Home Care in St. Vital, Winnipeg

St. Vital is a neighbourhood built for staying put. A great deal of its housing stock is post-war bungalows on generous lots, which is genuinely good news for aging in place: one level, no stairs to negotiate, and doorways that usually take a walker. The catch is that these homes were built for people in their thirties, so bathrooms tend to be small and original, with high tub walls and no room for a bench. Bathroom safety is the single most common practical issue our St. Vital caregivers raise. The area is also well served for the things that keep people independent longer. St. Vital Centre puts most shopping and several medical services in one place, which matters a great deal in January, and St. Vital Park gives clients somewhere genuinely pleasant to walk with a caregiver in the warmer months. Dakota Street and St. Mary's Road carry the bus routes most of our clients used before they stopped travelling alone. We see a lot of families here where an adult child lives elsewhere in the city or has moved out of province, and the parent is determined not to leave a house full of memories.
