Meal Preparation Services. Nurse-led. Doctor-supported.

Home-cooked meal preparation tailored to dietary needs, cultural preferences, and actual taste — because food matters more than the calorie count on a frozen tray.

Care planning in Gimli: Gimli families may need continuous care, physiotherapy, foot care, palliative support, personal care, or nursing that accounts for seasonal access, travel to Selkirk, and the availability of nearby family.

How this service connects to local care

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

How the service fits

Meal support should reflect medical and cultural preferences, safe food handling, grocery access, appetite changes, hydration, and what the client can still do independently.

Hospital and appointment handoff

If care follows a stay or appointment at Gimli Community 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.
