How to find an in-home caregiver in Claremont
Claremont already gives older residents a structure you can build home care around. The city's senior program runs from the Joslyn Center on N. Mountain Avenue, open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. for people 55 and over, and the Blaisdell Community Center on S. College Avenue. Both serve a weekday lunch to adults 60 and up. Volunteers on the city's Phone Assurance Line make daily calls to Claremont seniors who live alone, and Claremont Meals on Wheels brings a hot lunch to the door on weekdays. What those programs cannot do is help someone bathe, dress, take medicines on time or get from the front door to the van. Those are the hours to describe in your post, with the days and times written out.
Not every caregiver can cover every corner of the Pomona Valley, so name your cross streets and say whether you need a driver. Caregivers' profiles nearest 91711 are listed below; the list changes as people join. If you need a caregiver who speaks Spanish, say so plainly; in ACS 2020–2024, 13.6% of Claremont residents over age four speak Spanish at home.

Choosing well
Evaluating caregivers in Claremont
Confirm what each applicant tells you. CNA and home health aide certificates can be looked up on CDPH's site by number. A candidate who names past work at Claremont Heights Post Acute, Pilgrim Place or Claremont Manor Care Center should also name a supervisor you can ring. County IHSS providers have already been through fingerprinting and orientation, and an aide from Comfort Keepers #237 on W. Baseline Road needs an active Home Care Aide Registry entry. Many able independents hold no credential at all, which puts the weight on references: two former employers, one hard story from each, and a meeting with your parent for the final two. A paid trial shift with family present settles most doubts. Our platform screens nobody; if the applicant signs a consent form, a background report is yours to order.
Questions families here ask at interview
- Could you have my father ready for the 11:30 a.m. lunch at the Joslyn Center and stay with him there?
- Have you worked at Pilgrim Place, Claremont Manor or one of the nursing homes on Indian Hill Boulevard?
- Would you book Get About or Dial-a-Ride trips for her, or are you able to drive her to appointments yourself?
- How would you spend a day with my mother when she is not at the AgingNext enrichment center?
- Are you comfortable with a client who has memory loss and wanders in the late afternoon?
- If DPSS approves IHSS hours for Mom, are you willing to sign up as the paid provider?
- What would you do if he refused his medication or would not eat lunch?
Schedules and cost
What in-home care costs in Claremont: hourly rates and schedules
Lunch-hour shifts. Late morning into early afternoon, from getting ready to the Joslyn or Blaisdell lunch and back home again. Enrichment center days. Morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up around the AgingNext program, with care at home before and after. Living-alone check-ins. Short weekday visits that complement PAL calls and Meals on Wheels.
| Reference point | Hourly | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Employed aides, Los Angeles–Long Beach–Anaheim MSA (Los Angeles and Orange counties) | $16.50 median | BLS OEWS, May 2025 |
| IHSS provider wage, Los Angeles County | $19.64 | CDSS; effective January 1, 2026 |
| California minimum wage | $16.90 | effective January 1, 2026 |
| Agency non-medical home care, California median (CareScout 2025) | $40.00 | CareScout Cost of Care Survey 2025 |
Who is the employer. When you hire a caregiver directly, you are a household 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.
UC Berkeley's inventory shows no Claremont wage law, so $16.90 an hour, the state minimum, as the legal floor for a caregiver working for you in the city. Three benchmarks help when setting a rate: BLS's May 2025 aide median of $16.50 for the two-county metro, the $19.64 IHSS wage, and CareScout's $40 statewide hourly median for agency homemaker services in 2025. A parent living across the county line in Montclair or Upland falls under San Bernardino County's IHSS wage instead, $19.00. Claremont households that employ a caregiver directly pay time-and-a-half for a tenth daily hour and for weekly hours over 45. Claremont's ACS median household income is $125,647. For a Medi-Cal recipient, IHSS applications start with DPSS on (888) 944-4477.
No agency tracks private rates. A caregiver you hire directly will usually expect more than the employed-aide median and less than an agency rate; every caregiver on this site lists an hourly rate on their profile, and the hiring guide covers taxes and overtime.

Questions
Hiring a caregiver in Claremont: frequently asked questions
Where do older adults in Claremont go for lunch?
To the Joslyn Center on N. Mountain Avenue at 11:30 a.m. or the Blaisdell Community Center on S. College Avenue at noon, Monday to Friday, for anyone 60 or older. The dining rooms open at 10 a.m. Ask the Joslyn Center about the monthly menu on (909) 399-5488.
Is there a daily check-in service for a parent living alone in Claremont?
Yes. The city's Phone Assurance Line uses volunteers to call eligible residents every day. Callers must live in Claremont and be 60 or older, or disabled at any age. A caregiver who visits a few times a week can fill the gaps between calls.
Is there a day program for dementia in Claremont?
AgingNext's Ellen and Wing Tam Enrichment Center at 133 S. Spring Street serves older adults with memory impairment on weekdays, for half or full days with lunch provided. Call (909) 621-9900 to arrange a visit.
How do Get About and Claremont Dial-a-Ride differ?
Get About is door to door for registered riders 65 and older or with a disability, booked a day or more ahead, $2.75 a trip. Dial-a-Ride carries anyone in Claremont, seven days a week, but stops at the curb; getting from the front door to the vehicle is a job for a caregiver.
How low can a Claremont caregiver's hourly pay legally go?
$16.90 an hour, California's minimum, since Claremont has no city wage ordinance in UC Berkeley's inventory. What you agree beyond that depends on tasks, hours and skills; CareScout's statewide agency median was $40 in 2025.
Does CaregiverConnect check caregivers' backgrounds?
No. Each Claremont family chooses which references, licenses and background reports to check, and does that checking itself. Posting is free, and Family Premium ($24.99 monthly) opens messaging and hiring.
