Care Planning

Planning Care in Portage la Prairie

We coordinate each part of the care arrangement before the first visit, from the transition home and household setup to caregiver scheduling and funding.

From hospital or clinic to home

If care follows a stay or appointment at Portage District General 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.

Inside the home

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.

Coverage and scheduling

For service outside Winnipeg, confirm the exact address, proposed hours, travel arrangements, minimum shift structure, overnight needs, and backup plan before care begins.

Public and Private Care Pathways

Care that fits your needs and supports your journey

Manitoba's public Home Care program starts with an assessment to determine eligibility and establish a care plan. Families can add Prime's private home care when they need more hours, different services, or a schedule that fits daily life. Our Care Navigators help coordinate Self and Family Managed Care, insurance, and other funding options so public and private supports work together.
