How to find an in-home caregiver in Maywood
Maywood's Senior Services page describes help delivered through partner organizations, and the most visible partner is the Southeast Rio Vista YMCA on E. 58th Street, a city building the Y leases. The city's YMCA page lists free classes for people 60 and older, water aerobics on Mondays and Wednesdays, chair yoga on Tuesdays and stretch and dance on Wednesdays, plus a weekday brunch from 10:30 to 11:45 a.m. served with Human Services Association. Maywood Dial-A-Ride makes trips to and from the Y free for registered riders.
That shapes what a caregiver does here. Many families want a few dependable hours: getting a parent dressed and to the Y, staying home with someone who no longer goes out, or covering the afternoon after a clinic visit. Spanish is the home language for 88.9% of residents aged five and over (ACS 2020–2024); if Spanish suits your parent better, make that the opening line of the post. Caregiver profiles nearest 90270 appear below, and the list grows as new caregivers join.

Choosing well
Evaluating caregivers in Maywood
Start with what each applicant can document. CNAs carry a state certificate number; type it into CDPH's online lookup before the interview. Someone who has worked shifts at the Pine Avenue skilled nursing center or at Vista on Atlantic Boulevard can give you a supervisor to phone. Current IHSS providers have been through Los Angeles County's orientation and fingerprinting, and an aide sent by a licensed home care organization needs a listing on the CDSS Home Care Aide Registry. Plenty of trustworthy Maywood caregivers have no paperwork at all, which is why the conversation matters: ask in Spanish and English how they would handle a fall or a refusal to eat, call two people who have employed them, and book one paid practice day with a relative in the house. CaregiverConnect runs no screening of its own. For a background report, the applicant agrees in writing and your family orders it.
Questions families here ask at interview
- ¿Puede acompañar a mi papá a la clase de yoga en silla del YMCA los martes?
- Could you get Mom ready in time for the 10:30 brunch at the Southeast Rio Vista YMCA?
- Have you worked at Maywood Skilled Nursing or another nursing home, and what did you do there?
- Would you help my father fill out the Dial-A-Ride application and go with him to City Hall?
- Can you explain the doctor's instructions to me in English after a visit at the clinic on Atlantic Boulevard?
- If Mom gets IHSS hours, would you sign up with the county to be paid as her provider?
- Dad sometimes refuses his pills. How have you handled that before?
Schedules and cost
What in-home care costs in Maywood: hourly rates and schedules
Y mornings. Two or three hours on class days, from breakfast through the brunch and the ride home. Adult day health days. A short shift before and after a parent's hours at Vista on Atlantic Boulevard. Weekday coverage. A block of four to six hours while adult children are at work, with weekends left to family.
| 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.
The City of Los Angeles wage does not reach Maywood, an independent city, and the UC Berkeley Labor Center inventory has no Maywood ordinance, so $16.90 an hour, California's rate, is the legal floor when you hire a caregiver yourself. To judge an offer, compare it with three figures: BLS's May 2025 median of $16.50 an hour for aides in the two-county metro, the $19.64 Los Angeles County pays IHSS providers, and $40, CareScout's 2025 California median hourly charge for agency non-medical care. California's Domestic Worker Bill of Rights adds overtime for a personal attendant you employ once the day tops nine hours or the week tops 45. Maywood's ACS median household income is $60,943, so if your parent has Medi-Cal, call DPSS about IHSS on (888) 944-4477 before setting a private budget.
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 Maywood
Agree the job in a short signed note: what the caregiver does, which days and hours, the hourly pay and overtime, and the notice needed to end it. Review hours worked every Friday, keep cash, jewelry and pain pills out of sight, and have the bank send your phone a text whenever large sums leave your parent's account. In an emergency, dial 911. To report suspected mistreatment, neglect or money exploitation of a Maywood senior or dependent adult, phone 1-833-401-0832 at any hour; CDSS connects the call to Adult Protective Services once you key in the ZIP code. The private hiring guide covers payroll and taxes, and the county page lists programs that support family caregivers across Los Angeles County.

Questions
Hiring a caregiver in Maywood: frequently asked questions
Is there a senior center in Maywood?
Senior activities are based at the Southeast Rio Vista YMCA on E. 58th Street, which runs free wellness classes for adults 60 and older and a weekday brunch with Human Services Association. Call the Y at (323) 588-2256 for the current schedule.
How does my father sign up for Maywood Dial-A-Ride?
He applies in person at City Hall, bringing proof that he is 62 or older or has a disability, plus proof that he lives in Maywood, and pays $5 for a photo swipe card. A card is never issued on someone else's behalf, so plan to go with him.
Is there adult day care in Maywood?
Yes. CDPH licenses Vista Adult Day Health Care Center at 6061 Atlantic Boulevard. The Eden Care Center license on Slauson Avenue is a pediatric day health and respite care license.
What should I pay a caregiver in Maywood?
At least $16.90 an hour for a caregiver you employ, because Maywood follows the state minimum rather than the City of Los Angeles rate. Experience, language skills and the tasks involved all move the rate up from there.
Can IHSS pay for a caregiver in Maywood?
Yes, for a parent who qualifies; CDSS requires a Medi-Cal eligibility determination. The county then pays your chosen provider $19.64 an hour for the hours it approves. DPSS takes applications on (888) 944-4477.
Does CaregiverConnect screen the caregivers?
No. You choose which references, certificates or background reports to check, and you run those checks. Posting a Maywood request is free; messaging and hiring come with Family Premium, $24.99 monthly.
