touch these numbers.
English is the only home language for 92.8% of residents five and older; 4.8% speak Spanish. Workers average a 20.9-minute commute, 82.2% drive alone and the ACS records no public transit commuters, so a car matters for caregivers here.
