Light housekeeping, laundry, and household organisation that keeps a home liveable and safe — the quiet work that falls through the cracks as energy declines.

How the service fits

Household support can focus on the tasks that affect safety and daily function, including laundry, linens, dishes, bathroom and kitchen upkeep, light cleaning, and reducing trip hazards.

Hospital and appointment handoff

If care follows a stay or appointment at Health Sciences 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 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.
