Care Possible Quickly Onboards 1,000 New Users
In November 2022, Manitoba Possible launched Care Possible, a new platform to connect home care and respite workers with clients. The online community has proven to be vital and timely with Manitobans enthusiastically embracing this new home care solution. Manitoba Possible is thrilled to report over 1,000 new users have been onboarded since the launch.
The government’s recent investment of $12.6-million to increase annual funding for the Self and Family Managed Care Program will better enable Manitobans to have costs subsidized when using home care and respite through Care Possible.
“We are thrilled the Manitoba government is supporting the Self and Family-Managed Care program,” says Lindsey Cooke, Director of Provincial Services at Manitoba Possible. “This additional funding will go far to help our Care Possible clients get the care they deserve. Our recent launch of Care Possible has been very successful, and we look forward to serving more Manitobans throughout the province.”
Through Care Possible, Manitobans have more control over their home care and respite services. The platform aims to improve the health and social wellbeing of individuals and families seeking care.
Featuring interactive maps, filtering criteria (language, skills, availability), communication tools, scheduling, and a secure online payment system, the platform makes the administration of self managed or family managed care simple.
Many Manitobans assume self-managed care is cost prohibitive, not realizing that self-managed care is an insured service for qualifying Manitobans. Based on your assessment by the Regional Health Authority, a care plan is developed and those services you are eligible for based on your health needs are reimbursed at a preset rate. This reimbursement makes selfmanaged home care much more affordable. Self-managed care through Care Possible also gives you choice of who cares for you and when care is received.
