Program Information / Eligibility

The Manitoba Home Care Program is a community-based program that provides home support to individuals, regardless of age, who require health services or assistance with activities of daily living. Home Care works with individuals and provides assistance to help them stay in their homes
for as long as is safely possible.

A professional assessment of your individual needs, existing supports and community resources will determine your eligibility for the Manitoba Home Care Program and the type and amount of services you may receive.

The Manitoba Home Care Program is responsible for ensuring the provision of reliable and safe assessed service in the home, education setting or workplace.

To be eligible for the Manitoba Home Care Program an individual must:

• be a Manitoba resident, registered with Manitoba Health;
• require health services or assistance with activities of daily living;
• require service to stay in their home for as long as possible; and
• require more assistance than that available from existing supports and community resources.
