Care Navigation in Brandon

Care Navigation. Nurse-led. Doctor-supported.

Nurse-led coordination across physicians, specialists, WRHA Home Care, insurance, and community resources — so families stop playing case manager for a system that does not talk to itself.

Care planning in Brandon: Brandon care planning can connect a Brandon Regional Health Centre discharge or specialist appointment with continuous care, foot care, respite, post-surgery support, nursing, or transportation at home.

A plan for the person, the home, and the schedule

How the service fits

Care navigation can organize referrals, discharge planning, equipment, public Home Care applications, Self and Family Managed Care, insurance, and the handoff between family and paid care.

Hospital and appointment handoff

If care follows a stay or appointment at Brandon Regional Health Centre, share the discharge date, written instructions, medication changes, mobility limits, equipment needs, and follow-up schedule. Prime provides discharge planning, hospital-to-home transportation, appointment escorts, nursing, and post-surgery support.

Home and scheduling details

The nurse assessment should review entrances, stairs, bathroom access, transfer needs, medication storage, winter access, and whether equipment or an awake overnight shift is required. For service outside Winnipeg, confirm the exact address, proposed hours, travel arrangements, minimum shift structure, overnight needs, and backup plan before care begins.
