Minister Thompson Announces Funding for Seniors to Age in Their Homes in Manitoba
Winnipeg, MB (February 7, 2025) – The Manitoba government is investing $15 million over three years to help seniors age in their homes and communities.
Minister of Seniors and Long-Term Care, Scott Thompson, made the announcement today at a press conference at the Misericordia Health Centre in Winnipeg.
“We know that most seniors want to remain in their homes and communities as they age,” said Thompson. “This funding will help us to provide them with the support they need to do so.”
The funding will be used to support a range of programs and services, including:
- Home adaptations and repairs
- Assistive devices and technology
- Personal care and support services
- Transportation services
- Social and recreational programs
“This investment will make a real difference in the lives of seniors in Manitoba,” said Thompson. “It will help them to live independently and safely in their homes and communities.”
The funding is part of the government’s $100 million Seniors Strategy, which was announced in 2022. The strategy is aimed at improving the lives of seniors in Manitoba by providing them with the support they need to live healthy, active, and engaged lives.
“We are committed to making Manitoba the best place in Canada to grow old,” said Thompson. “This investment is a key part of that commitment.”
