What is Medical Respite?
A space for patients experiencing homelessness to recover from illness or injury, such as a surgery, broken bone, or anything that requires ongoing wound care. Medical respite care prevents unnecessary hospitalizations and can stop a condition from worsening.
Respite patients may stay for up to 60 days and care providers will work on discharging patients into supportive housing. Respite patients will have access to other supportive services at Gateway.
