Manitoba

In the province of Manitoba there is no authorization or screening required to operate an Assisted Living facility or community. They are privately owned facilities and are not licensed or government regulated. The Manitoba Home Care Program provides professional services to Assisted Living residents based upon their individual eligibility.

Assisted Living - Assisted Living is a private arrangement between the landlord and the individual which combines independent apartment living with purchased services from the sponsor, i.e. meals, laundry, and housekeeping. On-site assistance and supervision may or may not be provided by the sponsor depending on the site. The individual pays for the rent and service package.

Canada has a complicated structure that supports the planning, funding and delivery of home care services across Canada. There is no central body of government that regulates home care, and in 12 of 13 provinces and territories, home care services fall under the jurisdiction of the Ministries of Health.
