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 Fairfield 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 Fairfield program supports participants with post-surgical recovery needs, wound care and dressing changes, mobility assistance, chronic condition stabilization (including diabetes, hypertension, COPD, and CHF), and complex medication management. We coordinate closely with primary care providers and specialists throughout the stay.
Skilled nursing facilities (SNFs) provide intensive, licensed clinical care for individuals who require continuous medical intervention. Recuperative care is appropriate for participants who are medically stable but need a supervised, structured environment with monitoring — not full skilled nursing oversight. Recuperative care under CalAIM is often the right fit for individuals with housing barriers who would otherwise remain hospitalized or face rapid readmission.
Typical stays range from 30 to 90 days. Extensions are evaluated based on individual clinical progress, continuing medical need, and CalAIM authorization guidelines. Case managers work toward stable, long-term housing throughout the stay.
Our case management team works with each participant from day one to identify a stable housing placement before discharge from recuperative care. This may include permanent supportive housing, sober living, or a return to independent living — depending on the participant’s goals, clinical status, and available resources. Referring partners receive updates throughout and are included in discharge planning.
