Post-Surgery Recovery Care in Lorette
Post-Surgery Recovery Care. Nurse-led. Doctor-supported.
The first days and weeks after surgery are when patients are most vulnerable to complications — surgical site infections, blood clots, and sudden mobility loss. Being discharged home shouldn't mean being left alone to manage wound care and medications without support. Our nurse-led team ensures a smooth, safe transition from hospital to home with hands-on clinical care from day one.
Care planning in Lorette: Lorette families can plan housekeeping, nursing, respite, personal care, or overnight support around travel to Winnipeg-area facilities. If French is preferred, ask Prime to confirm current language availability before matching a caregiver.

A plan for the person, the home, and the schedule
How the service fits
Post-Surgery Recovery 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 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, 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.
