How this service connects to local care
A plan for the person, the home, and the schedule
How the service fits
Parkinson's Disease 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.

Fewer off-periods
Medication given on exact time — not "around 8 AM" — means fewer immobility crashes and more functional hours per day.
Falls avoided
Hands-on transfers, de-iced paths, and gait cueing keep Winnipeg winters safer for clients with freezing episodes.
Exercise sustained
Daily movement routines continue even on low-motivation days because a trained caregiver is there to guide them.
Voice heard
Caregivers slow down and listen, so communication doesn't degrade into frustration on both sides.
