Dementia care at home in Winnipeg from Friendly Caregiver Seniors Care means one of our caregivers comes to the home to keep the day steady for a person living with dementia: supervision, a familiar routine, meals, activities they enjoy, and help with bathing and dressing, from the same caregiver each visit, for visits of three hours up to 24 hours, seven days a week. It is non-medical care from a family-run Winnipeg agency, in business since 2009. Call 204-798-0490 or contact us. The phone is answered 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
Who this is for
- A parent living in their own home whose daily routine has started to slip
- A spouse who is the full-time caregiver and needs a familiar second person in the house
- A relative in a 55+ building, assisted living or a personal care home who needs extra one-to-one hours
- A son or daughter in another city who wants one person in Winnipeg they can call
What a visit includes
A visit can include:
- Supervision, for the whole visit
- Keeping the day’s routine at the usual times
- Familiar activities: cards, puzzles, a walk around the block
- Meals and a snack
- Help with bathing and dressing
- Company, conversation and outings
- Light housekeeping, so the home stays safe and tidy
- A report back to you after the visit
Why the same caregiver matters
Loreta Stukaite, the owner, matches one caregiver to your family herself and comes to the first visit with them. After that, the same person returns every time and learns how your mother takes her tea and which chair is hers. If your caregiver is away, Loreta tells you beforehand who is coming.
Three things matter to us here: the caregiver shows up every time, stays calm and unhurried, and respects your parent’s wish to do as much as they can for themselves.
Families who have had us in the home say it in their own words on our testimonials page.
What we do not offer
Our care is non-medical. Friendly Caregiver does not employ licensed nurses, so our caregivers do not give injections, administer medication, change dressings, or provide nursing or palliative care. We are not a memory-care residence or a secure unit. Not a medical or nursing service.
When a few hours a week is not enough
Hours can start small and grow as your family’s needs change, with the same caregiver wherever the schedule allows. The same team covers:
- Respite care: a break for the family caregiver
- Overnight care: through the night, awake or sleeping nearby, whichever your family needs
- 24-hour care: round-the-clock coverage at home
How it starts
- Call 204-798-0490, any hour, or send the contact form.
- A free consultation in the home with Loreta about what a normal day looks like and where the hard moments are.
- Loreta matches one caregiver to your family and attends the first visit.
- You book a standing weekly slot, a block of days, or 24-hour cover. Care usually starts within days.
- The same caregiver returns each time.
What it costs
Dementia care at home is billed by the hour with a 3-hour minimum per visit. Rates depend on the care plan, so we do not publish a price list; you get a quote at the free consultation, with no obligation. Families approved for Self and Family Managed Care can direct that funding to a private agency like ours.
Where we serve
Winnipeg: the person’s own home, and inside 55+ buildings, assisted living and personal care homes when a family wants extra one-to-one time covered there.
Screened and insured
Every caregiver passes a criminal record check, an adult abuse registry check, and a child abuse registry check. Friendly Caregiver Seniors Care is insured. More about our caregivers.
Support for families in Manitoba
We are a care agency, not a medical service, so for information about dementia itself, and for family support, we send families to the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba. For Manitoba’s public home care program, call the WRHA Home Care intake line at 204-788-8330.
Frequently asked questions
Can someone with dementia be cared for at home in Winnipeg?
Many Winnipeg families do, with a caregiver coming in for part of the day. Whether and when a care home is the right move is a decision for your family and your parent’s doctor, not for us.
Do you provide memory care?
No. We provide companionship and personal care in the person’s own home in Winnipeg, from the same caregiver each visit. We are not a memory-care residence or a secure unit.
Will it be the same caregiver every time?
Yes. Loreta matches one caregiver to your family and comes to the first visit in your Winnipeg home with them, and that caregiver comes back every visit. If you ever want a change, call Loreta at 204-798-0490.
Can the hours grow if we need more?
Yes: add respite, overnight care or 24-hour cover as you need it, with the same caregiver wherever the schedule allows, seven days a week, all winter.
Can Self and Family Managed Care pay for dementia care at home?
Yes. Families approved for Self and Family Managed Care can direct that funding to a private agency like ours; how the program works is on our SFMC page.
How much does dementia care at home cost in Winnipeg?
By the hour, with a 3-hour minimum per visit; the rate depends on the care plan, so we quote at the free consultation in your family’s Winnipeg home rather than publishing a price list.
