Celebrating Our Caregivers

On July 31st, Comforts of Home - Care honored, appreciated and thanked the selfless caregivers who do an amazing job at caring for those in need. It was a wonderful day celebrating together with caregivers, office staff and their families.

Self/Family Managed Care

Manitoba is the only province that offers the Self and Family Managed Care Program to eligible home care recipients.

This program offers money in exchange for home care services, which can be used to hire private care or a care company such as Comforts of Home – Care. By going this route, not only do you have a say about who comes into your home, you can ensure consistency and quality of care.
