More ways to make care possible
Understanding your options can make care planning feel lighter. We help families explore available programs, shared contributions, and clear payment arrangements—without pressure.
Talk through your options
A family-first approach
You don’t have to carry the cost of care alone
Care does not have to be one person’s responsibility. Sometimes siblings help. Sometimes families share costs. What matters most is finding a respectful plan that helps your loved one remain safely and comfortably at home.
At One Call Care at Home, we work with families to find care that fits—not just emotionally, but financially too.
Manitoba Self and Family Managed Care
More choice in arranging approved home care
Self and Family Managed Care (SFMC) is an alternative to receiving non-professional services directly through the regional Home Care program. Funding is based on an assessment by a Home Care case coordinator.
- 1
Connect with Home Care
Current WRHA Home Care clients can speak with their case coordinator. New clients can call Home Care Intake to ask about an assessment.
- 2
Complete an assessment
A case coordinator determines the type and amount of eligible service according to Home Care standards.
- 3
Receive a funding decision
If SFMC is approved, funding is provided to an approved Self or Family Manager based on assessed service needs.
- 4
Arrange and manage services
The manager takes responsibility for arranging care and meeting the program’s staffing, payroll, reporting, and coverage requirements.
