Personal Care & Daily Living. Nurse-led. Doctor-supported.

Trained, respectful caregivers for daily personal support that preserves independence — bathing, dressing, mobility, toileting, and the daily rhythms that make a day a day.

Care planning in Island Lakes: Island Lakes families can use an in-home assessment to combine foot care, physiotherapy, personal care, nursing, or care navigation with a realistic schedule for appointments, family relief, and overnight needs.

How this service connects to local care

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

How the service fits

Personal care works best when the plan records the client’s preferred bathing, dressing, toileting, grooming, meal, medication, and mobility routines, plus the level of help needed for each task.

Hospital and appointment handoff

If care follows a stay or appointment at St. Boniface 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.
