Yucaipa, CA, is about 10 miles east of San Bernardino. It offers a choice of affordable suburban and rural living for its 54,600 residents, 14.6% of whom are aged 65+. Yucaipa Regional Park illustrates this blend of vibrancy and serenity, and the city’s low cost of living average is partly due to lower house prices, health care and transportation. Crime rates are below the state and national averages, suggesting Yucaipa is a safer place to live. The city’s median monthly fee for home care is $5,911, which is above the national average but $190 per month cheaper than California’s norm. Home care is nonmedical and shouldn’t be confused with home health care — a medical service from registered nurses and licensed therapists.
Below we’ve compiled a comprehensive directory of every home care provider in the Yucaipa area – complete with services offered and reviews from families who’ve actually used the service. In addition to our in-depth provider listings, we’ve compiled resources to help seniors and their families to access all the tools they need to age in place safely and gracefully.

The 2021 Genworth Cost of Care Survey records Yucaipa’s median monthly home care fee as $5,911. Although this is above the national average of $4,957, it’s below California’s $6,101. This suggests seniors relocating from out of state may find the city costly. It also suggests those moving from elsewhere in California might find it more affordable. Yucaipa isn’t the most expensive city in Southern California. Nearby cities, such as San Diego and Riverside, are costlier — the former being $6,387 per month and the latter being $6,101. However, there are cheaper options in the region, such as Oxnard, at $5,815, and Bakersfield, at $5,506.

Given the high cost of in-home care, many people use one or more forms of financial assistance to cover the expenses. Below, we explain some of the most common sources of financial help for paying for in-home care. If none of these options are available to you, you can reach out to your Area Agency on Aging or Aging and Disability Resource Center to learn about local resources.
Living at home can bring challenges for seniors and caregivers who might think they must face them alone. However, there are many nonprofit organizations that regularly help Yucaipa seniors with common problems. These groups either don’t charge for their services or their fees are low. They include law firms, government agencies and charities. The following list contains just a few.
