Cost Saving

Individuals experiencing homelessness use hospitals at a much higher rate than people with homes.  The average length of a hospital stay is 4.6 days, but the average individual without a home stays twice as long. Without a place to recover, many end up back in the emergency room within 30 days. Recuperative care can help offset the financial impact to hospitals and reduce hospital re-admissions by as much as half. Given the average cost of $3,300 per day for a hospital stay, compared to the average $250 per night for recuperative care, the savings quickly add up.

Effectiveness

Recuperative care helps break the cycle of repeated hospitalizations of individuals experiencing homelessness by allowing them to properly heal after a hospital stay, and access housing and other supportive services necessary to remain healthy.

Benefits

Approximately 75% of clients entering recuperative care are not listed in government social services’ databases. While in recuperative care, these individuals’ information is entered into the county’s Coordinated Entry System (CES), which can help them better access housing resources and social services, including mental health, primary care, rehabilitation and other community resources.
