Funding & Resources
We Help You Navigate Every Funding Option
Funding for private home care can occur from a variety of programs and insurance providers. We help Manitoba families understand their options and handle the paperwork so care can start sooner.
Explore Your Funding Options
Government Support (Funding). Your Choice of Care.
Self and Family Managed Care is a specialized Manitoba Health Home Care program that puts you in control of your care. Instead of the home care program assigning your caregivers and schedule, you choose a care agency like Prime to provide your care—or hire your own staff. We assist with the care delivery, paperwork, and coordination so you can focus on what matters.
Choose Your Care Provider
With the funding provided, you are able to select the care agency or staff that best fits your needs.
On Your Schedule, Your Terms
With the funding provided, you are able to set care hours that work around your life.
Supplement Coverage to Meet Your Needs
Approved funding pays for your assessed care needs. No out-of-pocket for funded hours.
