Hello,

Can anyone tell me if there are respite beds for patients who are homeless that they can be referred to when discharging them onto the street is medically unsafe? I am aware of the beds at Nativity House, but am wondering if there are other options where a patient will not have to leave during the day and get some level of medical support.

Thank you,

Melissa
