What is Medical Respite Care?

Medical respite care is a short-term, non-institutional service that provides medical and supportive care to individuals experiencing homelessness who are too ill or frail to recover from illness or injury on the streets, but not sick enough to require hospitalization or skilled nursing facility care. It offers a safe and supportive environment where individuals can receive the necessary medical care and support to recuperate.


Medical respite care plays a crucial role in addressing the complex healthcare needs of homeless individuals and reducing the length of hospital stays. It offers a compassionate and cost-effective solution for those who are experiencing homelessness and require medical care and support.
