Why families choose us

The Inspirational Care difference.

🤝

Person-centered, always

Care follows your loved one's own choices, routines, and goals — not a one-size-fits-all checklist.

📍

Local & owner-run

A Region 8 agency with offices in Monroe and Ruston. When you call, you reach people who know your community.

🌙

Someone's always awake

Care doesn't keep business hours. Our 24-hour on-call line means help is a phone call away, any time.

🛡️

Trained & accountable

Background checks, ongoing training, and supervisor visits keep the care safe and the trust earned.

We treat every client the way we'd want our own family treated — with dignity, patience, and a whole lot of heart.

— The Inspirational Care promise
How care begins

Getting started is simpler than it looks.

Most home care is paid by Louisiana Medicaid. Whether you're just beginning or already approved, here is the path — and we're glad to help you find your way at any step.

1

See if you qualify

Louisiana Medicaid home care begins with the state reviewing eligibility and needs. New to this? We'll help you find the right office to call.

2

Get assessed & approved

The state — or your support coordinator — reviews your needs, sets your level of care, and approves a service and plan of care.

3

Choose a provider

Once you're approved, you're given a list of enrolled providers and you choose the one that's right for you on a Freedom of Choice form. The choice is always yours.

4

Care begins at home

Your chosen provider finalizes the plan, matches a caregiver, and care starts — right where you live.

Inspirational Care is an enrolled provider across the programs listed above, so you'll find us on the list. Questions at any step? Call (318) 654-7641 — no pressure, just help.
