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.

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.
