Respite Care in Lorette
Respite Care. Nurse-led. Doctor-supported.
Temporary relief for family caregivers — a few hours, an overnight, or several days. Sustainability matters, and burnout ends home care sooner than the condition does.
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.
How this service connects to local care
A plan for the person, the home, and the schedule
How the service fits
Respite care should identify exactly which family responsibilities need temporary coverage, whether support is planned, occasional, overnight, or part of a recurring schedule.
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.
