A hospital stay can end before recovery does. Some patients are well enough to be discharged but still need wound care, medication management, or simply a safe place to rest — support an empty apartment, a shelter, or the street can't provide. Without that next safe step, recovery stalls and the risk of returning to the emergency room goes up. Our Medical Respite Program exists to close that gap.
