Recuperative care center

Too sick for the street. Not sick enough for the hospital.

Nurse caring for a resting patient

30%

Florida's hospital re-admittance rate for unhoused patients — longer healing and a heavy cost for everyone.

Medical respite is short-term residential care that lets people experiencing homelessness rest in a clean, safe environment while accessing medical care and support.

Florida law prohibits hospitals from discharging patients to "homeless." We coordinate with area hospitals and agencies to give clients safe shelter for the recovery time they need.
