Safety. Compassion. Recovery.
COTS Recuperative Care is a short-term, residential program that provides individuals experiencing homelessness a safe, welcoming place to heal from illness, injury, or surgery. With onsite health care coordination and intensive case management, COTS Recuperative Care focuses on health stabilization, promoting client self-sufficiency, and supporting our clients’ health and housing goals.
Why is Recuperative Care Important?
Effective recuperative care reduces dependence on emergency rooms and law enforcement, reduces hospital readmissions, and provides more opportunities for people experiencing homelessness to get connected with supportive services and secure permanent housing. One night in Recuperative Care costs $208—a massive savings compared to an inpatient night in the hospital or nursing facility.
After Recuperative Care, 85% of clients transfer to shelter, care facility, or housing
COTS has served 226 clients in Recuperative Care since 2020
