How to find an in-home caregiver in Redlands
For many families the search begins with a hospital discharge. The city's own hospital, Redlands Community Hospital, is on Terracina Boulevard, and Loma Linda University Medical Center is on Anderson Street in neighboring Loma Linda. When a parent comes home from either, the first two weeks usually need the most hours. Publish your post once a discharge date is on the table, list what the discharge planner asked for (help bathing, getting to follow-up appointments, watching for falls), and say whether your parent lives alone. About one in seven Redlands residents is 65 or older (14.9%, ACS 2020–2024), and roughly 1,600 are 85 or older, so plan for the care an older parent living at home really needs.
Applicants may live in Redlands or in a nearby city; the cards above update as people join and show distance from the ZIP code you enter. Use your parent's ZIP, not yours, if you live out of town. Note it if your parent would rather speak Spanish, the home language of 21.3% of Redlands residents aged five and up.

Choosing well
Evaluating caregivers in Redlands
Redlands families can check three kinds of credential. A CNA has passed a state exam after a CDPH-approved course; Crafton Hills College in Yucaipa runs one such course. IHSS providers enrolled with the county have finished orientation and DOJ fingerprinting. A registered Home Care Aide has cleared the state registry, which independents join voluntarily for $35. Ask which applies and verify it, phone the last two families or employers, interview at your parent's home, and try one or two paid shifts. Background reports need the caregiver's signed consent. CaregiverConnect leaves vetting to you; its Verified badge means an upload, nothing more.
Questions families here ask at interview
- What experience do you have with patients just discharged from Loma Linda University Medical Center or Redlands Community Hospital?
- Will you drive my mother to follow-up visits in Loma Linda, and how do you bill mileage?
- Which do you hold: CNA certification, IHSS enrollment or Home Care Aide registration?
- How do you help someone shower safely after hip or knee surgery?
- Could you take my father to the Flores or Joslyn senior center and stay with him?
- What would you do if my mother refused her medication?
- What do you charge per hour on weekdays versus weekends?
Schedules and cost
What in-home care costs in Redlands: hourly rates and schedules
Expect daily visits for two to three weeks after a hospital stay, tapering to two or three weekday blocks. Families with a parent living alone often add a short evening check. Weekend and overnight cover are worth posting separately so caregivers can apply for the part they can do.
| 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.
Redlands follows the $16.90 state minimum (no local ordinance on the UC Berkeley Labor Center list). San Bernardino County IHSS pays providers $19.00, and the California agency median is $40. Median household income in Redlands is $105,041 (ACS 2020–2024), above the county's $85,478; hiring directly usually lands well below the agency figure. If your parent is aged, blind or disabled and has Medi-Cal, apply for IHSS through (877) 800-4544 before settling on private hours.
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 Redlands: frequently asked questions
My mother is being discharged from Loma Linda. How fast can I find help?
Post the moment you have a likely date. Caregivers near your Redlands ZIP code see the posting immediately; ask the discharge planner what care is needed and copy that list into it.
Is Loma Linda part of Redlands?
No. Loma Linda is a separate community next to Redlands. Its medical center is on Anderson Street; Redlands Community Hospital is the hospital within Redlands.
Should I hire through an agency or directly?
Agencies handle payroll and backup but cost more; CareScout puts the California agency median at $40 an hour. Hiring directly costs less, and you take on screening and household-employer duties.
Are there activities for my father during the day?
The Joslyn Senior Center on Grant Street and the Flores Senior Center on West Lugonia Avenue both run programs; a caregiver can accompany him.
Who helps me, the family caregiver?
Call ICRC, the regional caregiver resource center, on (800) 675-6694, or the county's Senior Information and Assistance line, (877) 565-2020.
