A Framework for Medical Respite Care (2023). Resource Type: Publication. Description: Medical respite care is defined as acute and post-acute care for people experiencing homelessness who are too ill or frail to recover from a physical illness or injury on the streets or in shelter, but who are not ill enough to be in a hospital.
