How to find an in-home caregiver in Huntington Park
Huntington Park has no licensed elder residential care home in CDSS's May 2025 file, so for most families "care" means help at home, often fitted around work schedules and the city's own services. The Senior Program at the Community Center runs on weekdays, the HSA lunch is served there, Paraiso Adult Day Health Care Center operates on Rugby Avenue, and the $1 Dial-A-Ride taxi takes enrolled older residents almost anywhere in town. A caregiver usually fills the hours those services do not reach. Say exactly which ones you need: "weekdays 7 a.m. to 1 p.m., help bathing and getting to the senior lunch, near Pacific Boulevard and Gage" draws better replies than "need help for grandma".
Language matters more here than in most cities. In ACS 2020–2024, 87.4% of residents aged five and older speak Spanish at home, and 45.9% speak Spanish and rate their English below "very well". If your mother speaks only Spanish, put that in the first sentence of your post, and ask applicants to answer in Spanish. The caregiver list below sorts by distance from 90255 and updates as people complete their profiles.

Choosing well
Evaluating caregivers in Huntington Park
You will see a mix of backgrounds. Some applicants are certified nursing assistants who also take private shifts: ask for the certificate number and look it up in CDPH's online verification. Some are IHSS providers, who have already been through the county's fingerprinting and orientation. A caregiver sent by a home care organization must be on the CDSS Home Care Aide Registry. Many good independent caregivers hold none of these, so references carry the most weight: call at least two people they have worked for, ask what the caregiver did on a bad day, and hold a paid trial shift while you or a sibling is home. CaregiverConnect does not run background checks or verify credentials; if you want a background check, get the caregiver's written consent and order it yourself.

Schedules and cost
What in-home care costs in Huntington Park: hourly rates and schedules
Weekday daytime. Morning to early afternoon while adult children work, often built around the 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Senior Program hours. Adult day health days. A short morning shift to dress and feed a parent before the Paraiso pickup, and another at the end of the day. Clinic and dialysis days. Escort shifts using the Dial-A-Ride taxi, which can be booked up to two weeks ahead or set as a standing weekly ride.
| 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.
Huntington Park has no wage ordinance of its own in the UC Berkeley Labor Center inventory, so a family employing a caregiver directly must pay at least California's $16.90 an hour. Los Angeles County's $18.47 rate does not reach into this city; it covers unincorporated areas. For comparison, BLS puts the regional aide median at $16.50 (May 2025), IHSS pays Los Angeles County providers $19.64, and CareScout's statewide agency median is $40 an hour. A caregiver you employ as a personal attendant is owed overtime after nine hours in a day or 45 in a week. Money is tight for many households here: the ACS median household income is $59,996, and 21.9% of residents 65 and over are below the poverty line. If your parent has Medi-Cal, apply for IHSS through DPSS at (888) 944-4477; CDSS requires a Medi-Cal eligibility determination for every IHSS applicant.
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 Huntington Park: frequently asked questions
Are there assisted living homes in Huntington Park?
CDSS's May 2025 licensing file shows no residential care facility for the elderly with a Huntington Park address. The city does have Huntington Park Nursing Center, a 99-bed skilled nursing facility on Miles Avenue, for people who need nursing care around the clock.
How does my father sign up for the city taxi?
Take proof of Huntington Park residency and proof of age (or disability) to the cashier in the Finance Department at City Hall, 6550 Miles Avenue, Monday through Thursday, and buy the $5 photo swipe card. Each ride then costs him $1.
Can a caregiver ride with my mother on the HP Express?
Yes, though the caregiver pays the 75-cent fare unless they qualify for a free ride themselves. Your mother rides free with a senior ID, a Senior Metro pass or her Medicare card and photo ID. The shuttle runs weekdays only.
Where is the senior lunch served?
At the Huntington Park Community Center, 6925 Salt Lake Avenue, on weekdays. The Human Services Association asks for an application and a reservation the day before at (562) 806-5400, with a suggested $3 donation.
Can IHSS pay a relative to care for my parent here?
Often, yes. DPSS says IHSS providers may be family members, friends, neighbors or PASC registry workers, and the recipient acts as the employer. If your parent is found eligible, Los Angeles County pays $19.64 an hour for authorized hours. Call DPSS on (888) 944-4477 to apply.
Does CaregiverConnect check caregivers' backgrounds?
No. Families do their own reference calls, credential lookups and any background check. Posting a Huntington Park job is free; messaging caregivers and hiring through the site need Family Premium at $24.99 a month.
