“Medical Respite is a partnership between Community Forward SF and the San Francisco Department of Public Health (DPH). Together we provide respite beds and sobering facilities, along with temporary housing and specialized support services, for medically frail people impacted by homelessness.
This facility reduces the number of emergency room visits its patients make, along with their contact with police and EMS personnel, thus saving substantial city costs, and helps connect its patients with longer term support services as they heal. Beds at Medical Respite and Sobering cost less than 10% of hospital beds per night, which average $3,000 per night.”
The Medical Respite and Sobering Center is a partnership between CATS and the San Francisco Department of Public Health (DPH) which provides medical respite beds and temporary housing with medically oriented support services for medically frail, homeless persons leaving San Francisco General Hospital or other neighboring clinics.
