Arizona DDD providers with a home base in Phoenix
Phoenix is where Inspiration of the Valley began. Joseph and Daisy Kativu founded the agency in 2007, and we have been contracted with Arizona DES/DDD since 2008. Our office on West Peoria Avenue is home to the local team behind these services. Call (623) 696-0376 to arrange a time, and we will be glad to answer your questions and introduce you to the people who will work with your family.
We support children, teens, and adults across Phoenix, including Downtown Phoenix, Midtown, Encanto, and North Phoenix. Whether your family has just received an eligibility letter or your loved one has been a DDD member for years, you are welcome to start with a simple conversation. Call us and tell us a little about the person you care for.
The full range of DDD services in one place
Some families come to us for one service. Others want help understanding how several fit together. In Phoenix we provide:
- Attendant care for help with personal care, meals, and household routines
- Habilitation for learning and practicing everyday skills
- Respite for parents and primary caregivers
- Adult Developmental Homes for adults 18 and older
- The DDD family caregiver program for qualified relatives
Having these under one agency means your family can talk with one team as needs change. A child who receives respite today may later work on habilitation goals, and an adult may one day explore a family-home setting.
Attendant care and habilitation in everyday Phoenix life
Attendant care is practical, hands-on help. Staff can assist with bathing, grooming, dressing, toileting, preparing meals, and keeping the home running, so your loved one is comfortable and your household has more breathing room.
Habilitation focuses on learning. Staff teach a skill in small, manageable steps, such as brushing teeth, choosing clothes, making a simple snack, or finding items at the grocery store, and practice it in real situations. Support can happen at home and in the community, for example on a walk through Encanto Park. Goals come from the person and their authorized plan. Our guide to attendant care vs. habilitation explains the difference in more detail.
Respite for Phoenix parents and caregivers
Caring for someone you love is meaningful work, and everyone needs time to rest. Respite lets a parent or primary caregiver step away for work, errands, sleep, or time with other children, while a staff member who knows your loved one's routine keeps the day steady. Respite hours follow the member's authorized plan.
Adult Developmental Homes and paid family caregiving
For adults 18 and older, Adult Developmental Homes offer life in a licensed family home with 24-hour care and supervision, help building skills, and support for behavioral, emotional, and physical needs. If your family is considering this option, we can explain how it works and coordinate with the member's Support Coordinator on placement.
If you already provide much of your loved one's care, our DDD family caregiver program lets qualified relatives be hired to provide authorized services. Our office walks you through hiring, training, and paperwork.
Working with your Support Coordinator
Every DDD member has a Support Coordinator who helps build the plan and authorize services. We see ourselves as part of that team. We share what we learn about your loved one's routines and goals, and we keep the plan at the center of the support we provide. Curious about the coordinator's role?
