How this service connects to local care

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 Grace 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 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.
