The Coalition’s Respite Care program serves homeless persons who have no place to recover after they have been discharged from the hospital. In addition to providing daily visits from nursing staff, patients benefit from a safe, secure, restful environment where they can access supportive services such as housing assistance and treatment programs.
A total of 35 beds are available for Respite Care at three locations: Beacon Place, the Samaritan House and The Crossing at Denver Rescue Mission.
In 2010, the Coalition provided post-hospitalization respite care for 312 homeless individuals.
