Palliative & End-of-Life Care in Stonewall
Palliative & End-of-Life Care. Nurse-led. Doctor-supported.
When comfort becomes the priority, families deserve more than a waitlist. Winnipeg has only 16 dedicated hospice beds for the entire city — the lowest ratio in Canada — with wait times stretching weeks. Our team provides the round-the-clock, comfort-focused care that allows clients to spend their final chapter at home, in peace, surrounded by the people and environment they love.
Care planning in Stonewall: Stonewall care can connect local health-centre follow-up with personal care, foot care, physiotherapy, respite, meals, or nursing at home, while also planning for appointments that may require travel toward Winnipeg.
How this service connects to local care
A plan for the person, the home, and the schedule
How the service fits
Palliative & End-of-Life Care care should translate the clinical plan into a workable home routine, including symptoms to monitor, personal support, medication instructions, mobility, nutrition, appointments, family respite, and when to contact the treating team.
Hospital and appointment handoff
If care follows a stay or appointment at Stonewall & District Health 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, 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.
