How to find an in-home caregiver in Duarte
Older adults are a large part of Duarte. In ACS 2020–2024, 21.6% of residents are 65 or older, 43.2% of households include someone that age, and 1,251 households consist of a single person over 65; women head 1,024 of those. A disability is reported by 42.3% of older Duarteans not living in an institution. If your parent is one of them, list in the post the exact tasks they can no longer do alone.
The Duarte Senior Center at 1610 Huntington Drive keeps weekday hours of 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for residents 55 and up, with a hot lunch for those 60-plus; diners check in by 11:15 a.m. for an 11:30 meal. The city lists no city-run senior van. Its transportation page points riders with disabilities to Access, the countywide paratransit service, and the city is surveying residents about a possible microtransit service; its local bus is the Duarte eBus, Foothill Transit Line 861. A parent who cannot manage a bus stop will need a caregiver who drives. With Spanish the home language for 35.1% of residents over age four, a bilingual caregiver is easy to ask for; put it in the post. Caregiver profiles near 91010 are listed below and update as caregivers join.

Choosing well
Evaluating caregivers in Duarte
Sort applicants by what someone else has already checked. CNAs and home health aides carry CDPH certificates you can confirm online, and Duarte's four nursing homes mean a past charge nurse may be a short call away. An IHSS provider has finished DPSS orientation and fingerprinting. Aides from SynergyHomeCare Duarte, California Homecare Services or any other licensed home care organization are entered in California's registry of home care aides. Independent caregivers often have none of this and can still be the best choice; call two former employers, ask each to describe a bad day on the job, and book one paid trial day with family in the house. CaregiverConnect does not vet anyone. If you want a criminal or credit report, buy it yourself, with the caregiver's permission in writing first.
Questions families here ask at interview
- Can you drive my mother to the Senior Center so she is checked in before 11:15?
- Tell me about a client who came home weak from a hospital or nursing home. How did the first days go?
- Do you speak Spanish or Tagalog?
- Could you sit in on Dad's follow-up visits and text me what the doctor said?
- If we apply for IHSS, would you become his provider?
- How do you help someone shower safely when they are weak after treatment?
- What would you do if my mother had a fever on a weekend evening?
Schedules and cost
What in-home care costs in Duarte: hourly rates and schedules
Post-discharge weeks. Daily visits, often four to eight hours, tapering as strength returns. Appointment days. Driving to and waiting through follow-up visits, then settling your parent at home. Lunch and company. Late morning to early afternoon around the Senior Center meal, for a parent who lives alone.
| 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.
Duarte has never appeared in UC Berkeley's local ordinance tracking. For a caregiver working in the city, then, $16.90 an hour is the legal bottom. Points of comparison: Los Angeles–Orange County aides had a $16.50 median wage in BLS's May 2025 survey; Los Angeles County's IHSS rate is $19.64; CareScout's 2025 survey gives California medians of $40 hourly for agency help without nursing and $94 for a day of adult day health care. When your family is the employer, any shift past nine hours, or week past 45, earns your Duarte caregiver the overtime premium. Half of Duarte households earn more than $105,483 a year (ACS 2020–2024).
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.
