Mission Statement
MISSION The mission of the Center for Respite Care is to provide quality, holistic medical care to homeless people who need a safe place to heal, while assisting them in breaking the cycle of homelessness.
About This Cause
From Medical Recovery to Independence: The Center for Respite Care is a 24/7, 20 bed medical facility providing services to individuals over the age of 18 who are experiencing homelessness in the Greater Cincinnati area and have been discharged from the hospital or other institutions, are acutely ill and suffer from other chronic issues including mental health and substance abuse issues. Staff addresses the clients’ pressing medical needs including medical evaluations, limited lab tests, medication administration, nursing care, health education, and the coordination of medical, substance abuse and mental health services. Individuals have access to extended care following surgeries and other major medical procedures. In addition to addressing the medical needs of the individuals, we also provide a bed, three healthy meals each day, showers, laundry facilities, transportation to outside appointments, coaching on meal preparation and activities of daily living, and clothing as needed. However, it is not just about their physical recovery. Our case managers engage in a collaborative process with the medical team, the just-admitted homeless individual, as well as external agencies as they plan, facilitate, coordinate and evaluate an on-going case plan. The case management piece is so very critical and is the “go-between” with medical recovery and the primary, case-plan goal of permanent, stable placement. The staff bridges the gap and makes sure that once someone is discharged, they have what they need for self-sufficiency, independence, and a place to call home – a direct tie-back to our mission.
