Greetings partners and friends!

I would like to notify you that through this blog, we will be covering different topics that we at Inspiration of the Valley LLC feel will be informative to our partners. We are grateful to you for your support as we serve vulnerable members of our community.

Having worked in various fields of mental health and developmental disability, I have come to understand that we operate in a world that has both a technical and an emotional side in serving our members. There is a tendency to see the operative aspect of the work and ignore the emotional side of it, and vice versa. We at Inspiration of the Valley LLC attempt to balance the two.

We have to ensure that our members have a good home to live in, that they are healthy, and that they have access to all the physical needs that make their lives as satisfying as can be. In addition, we ensure that they have intellectual and social activities in which they are constantly engaged. As much as we do our best to mobilize the physical resources to achieve their goals, we also want to be sure that they are emotionally satisfied and happy in their everyday life. Friends and family play a vital part in this. This is why we encourage our providers to allow members to connect with family as much as possible through regularly scheduled visits and other media interactions. We encourage our members to attend social and educational activities daily in order to enhance their social networks. Day programs, sheltered employment programs, and educational activities are a vital and integral part of our members' lives because they provide the opportunity to enrich our members' lives. Unfortunately, and quite necessarily so for now, we have to abide by the temporary restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

We also ensure that all therapy needs are requested and covered through their state support coordinators. We are grateful to the Division of Developmental Disabilities, the State of Arizona, and AHCCCS for the partnership that we have with them as a Qualified Vendor that makes these provisions possible. It is my belief that the State of Arizona is one of the leaders among our 50 states in providing an environment where our vulnerable population is served with an outstanding degree of excellence. Thanks to our governor, DES, and the DDD directorate, who continue to provide exceptional guidance to providers and vendors.

We at Inspiration of the Valley cherish the relationships that we have with our partners, who also include the District Networks and Support Coordinators, without whom this work would be impossible to achieve.

Our commitment today

That commitment still guides us. Today, in addition to DDD services, Inspiration of the Valley provides non-medical home care for seniors and adults, so we can serve even more Arizona families with the same balance of practical support and genuine care.
