The 5 Best Home Health Care Providers in Winnipeg Who Make Patients and Families Feel Secure
When my grandma’s mobility started declining, we faced one of the hardest decisions we’ve ever had to make: finding the right home health care service.
We didn’t just look for somebody who could help with daily tasks. We wanted a caregiver who was trustworthy, dependable, and truly understood the emotional weight of losing independence and would treat her with real compassion.
After weeks of research and several consultations, a few centres stood out to us for all the right reasons. They provided the kind of care we were looking for.
If you and your family are going through a similar journey, we hope our list helps. These are the home health care providers in Winnipeg that made a lasting impression on us.
How much does home health care cost in Winnipeg?
Home health care providers in Winnipeg offer publicly funded options for eligible residents through the Regional Health Authority (RHA). However, private care costs range from $38 for general assistance to $80 per hour for skilled nursing visits, depending on assessed needs and chosen providers.
1. TheKey
Address: 530 Kenaston Blvd Suite 344
Contact details:
- +1 204-813-7124
- [email protected]
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Available 24 hours
TheKey was originally founded as Home Care Assistance in 2002 before it underwent a rebrand in 2022. For over two decades, they’ve given millions of hours of care to families in the city.
We particularly love their team-based approach. Behind every caregiver is a full-time care group, providing oversight, guidance, and support to the patient and their family.
In addition, their holistic Japan-inspired Balanced Care Method prioritizes a healthy mind, body, and spirit—so seniors can live with an enhanced quality of life.
These techniques are paired with a comprehensive range of assistance, from simple companionship to memory and specialized home care.
Before anything else, they conduct a free phone consultation, where they match clients with the right support and services to live and age comfortably at home.
Some people we spoke to, however, said that the centre was hard to reach by phone.
Their caregivers are equipped to assist patients with dementia
“My family and I have been working with TheKey for over two years now. Prior to that, we had employed another agency to care for our aging grandmother. We find that our care manager, Brian, is well equipped to deal with our family’s evolving needs. Furthermore, their caregivers seem to be a better match and equipped to deal with some of the more challenging dynamics associated with dementia. I have recommended them to other friends and colleagues who have also been very satisfied.”

The staff were very accommodating, and communication was fast and reliable
“We required assistance for our father on short notice. Dennis and his team matched him with an AMAZING care giver who provided professional, kind and compassionate care for him. Her daily visits were a huge boost for him and certainly helped with his recovery. She genuinely cared about him and his well being and I honestly don’t think we could have found a better care giver or service provider. The staff were very accommodating, and communication was fast and reliable. Finding someone to help look after a loved one is challenging, but we were very fortunate to have found Dennis and his team. I highly recommend them to anyone! Thank you for the exceptional care you provided and for the peace of mind it gave our family!!”

2. Partners for Home Care
Address: 1460 Chevrier Blvd #200
Contact details:
- +1 204-291-1640
- [email protected]
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Available 24 hours
Partners for Home Care was born after the founders’ father was diagnosed with an advanced neurological disorder, which led to severe balance and mobility issues.
It’s because of their personal experience that they’re highly skilled in assisting patients with advanced movement disabilities, including Parkinson’s Disease, Essential Tremor, Ataxia, and Dystonia.
Beyond that, the team also offers services to people of all ages who would benefit from attentive help at home, from those recovering from surgery to those in need of end-of-life care.
Several families we spoke to commended the centre for providing a free in-home assessment and meet-and-greet that helped a lot in determining if they’re the perfect choice for their loved ones.
However, based on what we’ve discovered, Partners for Home Care is a small, family-owned company with limited staff compared to competitors. This means they can’t help numerous patients at once.
They were professional, warm, and extremely caring
“Partners for Home has provided care services to one of our family-members for a number of years. We have had the same care-givers for years, and they were professional, warm and extremely caring. Not to mention that working with Gisella and Scott is simply delightful. We have worked with other companies in the past and we immediately noticed the difference in quality once we started working with Partners for Home. The level and quality of services provided by them is superb. I highly recommend Partners for Home services without any hesitation.”

Partners for Home and their staff have truly made a world of difference to us
“Partners for Home have been such a great resource for me and my husband who has Alzheimer’s. Amandeep is a very organized and responsive care co-ordinator. She’s very adept at solving problems and always with a smile and a pleasant demeanour. Our main care giver is Surabjit and we could not ask for a better person! He is always patient and kind with my husband (who can be difficult). He’s responsible with medications, personal care, and many other duties as needed. Partners for Home and their staff have truly made a world of difference to us and we are so grateful to have found them.”

