Alzheimer's & Dementia Care in Fort Richmond

Alzheimer's & Dementia Care. Nurse-led. Doctor-supported.

Caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's or another dementia at home is rewarding and exhausting in the same breath. As the condition progresses, needs shift — and so must the approach. Our nurse-led team provides person-centered support that honours who your parent is, not just what they've been diagnosed with.

Care planning in Fort Richmond: Care in Fort Richmond can support a return home from Victoria General, mobility and rehabilitation routines, personal care, companionship, or family respite while keeping the plan workable for a multi-generational household.

How this service connects to local care

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

How the service fits

Alzheimer's & Dementia Care care should translate the clinical plan into a workable home routine, including symptoms to monitor, personal support, medication instructions, mobility, nutrition, appointments, family respite, and when to contact the treating team.

Hospital and appointment handoff

If care follows a stay or appointment at Victoria General 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.

Companionship: Conversation, puzzles, music, walks, reminiscing
