Our Recuperative Care Model
Recuperative care — also called medical respite — is a level of care that sits between hospital discharge and fully independent living. It is more than housing and less than skilled nursing: a staffed recovery environment where participants receive the medical oversight, case management, and daily support that makes safe discharge possible for people who cannot recover safely on their own.
At Hammock Homes, this means direct communication with referring partners throughout the placement — consistent updates, prompt response to clinical questions, and clear documentation of each participant’s progress toward discharge readiness.
Each participant in our Vallejo recuperative care program receives:
- A staffed recovery environment with daily oversight and health assessments
- Medical care coordination, including medication management and specialist referrals
- Case management to support benefits enrollment and discharge planning

We support participants with post-surgical recovery needs, wound care and dressing changes, mobility assistance, chronic condition stabilization, and complex medication management. Our staff coordinate with treating physicians throughout the stay.
A skilled nursing facility (SNF) provides intensive, around-the-clock skilled nursing and rehabilitation services — typically for medically acute conditions requiring licensed clinical staff on-site at all times. Recuperative care (medical respite) provides a monitored recovery environment with oversight, case management, and daily health assessments for participants who are medically stable enough for discharge but cannot safely recover without support. It is less resource-intensive than a SNF and appropriate for a broader range of discharge situations.
Typical stays range from 30 to 90 days. Length of stay is determined by medical necessity and reviewed within CalAIM authorization guidelines. Extensions are evaluated based on clinical documentation and individual recovery progress.
Our case management team works with each participant and their referring partner throughout the stay to plan for a stable discharge destination. This includes active housing navigation, benefits enrollment, and warm handoffs to primary care, behavioral health, or the next appropriate level of care — depending on the participant’s needs and goals at discharge.
