Palliative & End-of-Life Care in Waverley West
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 Waverley West: Care in Waverley West can be structured around palliative or personal support, foot care, physiotherapy, and care navigation, with clear plans for appointments at Victoria General and for changes in the client’s condition.
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 Victoria 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.
