Homespire is an Intermountain Healthcare company that is a partnership between Intermountain and Lifesprk. It uses Lifesprk’s proven whole person senior care approach for Life Care to spark the lives of seniors – people in the second half of life – by helping them refocus their energies away from health issues towards their purpose and passion so they can live healthier and happier lives. Through our Homespire Experience™, we deliver whole person senior care that dramatically reduces ER visits by 52% and hospital visits 73%. As a premium home care provider, we’re simply the best in the industry at providing short and long-term care when a senior needs it most.

For over two decades, our leaders have been award-winning pioneers and innovators in the home care industry. At Homespire, we put everything we have – our people, passion and purpose – into delivering state-of-the-art solutions that improve quality of life for seniors.

Seniors experience other life challenges beyond the physical ones. When left unchecked, they too, can lead to frequent ER visits and hospitalization. That’s why Intermountain Healthcare partnered with Lifesprk to bring their innovative model to Utah. The Homespire Experience™ – a whole person senior care solution – is personalized to address the uniqueness of each individual. This proprietary approach is transforming the industry with unparalleled results. That translates into significantly lower long-term costs for clients and the system. Plus, Lifesprk has one of the highest client satisfaction and team retention ratings in the industry.

We go beyond other home care providers to deliver a different experience – one that’s person-centered and embraces the 7 elements of wellbeing. We create a Life Plan based on your priorities and how much help you want with your Life Plan. Then we work to remove distractions that get in the way of living with more purpose, passion and joy. The end result: you shine . . . and so does everyone around you.

And as an Intermountain Healthcare company, we can help you coordinate and integrate any Intermountain service as well as other community resources into your Life Plan for a seamless experience of care.

Life is what you make of it. That’s why Homespire has made it our mission to help seniors make the most of theirs. Homespire is for those who choose to stay in control, demand the very best care and advocacy, and refuse to retire on life.

Our Homespire Experience model is designed to listen and discover what is most important to you holistically, and deliver on your goals. When we build a trusted partnership with you and your family, we’re able to bring out your passion and spirit – something we call living a “sparked life.”

We’ve seen too many people in the second half of life on a roller coaster of health crises that robs them of control, opportunities and independence. That robs us of their wisdom, laughter and presence. That’s just not acceptable, and we’ve made it our passion to change that experience. Homespire is about opportunities. We start with where you are and with what is most meaningful to you. Our proprietary Homespire Experience™ provides proactive guidance to give you just the right level of support to SHINE the way you want according to YOUR goals. That’s the spark!

People turn to us for many reasons – you may want to connect more with family or find a volunteer opportunity; you may be in the midst of health care crisis or looking to rekindle your favorite hobby; you may be wondering what’s next with your life or career; you may be looking for more meaning, or just want to proactively protect your lifestyle. Whatever the reason, the result is the same. You SHINE, just the way you want. And we all win! That’s living a sparked life.
