Intrinsic Home Care was borne out of the overwhelming desire to serve the sick, elderly, and disabled residents of the Chicago Metropolitan area and Northwest Indiana. We are an independently-owned and operated provider of home care services, fully compliant with all licensing and statutory requirements as well as the Health Care Worker Background Check Act. We employ a competent and experienced care staff that provides top-notch services to clients in the comforts of home.
All monies derived from the Indiana Workforce Investment Grant will be utilized as follows: Intrinsic Home Care, LLC. will dedicate 20% of the grant toward covering overtime, and 30% will be applied for vacation time for full-time staff. The remaining 50% will go toward staff bonuses contingent on a minimum of 6 months of employment with the agency. The administration team feels the addition of paid time off, and bonuses will boost staff morale and encourage our staff to continue to work in the field.
