--000000000000a5e27405e34a9fde Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" Thank you Jason for the information, Yes, it is called Self and Family Managed Care (in Mb, not sure if it is called the same in BC) through the provincial gov't for anyone who requires the max of 55 hours/week of homecare and are not satisfied with the provincial homecare service. I will be getting more information next week from some connections (Home Care Case Coordinators) I have, to see what other information I can find out about the program and will share with everyone as well.
