What is Medical Respite Care?
“Medical respite care is acute and post-acute medical care for homeless persons who are too ill or frail to recover from a physical illness or injury on the streets but are not ill enough to be in a hospital.” National Healthcare for the Homeless Council
Lots of respite info and a short video:http://www.nhchc.org/resources/clinical/medical-respite/
![Page 9: Care Transitions for the Homeless July 23, 2014](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022070401/56813679550346895d9e0712/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Medical respite is valuable
• Respite programs are an important part of the homeless service continuum.
• Respite care is an effective intervention, offering recovery from illness or injury as well as connections to housing, primary health care, disability benefits, treatment, and supportive services.
• Medical respite programs are cost effective.

Community Provider Meetings

shelters, hospitals, clinics, outreach programs, drop-in centers, and metro counties.

Project Partners agreed to answer the following questions as a way to address costs as well as service provisions:
Can a hospital identify its highest cost patients who also have long histories of homelessness?
Can a health care system and a supportive housing organization partner to create an intervention that links care management and supportive housing?
Would such an intervention lead to better care and reductions in hospital admissions, length of stay and emergency department visits?
Is there a way to re-invest savings into supportive housing interventions for this population?
