Medical Respite Care

Public Statement on Recent Purchase of 1660 3^rd Street in Lincoln

August 23, 2024
‍
The Gathering Inn (TGI) plans to open a medical respite program at 1660 3^rd Street in Lincoln, California, which will contribute to reducing homelessness and the strain on our local healthcare and social service systems. The Gathering Inn was required by the seller's terms to keep the real estate activities confidential until close of escrow, which happened on August 13, 2024.
‍
Medical respite services help ill or injured unhoused patients recover after hospital discharge under medical supervision. In this controlled setting, they also receive support services to transition to stable housing.
‍
Patients in the Medical Respite Program are typically senior citizens. They must be referred by a hospital, and no walk-in, sex offenders or self-referrals are accepted. This is not a shelter or a drop-in day program. Until earlier this year, the building was an assisted living facility. The primarily elderly patients served by the Medical Respite Program will be inside the building or its internal courtyard, and no visitors will be allowed.
‍
We understand and respect the confusion and concern that surrounds a private deal. Now that we have the freedom to do so, we will make every effort to listen to, and engage with, nearby residents, businesses, and City of Lincoln officials.
‍
More information about the Medical Respite Program is available on the Frequently Asked Questions page found on our website.
