How the service fits
Respite care should identify exactly which family responsibilities need temporary coverage, whether support is planned, occasional, overnight, or part of a recurring schedule.
Hospital and appointment handoff
If care follows a stay or appointment at Seven Oaks 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 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.
