A Pioneering Approach Offered By a Local Team

Home Instead offers an innovative approach to in-home care that the company’s founders developed more than a quarter century ago. Since that time, Home Instead has grown to include franchises across the country and overseas, but each franchise operates independently, and caring, compassionate Caregivers who provide eldercare are hired from the local community. San Fernando, CA families are fortunate that a Home Instead franchise works locally under the guidance of CEO and franchise owner Jim Trisch, RN. Mr. Trisch is a Registered Nurse who worked for more than 30 years in healthcare. He specialized in critical care, organ donation, and organ transplantation, and he eventually moved into executive leadership. What changed everything for him was the experience of caring for his own mother’s residential assisted living needs. Recognizing a lack of help for families who experienced this burden, Mr. Trisch opened a local Home Instead franchise to serve the needs of San Fernando, Studio City, Van Nuys, Sherman Oaks, Panorama City, Pacoima, Valley Village, and North Hills. The leadership of the franchise also includes Service Coordinator Mabel Lopez and Staffing Coordinator Cherisse Cruz. Together with Mr. Trisch they oversee a team of trained, screened, bonded, and compassionate Caregivers.
