Chronic Care Support During a Transitional Stay: Resources and Guidance for Managing Your Health

Managing a chronic condition without a stable home base is difficult and can result in several missed appointments, interrupted medications, and limited access to consistent care.  


Explore the Economy Hotel practical guide to local chronic care resources and support programs available for anyone living in transitional or extended stay hotels.



What Are Chronic Care Solutions and Who Can Access Them?

Chronic care patient support differs significantly in a community setting. Federally qualified health centers, sliding-scale clinics, telehealth support, and chronic disease management programs are available for uninsured or underinsured patients. These resources exist specifically for people without consistent access to primary care. Although the resources differ from traditional hospital care, there are alternative options available to those in need.



Local Chronic Care Resources: Finding Consistent Care Near You

Chronic condition care and support can be found at community health centers, disease-specific nonprofits, and patient advocacy organizations that provide support regardless of insurance or address. Resources vary by state, but there are national programs that expand across the US.

Managing a Chronic Condition From a Hotel or Motel Stay

Living with a chronic condition while in a non-traditional housing situation can be complicated. There are several strategies to help stay on top of medications, including telehealth programs.


Telehealth is a tool that makes it easier to maintain regular chronic care. It keeps medical records accessible and helps you communicate your needs to care providers when address stability is limited.


Instead of visiting your provider in person, you can schedule virtual appointments. Use the amenities provided at an extended stay hotel to communicate with your provider. A transitional hotel stay at an Economy Hotel location will simplify the process for someone actively navigating this challenge.
