Personal Care Home Placement
A personal care home may be the appropriate care setting when:
- you can no longer remain safely at home even with home care services; and
- the services you need can be provided more effectively, safely and economically in a personal care home.
Application Process
The application form for personal care
home admission is provided by your
case co-ordinator and is signed by
you. The form includes medical,
nursing and other information
about you. Once completed,
the application is reviewed to
decide whether you are eligible
for admission to a personal
care home.
If you and your family have any
questions or concerns about your
application or about the decision
regarding your eligibility for personal
care home admission, please contact your
case co-ordinator.
You and your family may wish to visit several homes before deciding which one(s) you would choose. You may be asked to identify more than one personal care home that would be acceptable to you.
Placement Process
There may be a waiting period before you are admitted to the personal care home. During this time, home care services may be provided to you as necessary.
If you require admission immediately or are in hospital awaiting placement, you may be asked to accept placement in a different care facility until you can be admitted to the personal care home of your choice.
Appealing Process
Placement panel decisions may be appealed to the Manitoba Health Appeal Board. Pursuant to Section 10(2) of The Health Services Insurance Act, an appeal is commenced by a notice of appeal, setting out the grounds for appeal, which must be mailed or delivered to the board not more than 30 days after the date on which you receive notice of this decision, or within such further time as the Board permits. If you wish to pursue this option, a notice of appeal should be forwarded to the Manitoba Health Appeal Board.
