OUR CORE VALUES

• Inspire Continuing Care believes in the inherent value of every individual 

“For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb.

I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made.

Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well.

My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret,

intricately woven in the depths of the earth.

Your eyes saw my unformed substance; 

in your book were written, every one of them,

the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.” 

Psalm 139:13-16
