Yes! If you are unable to complete the application online, just send us a message through the Contact form on this website. Include your phone number, and one of our volunteers will contact you and complete an application on your behalf.
Anyone in the patient's party with a working email address can fill out the application for the visit. It does not need to be the patient, but it does need to be someone with direct access to the patient who can provide information on the patient's behalf. That person will need to be able to provide information about the patient, caregiver, and any other people planning to stay in the apartment. If no one associated with the patient has an email address, send us a message through the Contact form including your phone number, and one of our volunteers will contact you to set up an application for you.
No. The online application is designed to take information directly from patients and their caregivers, not third parties who might need to use it for more than one patient at a time. The system wasn’t designed for an individual user to have more than one active application at a time.
While it’s usually better if a patient or their caregiver sets up the account, we realize that sometimes that’s not possible. If you want to help patients with the process, it would be better to contact a volunteer, who can set up an application for them in the system. Please send us a message through the Contact form including your phone number, and a volunteer will contact you.
One of our assurances is that we never make someone leave an apartment mid-treatment. If your treatment is extended, you can stay until it's completed. The uncertainty of tenants' medical progress means we often don't know for sure when an apartment will be vacated.
As soon as we do have a confirmed move-out date, we review the list of applicants. We look for applicants whose date of need is within a week of the move-out date, and we prioritize applicants with longer stay requirements.
If you are within a week of your date of need—or if your date of need has passed—and you haven't gotten a placement call from us, it means we just don't have an apartment available. We wish we had the ability to call every applicant and let you know, but unfortunately we do not.
IF YOUR DATE OF NEED CHANGES, please update it in your application! While your application is active, you'll get a weekly email from us. You DO NOT need to reply to the email, but you can use the link in the email to log in to your application and make any changes you need to make.
We use your email address to create a secure login ID for your application. This helps ensure (a) that we know we're talking to a real person, and (b) that the information you share with us will remain safe and secure. We do not share your email address with anyone outside this organization or use it for any anything that isn't related to your application with InSpirit Patient Housing.
No. Our system will send an email to the address you enter. There is a link in the email to confirm that you received it. If you can't click the link, then you won't be able to finish the application. Someone who does have an email address can complete the application with you, or on your behalf. You can also send us a note using the Contact form on this website. Include your phone number, and one of our volunteers will call you back and complete the application for you on the phone.
Our placement process does not involve credit checks. Some of the apartment complexes that we partner with do require a basic background check. These are processed confidentially and are only seen by the church that is handling the placement.
All apartments are required to have at least one person in addition to the patient. Medical treatment is tiring, and the patient will need someone to help with transportation, meals, laundry, and other daily concerns.
Yes, if there is no one else available to serve as the caregiver. In that case, we would ask the patient or someone else of legal age to be responsible for the rental arrangements.
Some of the apartments can accommodate two or three people in addition to the patient and caregiver. We do our best to tailor your offer to meet your needs.
Unfortunately, no. Many of our residents are immune-compromised and we have to keep the apartments as clean as possible for them. For this reason, no animals of any kind can be allowed in the apartments. This applies to service animals and emotional support animals as well as pets.
All apartments are non-smoking.
It depends on the apartment. All apartments have Internet access, along with cable TV. You can ask the volunteer who contacts you about placement about specifics.
It depends on the apartment. The volunteer who contacts you about placement will be happy to answer questions about the specific amenities of the unit they have for you.
Public areas of the apartment complexes are ADA-compliant, meaning they have wheelchair access to the apartments. The apartments themselves are standard apartments, meaning their interior is not specially designed for wheelchair use.
It depends. Most of the apartments have carpet in the living area and bedrooms and vinyl or tile in the kitchen and bathrooms. Each apartment is slightly different. The volunteer who calls about your placement can answer questions about the specific unit they have for you.
It depends on the apartment. However, the apartments are not "efficiency" units. All apartments have one or two full-size bedrooms. Living areas can comfortably accommodate everyone in the apartment, with at least one full-size couch and other seating. All kitchens include full-size appliances and a nearby breakfast/dining area. Please ask the volunteer who contacts you about placement for more details.
All apartment complexes include free parking for residents and limited additional parking for guests. The volunteer who contacts you about placement can give you more specific information.
No, the apartment complexes include other residents. Many of them work in or near the Medical Center.
No. The apartments are in several complexes in the vicinity of the Medical Center.
Yes. The statement will come from the church that collects your rent. The church volunteer that assists you with your placement can explain how you can request this.
All of our member churches accept checks and cash. Most also have a way to accept credit cards. This could involve an additional fee (usually about 3%) to cover credit card processing charges. The volunteer who calls you about your placement can provide more information about the specific way their church handles this.
This information is strictly optional. It can help us find a placement close your care facility. We can also follow up with your social worker so that they can give you information about traveling to and from the Medical Center.
If anyone in your group has mobility issues, please indicate that on the application. Many of the apartments are on the first floor or located in buildings with elevators or drive-up floor access. We will do our best to meet your needs.
To meet leasing requirements of the apartment complexes, most churches require a minimum stay of two weeks.
