What ITN Provides
We provide in-home personal care (non-medical) with bilingual English/Japanese caregivers, on a prearranged schedule. All personal care aides are insured, background-checked, and receive regular on-site supervision.
We do not provide transportation (caregivers may accompany a client but may not drive), and our caregivers do not accept gifts.
Clients Who May Be a Fit
- Needing companionship, light housekeeping, meals or errands rather than hands-on care (Level 1)
- Going home and needing hands-on help with daily activities: feeding, walking, transfers, toileting, grooming (Level 2)
- Japanese-speaking clients or families who prefer a Japanese-speaking caregiver
Levels of Care and Minimum Visit
Level 1: Companion / chore. Companionship and conversation, medication reminders, light housekeeping, laundry, dishes, bed making, and community access (shopping, appointments or outings; assist only, no driving).
Level 2: Personal care (includes Level 1 help). Feeding, walking, transfers, toileting, grooming, medication reminders, range-of-motion exercises, meal preparation, and attention to the client’s safety.
Minimum visit length: two (2) hours.
All services are private pay only. We do not accept insurance or Medicare/Medicaid payments. Rates depend on the level of care and visit length; please call for current rates and availability.
How to Refer
- Call, fax or email us with the information listed below. Our office responds and sends intake forms by mail, email or fax; the client’s Information Sheet has a “Referred by” line for your name and number.
- In-home assessment by an ITN Care Coordinator (an assessment fee applies). The level of care is determined at the assessment visit, and medical records are collected as part of this step. Care begins once caregivers are matched to the client’s schedule and needs.
What to Send with a Referral
- Your name and contact number
- Client’s name, age, birthdate, address and phone
- Guardian, primary caregiver and emergency contact, with relationship and phone
- Primary physician and pharmacy, with contact numbers
