Get the Help You Need

Helping Central Florida’s vulnerable homeless population of men and women, many of whom are veterans, in need of a safe place to heal from serious illness or injury.

Who We Are & What We Do

We measure success in smiles and there have been miles and miles.

Pathways to Care (PTC) is a not-for-profit, licensed Assisted Living Facility, which provides medical respite to people experiencing homelessness. Opening in 2003, PTC serves as a post-hospital resource for patients without a safe place to heal from injury, illness, or another medical setback. Our 34-bed program is an excellent discharge solution for health care providers. We provide services to approximately 200 residents annually.

We collaborate with and accept referrals from multiple hospital systems throughout Central Florida, Veteran’s Administration, Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS network (HOPWA), faith-based organizations, local governments, social service agencies and other medical professionals. In 2015, we expanded our services to include a transitional housing program that promotes independence called Pathways Step2.

Our Services

Pathways to Care Assisted Living (ALF)

Medication Management

Pathways to Care Assisted Living reinforces the doctor-prescribed medication regimen. We develop with the resident a personalized accurate medication schedule. We provide safe storage and handling of medications. During their stay, we assist residents with medication refills as one of our key objectives.

Staffed 24/7 for Resident Safety and Well Being

All Pathways to Care staff are certified in First Aid and CPR. Our facility is staffed 24/7 including weekends and holidays.

Connect With Community Medical Resources

One of our main objectives at Pathways to Care is to connect our residents with primary and specialty care providers. Our goal is for residents to establish a medical home in the community that they continue with even after their successful discharge from our program. We partner with local pharmaceutical resources who provide affordable prescription and medical supply options to our residents. Our clinical services staff assist residents with appointment setting, patient-doctor dialogue, and advocacy.

Transportation

Our clinical services staff arrange transportation for residents to and from medical appointments. Transportation options include use of our in-house vehicles, insurance covered transportation, or door-to-door public transportation for disabled and medically compromised individuals. We have a dedicated driver and our facility vehicles can accommodate manual wheelchairs and walkers.

Accommodate Home Health Service Providers

These Home Health Services may include skilled nursing care, such as ostomy, catheter and wound care, and health education.

Residents staying in our facility are provided with registered dietitian-approved meals three (3) times each day. A variety of fruits and vegetables are available daily. While staying at our facility, residents are encouraged to manage dietary requirements and restrictions.
