How to find an in-home caregiver in Running Springs
Running Springs, an unincorporated community in San Bernardino County, has no licensed place for an older adult to move into. Search 92382 in the state licensing files and the result is empty: there is no home care organization, home health agency, hospice, nursing home or assisted living home. Help at home therefore comes from family, from IHSS hours if your relative qualifies, or from a caregiver you hire and pay yourself. ACS 2020–2024 estimates 844 residents aged 65 and over; 587 local households include someone that age, and roughly 200 older people live on their own.
When you post, give a nearby cross street or bus stop rather than your full address, list the days and hours, and say whether the job includes driving. With few local candidates, a clear request matters: caregivers who answer may be coming from elsewhere in the county, so mention whether you will pay mileage or drive time. Profiles of caregivers who cover 92382 are listed on this page and change as people sign up.

Choosing well
Evaluating caregivers in Running Springs
Separate applicants by what you can check. CNAs and home health aides appear in CDPH's certificate lookup. An aide employed by a licensed agency should be listed when you type the aide's name into the CDSS registry search. A caregiver already paid through IHSS has completed San Bernardino County's provider enrollment, including fingerprinting and orientation. Then do your own work: call two earlier employers, hold the interview at your relative's home, and pay for a trial shift that includes a drive to an errand, since rides are a large part of most jobs here. CaregiverConnect does not run background checks; if you want one, use a licensed screening company and get the applicant's written consent.
Questions families here ask at interview
- Could you take Dad to a Golden Oaks class at the Hootman Community Center and wait for him?
- Have you ridden Mountain Transit Route 4 or Route 5, and would you ride with Mom on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday trip to San Bernardino?
- Mom sees doctors in San Bernardino. Are you comfortable driving her there, and what do you charge per mile?
- Many houses on our street sit empty midweek. If Dad falls and no neighbor is home, what do you do first?
- If Mom qualifies for IHSS, would you become her provider and handle the county enrollment?
- Can you cook simple meals Dad will eat and keep a log of what he had?
- I live out of the area. How would you update me after each visit?
Schedules and cost
What in-home care costs in Running Springs: hourly rates and schedules
Weekday mornings. Two to four hours to get someone up, washed, dressed and fed. Bus or drive days. A longer block on a Monday, Wednesday or Friday for an appointment or shopping in San Bernardino, timed around Route 5 if your relative rides the bus. Short check-ins. An hour several times a week for meals, medicines and a look around the house. Respite. An afternoon or a weekend in which the spouse or adult child carrying the load can rest.
| 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.
Median household income in Running Springs is $81,516 (ACS 2020–2024), and 40.8% of residents have public health coverage, so check whether IHSS can carry part of the cost before you pay privately. CDSS requires a Medi-Cal eligibility determination, followed by a county social worker's home visit to set the hours. San Bernardino County takes applications at (877) 800-4544 and pays $19.00 hourly to the provider your relative selects. If you hire directly, California's $16.90 minimum applies, because no county or unincorporated-area ordinance appears in the Labor Center inventory. Watch long appointment days in San Bernardino: a personal attendant who works beyond nine hours that day, or beyond 45 that week, earns overtime (Domestic Worker Bill of Rights). Add mileage for errands. An agency would send staff from outside Running Springs; CareScout put the 2025 California agency median at $40 an hour.
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 Running Springs
Before day one, list on paper the duties, days and times, pay per hour and for overtime, the per-mile rate, and the notice you will each give to end the job. Have the caregiver fill in hours every week and sign the sheet together. Lock away cash, checkbooks and controlled medications, and turn on bank alerts. Because neighboring houses may be empty for days, ask a friend or a Golden Oaks acquaintance to drop by now and then, and keep a list of emergency numbers by the phone. Call 911 in an emergency and (877) 565-2020 if you suspect abuse or financial exploitation. For payroll and tax rules when you employ someone at home, see our household hiring guide; county aging services, caregiver support and the long-term care ombudsman are listed for families on our San Bernardino County page.

Questions
Hiring a caregiver in Running Springs: frequently asked questions
Is there a senior center in Running Springs?
The Robert Hootman Community Center serves that purpose. The local park district owns it, and the Golden Oaks senior group holds its meetings and classes there.
Could my father move to a care home in Running Springs?
Not locally. CDPH and CDSS list no care home or nursing home at a 92382 address. The closest licensed skilled nursing beds we can confirm by bus are the 20 at Mountains Community Hospital, a Route 4 stop.
How does an older person get around Running Springs without a car?
Route 4 is free Tuesday through Saturday, Route 5 runs to San Bernardino on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, and ADA-eligible riders can request free paratransit on (909) 878-5200. For appointments, a caregiver who drives is usually easier.
Can IHSS cover a caregiver for my mother in Running Springs?
Possibly. First comes a Medi-Cal eligibility determination, then a county social worker assesses her needs at home. Apply at (877) 800-4544; approved hours are paid at San Bernardino County's $19.00 rate.
What do I pay to use CaregiverConnect?
Publishing your request costs nothing. Contacting and hiring a caregiver requires Family Premium, billed at $24.99 per month. The site does not vet anyone, so confirming references and credentials is up to you.
