How to find an in-home caregiver in San Dimas
Much of the week for older San Dimas residents runs through the Senior Citizen/Community Center at 201 E. Bonita Avenue, in the Civic Center, which has served older adults since 1993. YWCA San Gabriel Valley serves lunch there Monday to Friday at 11 a.m. to anyone 60 or older, with check-in from 10:30 and no reservation needed. The center also hosts chair exercise, tai chi, yoga and brain health classes offered with Mt. San Antonio College's continuing education division, Tuesday bingo and a monthly themed dinner. A parent who still enjoys that routine may only need someone to help them get ready, drive them over and stay for the afternoon. Say so in your post, along with any evenings or weekends you need covered.
About one in five residents aged five and older (19.7% in ACS 2020–2024) speaks Spanish at home, and 12.1% speak an Asian or Pacific Islander language. When your parent would rather speak Spanish or another language, name it at the top of the post. Profiles of caregivers who live nearest 91773 are shown below, and the list changes as more people join.

Choosing well
Evaluating caregivers in San Dimas
Start with whatever an applicant can prove. State certification for nursing assistants and home health aides is public, so look the name up on CDPH's verification page before the interview. Someone who has worked shifts at Casa Bonita, Bayshire San Dimas or San Dimas Community Hospital has a supervisor you can phone. IHSS providers in Los Angeles County have cleared DPSS fingerprinting and orientation, and anyone a licensed home care agency sends to your door must be registered as a home care aide with the state. Independent caregivers with no paperwork can still be excellent: call two past families yourself, ask about a hard night and what they did, and have your parent sit in on the final interviews. Then book a paid trial shift while you are home. CaregiverConnect does not screen anyone, so any background report is yours to order, with the applicant's signed consent.
Questions families here ask at interview
- Could you get my father to the YWCA lunch at the senior center by 10:30 check-in on weekdays?
- Tell me about a client you looked after once they left San Dimas Community Hospital or Casa Bonita.
- Would you book Get About rides with him, or use your own car for appointments?
- Do you speak Spanish, and could you help him talk to his doctor's office?
- How would you handle the evening when my mother with dementia becomes restless?
- If the county approves IHSS hours for her, will you sign up with DPSS as the provider?
- He has fallen twice this year; what is your plan if it happens on your shift?
Schedules and cost
What in-home care costs in San Dimas: hourly rates and schedules
Weekday mornings. Getting ready, the drive to the senior center and lunch, then home by early afternoon. After a hospital stay. Daily visits from the day of discharge, cut back as your parent regains strength. Evenings and overnights. Cover for families caring for someone with dementia or receiving hospice visits, so a spouse can sleep.
| 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.
San Dimas has not passed its own minimum wage, according to the Labor Center at UC Berkeley, which leaves the state's $16.90 as the floor for a caregiver working in your home. Three benchmarks help you set a rate: the $16.50 regional median that BLS reported for May 2025, the $19.64 the county pays IHSS providers, and the $40 an hour CareScout found as California's median for agency non-medical care in 2025. If you are the employer of a personal attendant, pay time and a half for any hours above nine in one day or 45 in one week. The typical San Dimas household earns $105,321 a year (ACS median). For a parent with Medi-Cal, DPSS takes IHSS applications 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.