3. Right at Home
Address: 238 St Mary’s Rd
Contact details:
- +1 204-318-5554
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Available 24 hours
Allen Hager, who had worked for many years as a hospital CEO, started Right at Home in 1995 after watching people leave the centre and return home not fully healed.
That realization fueled his company’s patient-centred approach. They highly encourage clients and their families to be involved in the decision-making process, from the initial meeting to special requests.
For services, the team provides various levels of home assistance for adults and seniors, including companion, personal, nursing, and specialty care.
What we liked most was the innovative technology they use, Sensi.AI, which utilizes a series of small devices to give them a deep understanding of patients’ physical and cognitive needs. It’s like an always-on 24/7 virtual care assessment tool.
One thing to keep in mind is that some people found it hard to secure a slot with the centre.
Staff here are very experienced, polite, helpful, and caring towards clients
“There is no hesitation to say that experience of working with Right at Home is beyond words. Staff here, is very experienced, polite, helping and caring towards clients. All their clients are well cared and satisfied from their services. I recommend people to trust them and give them a chance to serve you. Sareeha, our manager, is very helping and understanding person. As a member of her team, I always feel comfortable to convey my feelings and problems to her being fearless and she always has a solution for every issue. I am impressed by the way she address problems. A big thanks to her for being there whenever we need her.”

Efficient and thorough, and needed minimal guidance as to what to do
“My husband Ken had Michelle as a care giver and got along very well with her. She was nice and polite. Ken wasn’t too sure of the help or services he should/could ask for, being his first time in getting home care, and Michelle was very good at helping him in that regard and getting things done without much suggestions. She was efficient and thorough and needed minimal guidance as to what to do. In all we are satisfied with your services and will use your outfit again.”

4. Home Instead
Address: 610 Sherbrook St
Contact details:
- +1 204-800-0901
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Available 24 hours
Home Instead has been locally owned and operated since 2007 and has grown to two locations, with its second branch established in 2018.
Their main centre in Sherbrook offers all-inclusive home assistance for aging adults, including care for individuals with dementia, diabetes, and arthritis.
For those who prefer home care from licensed medical professionals, they have a nurse-directed support option, where a registered nurse oversees all services.
What sets them apart is their thorough process. We discovered that they follow a seven-step procedure, from assessments and reviews to identifying opportunities for support.
However, due to the centre’s popularity among locals, some people find it difficult to book an appointment.
The care staff were very compassionate and reliable
“We recently used Home Instead for two separate services. One was an elderly parent requiring extensive in-home palliative care, with WRHA involvement. The second was companion care for an elderly parent housed in a nursing home. In both cases the experience was very good. The care staff were very compassionate and reliable. Administration staff were flexible and caring as well.”
-Greg Hickaway, Google Review
One thing I really appreciated was that we had the same staff for several years
“Home Instead provided care givers for my Mom for over 7 years. We always had great people who really cared about Mom. I found the office staff to be very accommodating and helpful. One thing I really appreciated was that we had the same staff for several years. They became family to my Mom, and sisters to me. This was especially important in Mom’s last couple of years, when she lost the ability to speak. The caregivers knew her so well that they could still communicate with her. I highly recommend Home Instead to anyone who is looking to help with a senior. Their help allowed us to give Mom a quality of life in her last years that would not have otherwise been possible.”

5. Homecare Solutions for Everyone
Address: 99 Scurfield Blvd. Unit 200
Contact details:
- +1 204-443-4473
- [email protected]
Business hours:
- Monday to Sunday: Available 24 hours
Homecare Solutions for Everyone boasts over three decades of combined home care experience among its personnel. This wealth of expertise hasn’t gone unnoticed.
The centre received the 2026 Consumer Choice Award for Home Healthcare Services in Winnipeg, recognized for its staff’s compassion and unwavering support for their patients. Their award-winning care extends across age groups.
They offer in-home assistance for both children and seniors, which you won’t usually see in similar facilities. This includes respite care, companionship, grooming, and specialized help for children and the elderly with unique needs.
Most patients we spoke to praised the centre for conducting the free initial assessment at their homes, which they see as far better than just talking via phone.
One drawback, though, was that they took more than a day to respond to our emails.
The care we received, although during a brief relationship, was deeply impactful
“I recently faced the profoundly difficult experience of my mother’s passing. During this challenging time, Kimberley and her team were nothing short of exceptional. Their communication, empathy, and compassion stood out, providing exactly what my family needed. The care we received, although during a brief relationship, was deeply impactful. I am immensely grateful for their professionalism and heartfelt service. I would like to extend the biggest virtual hug and thank Kimberley and her team for their exemplary care. If anyone is seeking a service that offers genuine support and kindness, look no further. I wholeheartedly recommend Kimberley and her team, and I am more than happy to provide a further testimonial or review to support their wonderful work.”

So professional and caring and understood just what we were going through
“I live out of province and needed help for my Dad. HSE was referred to my sister by a friend so I called. The lady on the phone listened to all my concerns and quickly helped to put a plan together to care for my dad. They were so professional and caring and understood just what we were going through. With one phone call, I had so much peace of mind. My sister and I were both so happy we called. Highly recommend!!!”
