Innovative Nurses & Sitters
providing Caregivers in Houston since 1994
Innovative Nurses & Sitters (INS) is a Texas State Licensed Home and Community Support Service Agency. Since 1994, we have been providing personal assistance services in the form of private duty visiting nurses, sitters and companions to individuals and the elderly living at home , in a retirement community, an assisted living facility, a hospital/skilled care unit, or those living with family members.
“I get daily peace of mind knowing you and your staff are present and working with my parents as they struggle to learn to lean more on others. One of the reasons that I decided to go with Innovative Nurses & Sitters is that you actually gave me references. You have been a lifesaver.” — A.M.
Innovative Nurses & Sitters is a non-franchised Houston based company, owner operated since 1994. Our specialty is caring for the
elderly and disabled by assuring their comfort and safety yet encouraging them to remain as independent as possible.

Types of Care
Sitter / Companion Care
The services provided by Innovative Nurses & Sitters benefit the client by ensuring their safety and security in the absence of a family member. Our caregivers tend to the personal needs of people that are often overlooked in a hospital or assisted living setting. In the home, our caregivers assist with personal needs, provide light housekeeping, perform chores and run errands. Our reliable help offers companionship, prepares meals and attends to a client for 4 to 24 hours per day.
Live-in Care
When the situation is appropriate, a live-in caregiver may be the way to go. We will arrange for someone to live in the home and provide 24 hour supervision and custodial care. Rates are commensurate with the level of care required.
Client Check-in Calls
INS will provide someone to call periodically or to drop in for 1 or 2 hours several times a week to check on the well being of a client. This service is invaluable to family members who live out of town and need an extra pair of eyes and ears watching over their loved one.
Recovery Care
Our short-term caregiving services will provide the privacy that you desire after a medical procedure. It is our goal to minimize the discomfort of post-surgical symptoms and maximize your comfort and well-being at the location you choose - home, hospital, or hotel. Four to twenty-four hours for as long as you need. ...more info...
