People experiencing homelessness face disproportionate health challenges, including higher rates of chronic illness, longer hospital stays, and limited access to post-acute care. Recuperative care —also known as medical respite care—is gaining national attention as a critical service for individuals experiencing homelessness who are too ill to recover on the streets but not ill enough to remain hospitalized.
In a new webinar, Manatt Health and the National Institute for Medical Respite Care (NIMRC) will provide a foundational overview of recuperative care and how it can be financed. They will be joined by Illumination Foundation, one of California’s leading recuperative care providers, who will discuss their delivery model and the successes and challenges they have experienced to date scaling their program operations.
