Manitoba Developmental Centre

Located in Portage la Prairie, the Manitoba Developmental Centre is an accredited residential care facility for adults with a mental disability. The Centre provides care, supervision and developmental programs for over 400 residents. The Centre is committed to the principles of resident-centered service and continuous quality improvement and strives to enhance the quality of life for the Manitobans who reside there.

Residential units are organized into four areas of specialization which reflect the unique needs of the residents. These include:

  • the Extended Care Program, which provides care and services for residents whose mental disability or complex medical conditions require intensive, long-term care;
  • the Geriatric Program, which provides care and services for residents who experience age-related changes that affect daily living;
  • the Habilitation Program, which provides care and services for residents whose behaviours present a risk to themselves, to others or to their environment; and
  • the Specialty Care Program, which provides services and supports to assist residents to increase their independence and participate more fully in community life.
