Those who self-refer will need to have medical documentation of their current health condition - if they do not have this documentation, they must sign a release of information form so that the discharging facility can share that information. Individuals and medical professionals can call Joseph & Mary's Home directly for information and guidance on the intake process M-F: 8:00am-4:30pm, however, Coordinated Intake at Bishop William Cosgrove will need to be involved before this shelter can be accessed.
