How to find an in-home caregiver in Hacienda Heights
Nearly half of Hacienda Heights households (47.2% in ACS 2020–2024) include someone 65 or older, and 1,215 residents of that age live alone. Both situations shape what people hire for. The common requests are daytime cover while the family is at work, help with bathing and meals for a parent who no longer drives, and a steady person for evenings or weekends. Write the exact days and hours, the nearest cross streets, and whether the caregiver will drive your parent or ride the county shuttle with them.
Language matters more here than in most of the county. Two residents in three aged five and up speak a language other than English at home: 34.1% speak an Asian or Pacific Islander language and 30.3% speak Spanish. If your mother is most comfortable in Mandarin, Cantonese, Korean or Spanish, put that in the first sentence of your post. Profiles are sorted by distance from 91745, and the list below updates as caregivers join.

Choosing well
Evaluating caregivers in Hacienda Heights
The applicants you hear from in Hacienda Heights will vary. Some are certified nursing assistants or home health aides who also take private hours; ask for the certificate number and confirm it with CDPH. Some are IHSS providers, who have passed the county's fingerprint check and orientation. Agency aides must be on the state Home Care Aide Registry, which costs them $35 and requires Live Scan. Many good independent caregivers hold none of these, so a reference call to a past employer counts for more than any certificate. Meet the person with your parent present, and book a paid half-day trial before you agree to a schedule. CaregiverConnect does not check anyone's background, licenses or references; that is yours to do, and with the caregiver's written consent you can order a background check.
Questions families here ask at interview
- Which languages can you speak with my mother, and how well?
- Have you cared for someone who attends adult day health care, such as Hacienda CBAS?
- Can you get my father ready for a 9 a.m. pickup and be home again when he returns?
- Would you ride the Heights Hopper with him to the senior center if he stops driving?
- How would you help on a dialysis day, before and after the appointment?
- If my parent is approved for IHSS, are you willing to enroll as the provider?
- What would you do if you found my mother on the floor and confused?
Schedules and cost
What in-home care costs in Hacienda Heights: hourly rates and schedules
Working-family cover. Weekday blocks from early morning to late afternoon while adult children commute; the average resident's trip to work takes 33.8 minutes each way. Program days. Short shifts before and after a day at Hacienda CBAS or a lunch at the Steinmetz Senior Center. Weekends and evenings. Relief shifts so a live-in son or daughter gets time off.
| 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.
Hacienda Heights is unincorporated, and since July 1, 2026 the minimum wage in unincorporated Los Angeles County has been $18.47, above the state's $16.90. DCBA applies it to anyone working two or more hours a week in an unincorporated area, but its pages do not speak to families who employ a caregiver themselves, so call DCBA at (800) 593-8222 before offering less. For comparison: BLS puts the regional aide median at $16.50 (May 2025), IHSS pays providers $19.64 in this county, and CareScout's 2025 survey found a $40 hourly median for agency homemaker care in California and a $94 daily median for adult day health care. Overtime is owed to a personal attendant after nine hours in a day or 45 in a week. The local median household income is $109,193.
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 Hacienda Heights: frequently asked questions
Is there assisted living in Hacienda Heights?
Only in small homes. CDSS's current layer lists six residential care facilities for the elderly in the community, each licensed for five or six residents, so ask about openings directly. A private caregiver at home is often the alternative families compare against.
Does the county minimum wage apply if I hire a caregiver in Hacienda Heights?
The unincorporated-area rate is $18.47 from July 1, 2026. DCBA describes coverage by where work is done, without addressing household employers in particular, so phone DCBA to confirm before you settle on a rate below it.
Where can my father go during the day?
Hacienda CBAS on Colima Road is a licensed adult day health center. For social activity and meals, the Steinmetz Senior Center on Stimson Avenue hosts a county-funded meals program and Mt. SAC classes for older adults.
How does a parent without a car get around Hacienda Heights?
The Heights Hopper is free for anyone 60 or older and connects the community center, the library and Schabarum Park with Rowland Heights. For door-to-door trips, ask whether your parent qualifies for Access, the county's ADA paratransit service (1-800-827-0829).
Can IHSS pay a caregiver my mother chooses?
Yes, if she qualifies: she needs a Medi-Cal eligibility determination and must live at home. Approved hours are paid at $19.64 to the provider she picks. Apply through DPSS on (888) 944-4477.
Does CaregiverConnect vet the caregivers?
No. Families run their own reference, license and background checks. Posting a request from Hacienda Heights is free; Family Premium, at $24.99 a month, adds messaging and hiring.
