Holy Family Home, 165 Aberdeen Avenue (HANDOUT)
A new 26-bed transitional care unit has officially opened at Holy Family Home in Winnipeg’s North End, aimed at supporting seniors awaiting placement in personal care homes.
Health Minister Uzoma Asagwara said the $1.9 million renovation is part of a broader plan to reduce hospital wait times and improve patient flow. The upgraded unit includes enhanced safety features, new resident amenities, and improved accessibility.
“This new unit will provide high-quality, appropriate level of care to seniors who have left the hospital and are awaiting admission into a personal care home,” said Asagwara
The province says it has now opened 82 transitional care beds since May, surpassing its initial target of 68 beds. Holy Family Home CEO Angela Peeler said the new unit will help improve timely access to care for seniors in transition from hospital to long-term care.
