WINNIPEG LONG-TERM CARE

Winnipeg Long-Term Care (Personal Care Home) Waitlist

In Manitoba, a long-term care home is called a personal care home. The Winnipeg Regional Health Authority (WRHA) manages placement in Winnipeg. Each week Manitoba Health counts how many people in the region are waiting for a bed, in hospital and in the community. This page shows those figures week by week, with every personal care home in the region.

HOW PLACEMENT WORKS

How a Personal Care Home Placement Works in Winnipeg

Placement runs through the WRHA's Home Care program, in 4 steps.

  1. Start with home care

    Call Home Care Central Intake at 204-788-8330. A case coordinator visits, assesses your loved one's needs and sets up a care plan. The WRHA looks at a personal care home application only once a person is getting the most home care available for their needs.

  2. Apply

    When home care is no longer enough, the case coordinator brings in a long-term care navigator. The navigator fills in the application with your loved one, who must agree to it. Their doctor or nurse practitioner adds a medical assessment.

  3. Panel approval

    The navigator reviews the application and approves it, a step Winnipeg calls the panel process. To qualify, a person must need 24-hour nursing care, be medically stable and meet Manitoba's residency rules.

  4. Wait for a bed

    Once approved, your loved one joins the waitlist for the home they picked, in order of approval date. Someone moving straight from hospital takes the first suitable bed and keeps their place on that list. Turning down a bed at the chosen home means applying again from the start.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Questions About Personal Care Homes in Winnipeg

Why is there no waitlist for each home?

The WRHA's Long Term Care Access Centre keeps the waitlists, and Manitoba Health publishes one weekly count for the whole Winnipeg health region, which this page shows. The homes themselves cannot tell you their wait times.

What do waiting in hospital and waiting in the community mean?

Manitoba Health counts the people waiting for a personal care home bed in two groups: those in a hospital and those in the community, such as at home. It also counts how many from each group moved into a home that week.

Can we choose more than one home?

One at a time. In Winnipeg your loved one's name sits on a single home's waitlist. If you switch to another home, their place still goes by the date the application was approved.

Does private home care change our place on the list?

No. Places on the waitlist go by the date the application was approved. Private home care can add hours, overnight care and more consistency in who comes to the house.
