Exploring Self and Family Managed Care

Understanding Self and Family Managed Care

Self and family managed care gives individuals and their families control over their home care choices. Instead of going through traditional agencies, self-managed care allows individuals to direct their own care, and family-managed care lets families take charge coordinating home care for a loved one. Individuals and families can organize, manage, and lead the care services they need.

Many Manitobans assume self and family managed care is cost prohibitive, not realizing that it is an insured service for qualifying Manitobans. Based on an assessment by the Regional Health Authority, your care plan is developed and those services you are eligible for based on your health needs are reimbursed at a preset rate. This reimbursement makes self-managed home care much more affordable. Regional Health Authorities include:

Winnipeg Regional Health Authority - Self & Family Managed Care

Northern Health Region - Self & Family Managed Care

Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority - Senior care

Southern Health-Santé Sud - Self & Family Managed Care

Prairie Mountain Health - Self & Family Managed Care
