Care Services FAQ at Inspira Gateway

Inspira offers several lifestyle choices: Independent Living, Assisted Living and Memory Care. All of Inspira’s apartment homes are licensed for Assisted Living to ensure residents can receive personal care services without having to move. This means continuing to enjoy living near friends and neighbors regardless of whether you or they need a little help getting ready for another exciting day.

We recognize every individual is unique and don’t expect that to change just because their memory has. We create programs throughout the community based on the rhythm of life — and our Memory Care program takes it a few steps further. We describe our approach as flexible, with the expectation and ability to flow with the ups and downs each day brings. Our activities are founded upon the Seven Dimensions of Wellness: social, emotional, spiritual, environmental, occupational, intellectual and physical. We enjoy adapting to the sometimes unexpected needs of our residents, and we think they do too.

Some of our residents in Assisted Living simply require assistance managing medications, while others need various levels of care. We can help our residents with daily living activities, such as showering, dressing, grooming and even escorts to dining and activities. Each resident has a personalized service plan that is updated regularly to meet changing needs.

Our nurse assesses each Assisted Living resident’s care needs to create a personalized care plan that determines their level of support. Assessments are done upon moving in and following a health event to ensure everyone receives as much or as little care as they need.

Staffing ratios are not mandated by the state of Arizona, which allows Inspira to staff according to resident needs rather than achieve an arbitrary number.

Our Care Partners are certified caregivers. They must complete the approved training program, which is overseen by the Arizona Board of Nursing. Cogir provides ongoing training monthly, and as needed.
