Private Nursing Care in Point Douglas
Private Nursing Care. Nurse-led. Doctor-supported.
RN-level skilled nursing at home — wound care, medication management, complex chronic condition oversight, and the clinical work that home care aides cannot do.
Care planning in Point Douglas: Point Douglas care planning can connect Health Sciences Centre follow-up with nursing, personal care, care navigation, transportation, dementia support, or continuous coverage. Cultural and caregiver preferences should be discussed directly during assessment, not assumed from the postal area.

A plan for the person, the home, and the schedule
How the service fits
Private nursing can turn written clinical instructions into an at-home plan for wound care, medication administration, monitoring, IV therapy, or follow-up, based on the nurse assessment and prescriber’s orders.
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.
