Recuperative Care in Vacaville, CA

Medical respite with oversight for post-hospital recovery in Solano County

Hammock Homes provides CalAIM-funded recuperative care in Vacaville, CA for Medi-Cal members who are medically stable for discharge but cannot safely recover in their current living situation. Our staffed medical respite residences bridge the gap between hospital discharge and independent living — giving Partnership HealthPlan members the monitoring, case management, and stability that recovery from serious illness demands.

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 Vacaville 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
Our recuperative care program is designed for participants with complex medical needs following hospitalization — post-surgical recovery, chronic condition stabilization, wound care, medication management, and mobility assistance. For participants whose primary need is substance-free recovery housing without ongoing medical oversight, see our Sober Living in Vacaville, CA program
