How this service connects to local care
A plan for the person, the home, and the schedule
How the service fits
At-home rehabilitation can connect the therapist’s mobility, balance, strength, transfer, and home-safety goals to the rooms and equipment the client uses every day.
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.
