How to find an in-home caregiver in Templeton
As an unincorporated census-designated place, Templeton gets its parks, fire and water from the Templeton Community Services District, whose recreation office at 599 South Main Street is open Tuesday to Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., on (805) 434-4909. The district is reimagining its 55+ Social Club, which gathers from 11 to 1 on the third Wednesday of each month inside the Templeton Community Center, 601 South Main Street, to socialize, learn and play games, with light refreshments. For a weekday hot lunch, Meals That Connect groups Templeton with Atascadero; the dining room for both is the Atascadero Senior Center at 5905-C East Mall, (805) 466-2317. Those two outings, plus Templeton Dial-A-Ride on Tuesdays and Thursdays, are the fixed points many families build a caregiver's week around.
Language is rarely a barrier here: 92.8% of Templeton's population aged five and up uses English alone at home, and 4.8% use Spanish (ACS 2020–2024). Where a Templeton parent is more at ease in Spanish, that belongs in your post's first sentence. Profiles below are sorted nearest-first from 93465 and refresh as new caregivers sign up.

Evaluating caregivers in Templeton
Sort Templeton applicants by what can be verified. CNA certificates show up in CDPH's online verification, and anyone who has worked at Vineyard Hills Health Center or Adventist Health Twin Cities can name a charge nurse or supervisor for you to call. An enrolled IHSS provider has passed the state's Department of Justice fingerprint check and attended a county orientation. Agencies may only send aides whose names CDSS has entered on its Home Care Aide Registry. Many capable independent caregivers in North County hold no credential at all, so for them lean on two references from past clients, a question about the worst shift they ever had, and a meeting with your parent. Then book one paid trial shift with a family member home for all of it. CaregiverConnect runs no checks of its own; any background report is ordered by your family after the applicant signs a consent.
Questions families here ask at interview
- Could you drive my mother to Templeton Dialysis on Las Tablas Road and stay with her through the session?
- My father is coming home from Vineyard Hills after rehab; what would you do on his first day?
- Would you take her to the 55+ Social Club at the Community Center on third Wednesdays?
- Are you comfortable booking Templeton Dial-A-Ride, or would you use your own car and log the mileage?
- Have you helped anyone get ready for a procedure or appointment at Twin Cities Hospital?
- If the county approves IHSS hours, could you enroll as his provider?
- Mom uses a walker on the stairs; how do you help someone up after a fall without hurting either of you?
What in-home care costs in Templeton: hourly rates and schedules

A late-morning shift on the third Wednesday for the Social Club, or a weekday trip to the Atascadero lunch. After discharge.

| Reference point | Hourly | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Employed aides, San Luis Obispo–Paso Robles metro (San Luis Obispo County) | $16.50 median | BLS OEWS, May 2025 |
| IHSS provider wage, San Luis Obispo County | $21.40 | 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.
No Templeton or San Luis Obispo County wage ordinance is listed in UC Berkeley's July 23, 2026 wage inventory, so a Templeton family employing a caregiver starts at California's $16.90 minimum. Other markers for setting a rate: BLS's $16.50 median for the metro's home care aides in May 2025, IHSS at $21.40 for county providers, and CareScout's $40 statewide agency median from 2025. Should a dialysis day top nine hours, or the week top 45, the Domestic Worker Bill of Rights pays a personal attendant 1.5 times the regular rate for the extra hours. The ACS median household income in Templeton is $117,063. Parents on full-scope Medi-Cal can ask San Luis Obispo County about IHSS hours by calling (805) 461-6110.
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.
