Center for Respite Care Annual Report: 2015-16

According to Merriam-Webster, the definition of “impact” is a powerful or major influence or effect. The Center had a trifecta in terms of impact: 1) 117 homeless adults received care in our medical recovery center – had they not been referred to us by the local hospitals, they would have recovered under a bridge or on a park bench, 2) the board of directors approved a relocation to OTR, and 3) we secured our first transformational gift, which allowed us to start an endowment.

It is our pleasure to share some details about our 117 clients and how they transitioned to self-sufficiency. The Center had a positive impact on 117 homeless adults from 4/1/2015 – 3/31/2016. It is no secret that military veterans experience homelessness. Fourteen of our clients were veterans and we were honored to support these wonderful men and women. Dr. Robert Donovan* and his nursing team were able to discharge our clients within an average of 31 days. This means that their transition to self-sufficiency was faster than the prior year.

Board and staff set a goal of 80% occupancy rate. The final result was 70.06%, taking into account that we do not mix genders in the bedrooms. This result underscores the need to relocate to the St. Anthony Center. We are especially pleased to share that 76% of our clients moved to an environment suited for their individual specific need, which accelerated their self-sufficiency.

We are in the business of helping homeless adults heal after an emergency room visit or hospital stay. However, we cannot do it without staff, collaborative partners, churches, civic groups, volunteers, and our financial supporters. Last year, 376 selfless volunteers gave of their time (4,078 hours) and talent to help our clients feel whole.

Thank you for being the “turning point” for 2017.
