How to find an in-home caregiver in Del Rey
Del Rey, a census-designated place on unincorporated Fresno County land, is home to 1,654 people in ACS 2020–2024 (±463). Its community services district looks after sewers and wastewater, and Fresno County Rural Transit Agency runs a small weekday bus, but county agencies, not a town government, provide social services. Search the CDPH, HRSA and CDSS files for Del Rey and the result is empty: no health facility, residential care home or home care organization. In practice that means two routes to help at home: hire a caregiver privately, or, if your parent has Medi-Cal, apply for IHSS and let your parent choose the provider the county pays.
Spanish matters more here than almost anything else in a post. ACS counts 77.5% of Del Rey's population aged five or more as Spanish speakers at home, and 34.5% of the same group report limited English. State the language your parent is most at ease in, the hours, the tasks and ZIP 93616. Applicants may live in Del Rey or come from Sanger, Parlier or Fowler; the closest profiles are listed first above and the list grows as caregivers sign up.

Evaluating caregivers in Del Rey
Treat any credential an applicant mentions as something to see for yourself. Fresno County IHSS providers have completed county enrollment, Live Scan fingerprints included, and a provider accepted onto the county's Public Authority Registry has also passed a registry screening. A certified nursing assistant should have a certificate to show you. Aides on the payroll of a licensed agency appear on the CDSS Home Care Aide Registry; independents often do not. Then do the checks no list can: phone two families or employers the person has worked for, meet at the house so your parent takes part, and pay for one trial shift. CaregiverConnect neither screens nor verifies anyone. Ordering a background report is a family decision, made with the applicant's written permission.
Questions families here ask at interview
- ¿Prefiere trabajar en español? My father understands very little English. How would you explain his diet to him?
- Where do you live, Del Rey, Sanger or Parlier, and is your car reliable enough for out-of-town appointments?
- If my mother uses Del Rey Transit to get to Sanger, could you ride with her and help at the stops?
- My aunt has diabetes. With past clients, what did you cook, and how did you keep track of sugar checks?
- Are you on the Fresno County IHSS provider list, or the Public Authority Registry?
- How would you help my grandfather in and out of the shower without either of you getting hurt?
- Which days could you never work, because of family or another job?
What in-home care costs in Del Rey: hourly rates and schedules
Because workers in Del Rey average 24.7 minutes to reach their jobs (ACS), a family member who works in Sanger or Fresno can often cover evenings, and the request is for weekday daytime help. Other patterns families post: a morning visit to help a parent wash and dress, two or three longer days a week that include errands in Sanger, extra hours after a hospital discharge, and a Saturday so the relative who provides most of the care gets a break. Del Rey Transit does not run on weekends, so weekend help usually needs a caregiver with a car.
| Reference point | Hourly | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Employed aides, Fresno, CA metro (Fresno County) | $16.50 median | BLS OEWS, May 2025 |
| IHSS provider wage, Fresno County | $18.75 | 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.
Independent caregivers quote their own hourly prices. To judge one, start from California's $16.90 minimum, which governs Del Rey because UC Berkeley's local ordinance list has nothing for Fresno County. The Fresno-metro aide median was $16.50 in May 2025 (BLS), below the $18.75 that IHSS pays Fresno County providers. CareScout's 2025 survey sets the statewide agency median at $40 an hour, though you would need an agency from outside Del Rey. With Medi-Cal, your parent may qualify for IHSS hours, so phone (559) 600-6666 (option 1) before fixing a budget. Overtime for a personal attendant you employ starts after 9 hours in one day or 45 in one week, at time and a half.
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.

Hiring a caregiver in Del Rey: frequently asked questions
Is there a clinic or care home in Del Rey?
Not on the state and federal lists we checked. CDPH, HRSA and the CDSS licensing files show no clinic, care home or home care agency with a Del Rey address, so medical visits and residential care mean going outside the town.
Can my mother get to Sanger for errands and appointments?
On weekdays, yes. Del Rey Transit runs between Del Rey and Sanger from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.; call 1-855-612-5184 to request a ride. A caregiver can ride along to help.
How does a Del Rey family start an IHSS application?
Three ways: the county's online form, a phone application on (559) 600-6666 (option 1), or a paper SOC 295. A Medi-Cal eligibility determination is required for IHSS, according to CDSS.
What does an IHSS caregiver earn in Del Rey?
The CDSS table gives $18.75 an hour for Fresno County from January 1, 2026. Because Del Rey is in Fresno County, that rate applies to any client who lives here.
Can someone bring meals to my father?
When a parent aged 60-plus cannot leave home, the Fresno-Madera Area Agency on Aging may deliver meals after a short nutrition screening. Call 559-214-0299 to ask about eligibility and any waitlist.
