How this service connects to local care
A plan for the person, the home, and the schedule
How the service fits
Continuous care planning should distinguish rotating 24-hour coverage from live-in care, confirm whether the overnight caregiver must remain awake, and define toileting, repositioning, wandering, medication, and emergency needs.
Hospital and appointment handoff
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.
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.
