The hospital is discharging you. You just had surgery. Or a heart attack. Or pneumonia. You need rest. You need to recover. You need to take medications and change bandages.

But you're homeless. You live in your car. Or on the street. Or in a tent. The hospital knows this. They're discharging you anyway.

Here's the truth: Homeless people discharged from hospitals are readmitted within 30 days 40% of the time. Because you can't recover on the street. And people who try to recover while homeless are 5 times more likely to die.

You don't have to recover on the street.

People in Modesto, Stockton, and Merced are recovering safely right now instead of on the street. You could too.

Here's What Happens If You Try to Recover on the Street

You already know. Your wound gets infected. You don't take your medications right. You can't rest. You get worse. You end up back in the hospital. Or you die.

Homeless people recovering from illness have 3 times higher death rates than housed people. Because the street is not a place to heal.

Don't let that happen.

Here's What to Say (So You Qualify)

How you describe your situation matters. Never lie. But frame it right.

❌ DON'T say: "I just got out of the hospital." ✅ DO say: "I'm homeless and was just discharged from the hospital. I need recuperative care to recover safely and prevent readmission."

❌ DON'T say: "I'm not feeling great." ✅ DO say: "I have acute medical needs requiring nursing care and monitoring. Without recuperative care, I'm at risk of complications, readmission, or death."

❌ DON'T say: "I need somewhere to stay while I get better." ✅ DO say: "I'm experiencing homelessness with serious health conditions. I need medical respite to recover and avoid hospitalization."

The difference? One meets criteria. One doesn't. Both are true. Frame it right.

Is This Really Free?

Yes. Completely free.

If you have Medi-Cal and you're homeless with medical needs, recuperative care is covered. Your health plan pays for it.

No co-pay. No bills. No fees. Food and medical care included.

Even if you own a car (you're living in), you still qualify. Medi-Cal doesn't count that anymore.

The only "catch" is you have to have medical needs. You can't just be homeless—you need to be recovering from illness or injury.

This Could Save Your Life

Imagine this: You wake up tomorrow in a real bed. Not the street. Not your car. A nurse comes to check your wound. They give you your medications. Someone brings you breakfast. You rest. You heal.

Six months later, you're recovered. And the case manager helped you get permanent housing. You're not homeless anymore. You didn't die on the street.

That's what this does. Free. Right here in Modesto, Stockton, and Merced.

You'd be crazy to try to recover on the street when free medical housing exists.

Click here and get started. Two minutes. That's it.

Who Gets Recuperative Care?

If you have Medi-Cal and any of this sounds like you:

✓ You just left the hospital but you're homeless ✓ You have wounds, injuries, or illness that need medical monitoring ✓ You're too sick to be on the street but not sick enough for the hospital ✓ You're leaving jail with medical needs ✓ You need nursing care to recover ✓ You're at risk of readmission without safe housing

Then you probably qualify.

Real examples from the Central Valley:

• A man in Modesto recovered from heart surgery in recuperative care for 4 months—got permanent housing after

• A woman in Stockton with COPD got 6 months of medical respite—breathing better, housed now

• A veteran in Merced leaving jail with diabetes got recuperative care—controlled his condition, avoided ER
