Harborview's Medical Respite Program (Edward Thomas House Medical Respite) is a unique harm reduction program that provides recuperative care to people experiencing homelessness who are too sick to return to the shelter or streets, but do not require a hospital level of care. Our team uses a harm reduction philosophy to work together with the patient to resolve medical problems; assess and treat patients for mental illness and/or substance use; and connect patients to primary care, public funding and housing. The Medical Respite care team is comprised of our medical director, psychiatric and medical nurse practitioners, registered nurses, medical assistants, mental health practitioners (respite case managers) and mental health specialists. The Respite Program is a collaborative project between Health Care for the Homeless Network (HCHN) and Harborview Medical Center with the financial support of several local hospitals and managed care organizations. The program facility is located on the 7th floor of Jefferson Terrace, 800 Jefferson St, on First Hill in Seattle. Jefferson Terrace is a residential high rise owned by the Seattle Housing Authority. Respite provides admitted patients with 24/7 shelter, medical care, and support. Respite nurses are on site from 7am until 1130pm with nurse practitioners on site every day of the week. Mental health case managers are available Monday to Friday. Mental health specialists provide milieu management throughout the day and night to help provide a safe and quiet environment for clients around the clock.
