How to find an in-home caregiver in Temple City
Many older Temple City residents already have part of their week covered by the city. Live Oak Park Community Center on Bogue Street serves a senior lunch at 11 a.m. for a recommended $3 donation, with photo ID required at check-in, and runs Meals on Wheels for seniors who cannot leave home. Dial-A-Ride vans take members 60 and older anywhere inside the city for 50 cents. What the city cannot supply is a person at home. Its vans are curb-to-curb, and the driver will not walk your father to the door or carry bags inside, so the service guide itself suggests bringing an escort or personal care attendant. That gap, plus mornings, evenings and weekends, is where most families here hire.
Spell out language needs in your post. The 2020–2024 ACS counts 50.5% of Temple City's population over age four speaking an Asian or Pacific Island language with family and 13.0% speaking Spanish; 34.8% rate their English below "very well." A Cantonese-speaking parent and a Mandarin-speaking caregiver may not understand each other, so name the dialect. Caregiver profiles near 91780 appear below and change as new caregivers sign up.

Choosing well
Evaluating caregivers in Temple City
Start with the paper trail each applicant has. Certified nursing assistants and home health aides are listed in CDPH's online certificate lookup; ask which Temple City nursing home or agency they worked for and phone that supervisor. Someone already working as an IHSS provider went through DPSS fingerprinting and orientation. Agencies may send only aides whose names CDSS has entered in the Home Care Aide Registry. Plenty of strong independent caregivers hold none of these, which is why two reference calls of your own matter: ask each reference about a fall, a missed medication or a confused evening. Let your parent meet the last two candidates, then pay for one trial shift with a son, daughter or spouse in the house. CaregiverConnect does not screen or background-check caregivers; you can order a report yourself once the applicant consents in writing.
Questions families here ask at interview
- Can you have my mother checked in at Live Oak Park before the 10 a.m. cutoff and stay for lunch?
- Do you speak Cantonese, Mandarin or Vietnamese, and could you read her medicine labels to her?
- Would you ride along on Dial-A-Ride to her doctor in Arcadia or San Gabriel as her attendant?
- Have you worked at Santa Anita Convalescent Hospital or helped someone home after a nursing home stay?
- How would you spend a dialysis day with my father, before and after the treatment?
- Would you be willing to sign up with DPSS as her IHSS provider if she is approved?
- What would you do first if he became confused and wanted to leave the house at night?
Schedules and cost
What in-home care costs in Temple City: hourly rates and schedules
Lunch-day mornings. Arrive around 8 a.m., help with bathing and dressing, get to the first check-in window, then home by early afternoon. Appointment escort. Two to four hours on the days a Dial-A-Ride trip is booked, since rides are reserved up to seven days ahead. Evening cover. Dinner, medication reminders and bedtime for a parent whose grown children are at work until 6 or 7 p.m.
| 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.
UC Berkeley's inventory shows no Temple City wage ordinance. Pay for a caregiver working in the city therefore starts at California's $16.90. Dial-A-Ride's guide also serves adjacent unincorporated county areas; a parent who lives in one of those falls under Los Angeles County's $18.47, in force since July 1, 2026. Useful markers when you set a rate: $16.50 is the May 2025 BLS median across Los Angeles and Orange counties for home health and personal care aides, $19.64 is what IHSS pays, CareScout's 2025 survey found California agencies billing a median $40 per hour for non-medical help, and $94 a day is its state median for adult day health care. The Domestic Worker Bill of Rights gives a personal attendant you employ time-and-a-half after hour nine of a shift and after hour 45 of a week. Half of Temple City households take in more than $104,425 a year (ACS 2020–2024).
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 Temple City: frequently asked questions
Where do Temple City seniors go for lunch?
Live Oak Park Community Center at 10144 Bogue Street serves lunch at 11 a.m. with a $3 recommended donation. Bring ID to the 8:30 a.m. check-in; anyone not seated by 10:45 a.m. is moved to the waitlist.
Can a caregiver ride Dial-A-Ride with my parent?
Yes. Tell the reservation agent at booking that an adult escort will come. Because drivers stay at the curb, a caregiver is the one who gets your parent from the front door to the van and into the clinic.
Does Dial-A-Ride go outside Temple City?
For city residents, to set destinations in Arcadia, El Monte, Rosemead and San Gabriel, such as doctor offices, hospitals, adult day care and convalescent homes. Members from unincorporated county areas can travel only into Temple City.
How much do Temple City families pay a private caregiver?
The legal floor inside the city is $16.90 an hour. Beyond that the rate is yours to negotiate; language skills, personal care and overnight hours usually raise it. For a ceiling, CareScout's 2025 California median for agency care was $40 an hour.
Can IHSS pay for care in Temple City?
Yes, when your parent has Medi-Cal eligibility and the county's assessment finds a need for help. The provider your parent chooses, who can be a relative, then earns $19.64 per authorized hour. Call DPSS on (888) 944-4477 to apply.
Does CaregiverConnect check caregivers' backgrounds?
No. Checks are up to each family. You can post a Temple City job without paying; to message caregivers and hire through CaregiverConnect, Temple City families add Family Premium, $24.99 monthly.
