Assessing Your Options

If you require assistance selecting the right housing option for you, you may want to start by discussing your support needs with your Home Care Case Coordinator. If you do not have a Home Care Case Coordinator, you could contact the Home Care intake line at 204-788-8330.  To access home care in rural Manitoba, you must contact the regional health authority (RHA) for the area you live in. For RHA contact information, visit here. If you are unsure of which RHA governs your area, have a look at our provincial map here.

If you have determined Personal Care Home services is the level of service you require, there are still a number of considerations. LTCAM PCH members are found on this website under About Us with information and virtual tours. To tour a PCH in the comfort of your home, virtual tours can be viewed at About US. This should not take the place of an actual tour where you would have an opportunity to meet with staff at the home. When touring personal care homes, you may find it helpful to have a checklist. To help you ask some the important questions during your visit the following check list has been provided.
