Care Navigation in Charleswood

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 Charleswood: Care in Charleswood may require extra attention to entrances, longer driveways, stairs, and travel between home and Grace or Victoria General. An in-home assessment helps match mobility, foot care, nursing, respite, or appointment support to the property and routine.

How this service connects to local care

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 Grace Hospital, 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 or elevators, bathroom access, safe transfers, medication storage, caregiver access, parking, and whether overnight support is required. Confirm preferred visit times, appointment dates, family handoffs, language preferences, and whether overnight care means an awake shift or a live-in arrangement.
