FAQs & Resources
The decision to move into a senior care facility can be a difficult and stressful situation. That’s why Inspira Health Group is here to help ease your mind and help make the decision as easy as possible.
Take a look at these important factors to consider when choosing care for yourself or your loved one.
It’s one of the toughest conversations to have with a loved one. That’s why our admissions staff provides free assessments and long-term care planning consultations to advise on the appropriate level of care needed, payment, and which of our facilities best suits your needs.
Direction Home, an area agency on aging, can also help, working closely with you to facilitate nursing home placement and waiver programs.
We’re here to help walk you through this process.
- First, our admissions staff reviews your care needs.
- We will then look at the best payment methods for you and what you may be eligible for through your insurance. Inspira Health Group accepts most insurances and Medicaid.
- We will provide you with a financial questionnaire to assess Medicaid eligibility, insurance coverage, or private pay. If you're Medicaid eligible, we have an application and checklist for you to complete.
- If desired, our social workers and admissions department can refer you to an estate planning attorney to help you implement a plan and ensure asset protection.
Yes! And we’re here to assist you in applying for Medicaid and its programs like PASSPORT, Home Care Waiver, and Assisted Living Waiver.

We have a great selection of high-quality foods available to meet our residents’ nutritional requirements and eating habits. The meals and snacks are all carefully prepared to cater to an individual’s dietary needs and restrictions. Food-related issues are considered when serving our residents, including nutritional needs, difficulty swallowing, allergies, medication interaction, exercise levels, and more.

Unlike an increasing number of senior care providers owned by private equity or other non-local entities, Inspira Health Group is locally owned and operated by members of the community. What’s more, our president and partners have worked “in the trenches” as former nurses and use their familiarity to bring only the best experiences to each of our residents and their families. Our locations truly feel like home, so much so that our own employees have loved ones as residents. And we’re at the forefront of senior care, using advanced medical technologies to implement the latest in world-class care.
