Finding Care

Our resident-centred philosophy ripples across our vast geography and intends to support residents’ choices, help people function at their highest level and provide the best quality of life possible in a home-like environment.

Respite Care is temporary relief for regular caregivers and has been shown to relieve stress and burnout, many times delaying or preventing long term care placement. Respite care in a personal care home includes help with personal care, medications and management of chronic illnesses. Access to a respite care bed in other health centres is subject to availability. For more information or to speak with to someone about receiving respite care, contact your local Case Coordinator-Home Care.

Telehealth is the use of technology to connect people to health care services at a distance. A secure, video link connects clients to health care providers at different locations in Manitoba. You are able to see, hear and talk to your care provider on a television screen and they will be able to see, hear and talk to you.

Therapeutic Recreation, also known as recreational programming, is provided in all personal care homes and in some other sites as an integral part of the overall care provided. Therapeutic Recreation has been shown to improve heart health, decrease blood pressure, improve strength, flexibility and walking ability, increase alertness, reduce falls, improve verbal interactions and improve morale and life satisfaction. Recreational programming is available for both individuals and groups and is designed to meet one’s physical, emotional, cultural and social needs.
