Overview of The Inn Between

The Inn Between is a Type II assisted living community with an active license until June 2027 in Salt Lake City, Utah, providing medical respite and end-of-life hospice care for adults experiencing homelessness. Operating since June 2018, this 30-bed community aims to address a critical gap in the local care continuum. In 2025, the community also received the One Kind Act a Day Award in recognition of its commitment to compassionate service and community impact.

The community has undergone four inspections under the Utah Department of Health and Human Services, with the most recent routine inspection on July 17, 2025, identifying a single deficiency related to employee training, which is well below the statewide average of 14. Earlier inspections also reflected strong compliance, with only minor documentation or training-related findings. However, there are no records of fines, immediate jeopardy findings, or complaint investigations, indicating a consistent level of regulatory compliance.

Hospice services, medical respite care, and end-of-life support are all delivered by licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants with 24-hour staffing, while additional services include rehabilitation support and a respite care program. A strong volunteer presence is also a defining aspect of daily life, reflecting deep connections to local organizations and community support systems. The focused care model also enables staff to develop specialized expertise in serving adults with complex medical and social needs.

The Inn Between is designed specifically for adults experiencing homelessness who require hospice or medical respite care in a structured and supportive setting.

Does Utah Medicaid cover assisted living?

Utah Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Utah) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
