How to find an in-home caregiver in Highland
Highland is a city of 56,655 (Department of Finance, 2026) that its own government describes as mainly residential, so most older residents who need help get it at home. A good request names the neighborhood or nearest cross street, the days and hours, the tasks, whether driving is part of the job and the rate you will pay. If appointments are at a hospital outside the city, say so, because that changes who can take the job.
Language matters in many Highland homes. According to ACS 2020–2024, Spanish is the home language of 38.2% of residents five and older, and 12.8% of that age group speak Spanish with limited English; 7.0% speak an Asian or Pacific Island language at home. If your mother is more at ease in one of those languages, put it in the first line of your post. Most working residents here commute by car, so applicants may live in the city or drive in from neighboring ones. Caregiver profiles closest to 92346 are listed below and change as people join.

Choosing well
Evaluating caregivers in Highland
Check what you can confirm yourself. A certified nursing assistant's certificate can be looked up with CDPH. A caregiver who already works as a San Bernardino County IHSS provider has completed the county's orientation and fingerprinting. Aides employed by a licensed home care agency must be on the state Home Care Aide Registry; independent caregivers may register for $35 but do not have to. The state licensing file dated May 2025 shows no active home care organization based in Highland, so most applicants will be independent or work for a company in a nearby city: ask which license their employer holds. Then call two past employers, let your parent meet the finalists, and pay for a first shift while a family member is home. CaregiverConnect does not screen caregivers; if you buy a background report, get the applicant's written consent first.
Questions families here ask at interview
- Do you live in Highland or nearby, and who covers your shift if you are sick?
- Have you cared for someone recently discharged from a skilled nursing facility such as Highland Palms?
- Would you take my father to lunch at the Highland Senior Center, and could you drive him there?
- Can you explain medical instructions to my mother in Spanish?
- Do you have a San Bernardino County IHSS provider number, and would you enroll if she qualifies?
- How do you keep someone with dementia from wandering in a neighborhood you do not know well?
- Are you comfortable riding Omnitrans Route 15 or Route 3 with a client if the car is unavailable?
Schedules and cost
What in-home care costs in Highland: hourly rates and schedules
Weekday mornings. Getting up, bathing, dressing, breakfast and medications, often three or four hours. Late morning. A ride to the Highland Senior Center, whose lunch is at 11:30 a.m. and has to be reserved the day before, and back home in the early afternoon. Evenings and weekends. Relief blocks so an adult child who works full time can rest, shop or sleep through the night.
| Reference point | Hourly | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Employed aides, Riverside–San Bernardino–Ontario metro (Riverside and San Bernardino counties) | $16.50 median | BLS OEWS, May 2025 |
| IHSS provider wage, San Bernardino County | $19.00 | 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.
No Highland wage ordinance appears in the UC Berkeley Labor Center's inventory, so $16.90, the state minimum, is the floor for anyone you pay by the hour. For comparison, the BLS median for aides across Riverside and San Bernardino counties was $16.50 in May 2025, San Bernardino County IHSS pays its providers $19.00, and CareScout's California median for an hour of agency home care is $40. If you employ a personal attendant directly, overtime begins after nine hours in a day or 45 in a week. Highland's median household income is $77,120 (ACS 2020–2024). When your parent has Medi-Cal and needs help to stay at home, ask about IHSS before settling on private pay: the county's IHSS intake line is (877) 800-4544.
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.
