How to find an in-home caregiver in Loma Linda
Many Loma Linda requests begin with a discharge date. The city holds three general acute care hospitals on CDPH's list (Loma Linda University Medical Center, its Children's Hospital and its East Campus Hospital), so a good share of families here are arranging help for the weeks after surgery or a long admission: someone to help with the shower and dressing, prepare meals that fit the discharge instructions, keep track of new prescriptions and drive to follow-up appointments. Others need steady long-term help. ACS 2020–2024 counts 3,614 residents aged 65 or over, 833 of them 85 or older, and 2,549 households with at least one older member.
Say which of those situations is yours. A short-term request after a hospital stay should give the start date, the expected number of weeks and whether the caregiver must be comfortable with a walker, a wound dressing you will change yourself, or a feeding schedule. Long-term care requests should describe the daily routine. Mention language as well. Nearly half the city over age four (47.0%) uses something besides English at home; after Spanish, the Asian and Pacific Island language group is the largest.

Choosing well
Evaluating caregivers in Loma Linda
With this many licensed facilities in town, applicants often list facility jobs; ask which building, which unit and what the job involved. If they hold a nursing assistant certificate, check it on CDPH's lookup. If they come through a home care agency, the agency is licensed elsewhere (CDSS lists no home care organization in 92354) and any aide it sends needs a registration number from the Home Care Aide Registry, searchable by name. IHSS providers already work through San Bernardino County's Public Authority. Phone two references, include your parent in the conversation from the start, and book one paid trial visit. The site itself verifies no one; should you want a criminal-record search, you order and pay for it, with the applicant's signature on a consent form first.
Questions families here ask at interview
- Mom comes home from Loma Linda University Medical Center on Friday. Can you start that afternoon and help her settle in?
- Have you worked at Heritage Gardens or Loma Linda Post Acute, and what did you do there?
- Dad dialyzes at the kidney center on Anderson Street. Can your schedule work around his treatment days?
- The senior center lunch starts at 11:30, Monday to Thursday. Could you get her there and eat with her?
- She uses a walker now. Show me how you would steady her stepping into our tub.
- If the discharge nurse gives us new instructions, how will you keep track of what changed?
- Could this become an IHSS job later, with you as her enrolled provider?
Schedules and cost
What in-home care costs in Loma Linda: hourly rates and schedules
The first weeks home. Daily visits of four to eight hours while someone recovers from surgery or a hospital stay, tapering as they regain strength. Treatment days. Rides and waiting time for dialysis or clinic follow-ups, then rest at home. Senior center days. A late-morning drop-off for lunch and a class, with pick-up afterward. Overnight or weekend cover. For families who manage weekdays themselves but cannot keep watch at 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.
Loma Linda's median household income is $82,353 (ACS 2020–2024), and the poverty rate among people 65 and up, 17.7%, is above the citywide 12.3%. For an older parent on Medi-Cal, IHSS is the place to start: eligibility starts from a Medi-Cal determination plus living at home (CDSS), applications go to (877) 800-4544, and approved hours pay the chosen provider $19.00. Paying privately, you owe at least $16.90, the state figure, as no Loma Linda wage ordinance turns up when you search the Labor Center inventory kept at UC Berkeley. California's domestic worker statute also gives a live-out personal attendant 1.5 times pay beyond a 9-hour day or a 45-hour week. CareScout's 2025 California figures give context: $40 an hour for agency home care, $2,037 monthly for adult day services, and $7,000 monthly in assisted living.
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.

Safety
Hiring safely in Loma Linda
Write down the job before the caregiver starts: what is and is not included (especially anything medical), hours, pay, overtime, mileage for appointments and notice to end the arrangement. Keep the discharge papers and medication list where the caregiver can see them, but keep prescription painkillers and cash locked away. Ask for a short daily note, and check bank activity on your parent's accounts. For emergencies call 911; mistreatment or money going missing can be reported to the county at (877) 565-2020 or to the state's APS line, 1-833-401-0832. Household-employer taxes and payroll are covered in the guide to hiring privately; aging services across the county appear on the San Bernardino County page.
