Coming home from hospital

Help getting settled at home after a hospital stay

Coming home is a relief, and it can be a lot. We give families in Winnipeg practical, non-medical support for the first days and weeks, so recovery can happen where your loved one feels most comfortable.

How we help

Before discharge

Call us when a discharge date is mentioned. We'll talk through the plan from the hospital team and have care lined up for the day your loved one comes home.

The first day home

Help getting home and settled in, a tidy, safe space, groceries in the fridge and someone there so nobody is alone on day one.

Personal care

Gentle help with bathing, dressing, toileting and moving safely around the home while strength comes back.

Meals and errands

Easy, healthy meals, light housekeeping, laundry, prescription and grocery pick-ups.

Medication reminders

Friendly reminders to take medication as prescribed. We don't give or manage medication.

Nights and respite

Overnight stays for the first nights home, and breaks for family members who are doing the rest.

Appointments

Company to follow-up appointments, so you have a second set of ears.

Alongside WRHA home care

If WRHA home care is arranged, we fit around those visits and add the extra hours your family needs.

Coming home from any Winnipeg hospital

We help families whose loved ones are coming home from hospitals across the city, including:

  • Health Sciences Centre (HSC)
  • St. Boniface Hospital
  • Grace Hospital
  • Victoria General Hospital
  • Concordia Hospital
  • Seven Oaks General Hospital

We are an independent, private home care company. We are not part of, or endorsed by, these hospitals or WRHA.

Non-medical support only

We provide non-medical personal care and companionship. Our caregivers do not give injections, change wound dressings, administer medication or provide nursing care. Medication reminders only. We follow the discharge instructions from the hospital team and let you know if anything seems off, so you can contact your doctor or nurse.

Paying for care after hospital

You get a free, personalised quote before care begins. Private pay, WRHA Self & Family Managed Care and Veterans Affairs VIP may all apply, and our receipts can count toward the medical expense tax credit. See funding & payment.
