How to find an in-home caregiver in Monrovia
Monrovia's Community Center on W. Palm Avenue anchors much of the week for older residents. Two senior clubs meet there on Tuesdays and Wednesdays with lunch, Co-Mingle Mondays add a drop-in social hour with lunch, and stretching classes run five days a week. Monrovia Transit vans carry registered riders 62 and older, or with a disability, curb to curb for 50 cents. Because of that, many Monrovia families do not need full-time care at first. They need someone for the hours around those programs: helping a parent dress and get to the club by 9:30 a.m., staying through an afternoon after a hospital stay, or covering evenings and weekends. Name those hours in your post.
About three in ten residents aged five and older (30.1% in ACS 2020–2024) speak Spanish at home. If your family wants a bilingual caregiver, say so up front. Caregiver profiles closest to 91016 appear below, and the list changes as new people finish signing up.

Choosing well
Evaluating caregivers in Monrovia
Compare applicants by what they can show. A CNA or home health aide holds a CDPH certificate you can verify online, and Monrovia Gardens or Monrovia Memorial Hospital experience is easy to check with a phone call. An IHSS provider has already passed county fingerprinting and orientation. An aide from Comfort Keepers, Home Instead or another licensed home care organization must be listed on the Home Care Aide Registry. Plenty of capable independent caregivers have none of these, so phone at least two references, ask how they handled a hard day, and let your parent meet each finalist. A paid trial shift with a family member present tells you more than an interview. CaregiverConnect does not run checks on caregivers; with the applicant's written consent, you can order a background report yourself.
Questions families here ask at interview
- Could you get my mother to her senior club at the Community Center by 9:30 on Tuesdays?
- Have you helped someone recover at home after Monrovia Memorial Hospital or a nursing home stay?
- Are you comfortable scheduling Monrovia Transit rides, or would you drive her yourself?
- Do you speak Spanish, and could you talk with her doctor's office for us?
- How would you handle a dialysis day when Dad comes home tired and nauseous?
- If my father is approved for IHSS, would you sign up as his provider?
- What would you do if she fell while you were alone with her?
Schedules and cost
What in-home care costs in Monrovia: hourly rates and schedules
Club days. Tuesday and Wednesday mornings, from getting ready through the 11:30 a.m. lunch and the ride home. Recovery weeks. Daily shifts for a few weeks after a hospital discharge or a short rehab stay, tapering as strength returns. Respite. One or two fixed afternoons a week so a spouse who provides most of the care can rest or run errands.
| 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.
Monrovia has no local minimum wage in UC Berkeley's inventory, so if you employ a caregiver for work in the city the floor is $16.90 an hour. If your parent lives in unincorporated county territory nearby, the county's $18.47 from July 1, 2026 applies to work done there. Other reference points: a $16.50 regional median for home health and personal care aides (BLS, May 2025), the $19.64 Los Angeles County IHSS wage, and $40 an hour, CareScout's 2025 statewide median for agency non-medical care. Overtime is due after nine hours in a day or 45 in a week for a personal attendant you employ. Monrovia's ACS median household income is $96,021. For a parent on Medi-Cal, ask DPSS about IHSS on (888) 944-4477.
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.
