Some Manitoba seniors who want to age in their homes will now have access to funding to make that possible, the province said Thursday.
The Manitoba government is developing a grant program to support home modifications that will allow them to stay in their own homes longer. Those projects could include installing ramps, widened doorways, curbless showers and improved lighting, Seniors Minister Scott Johnston said at a Thursday news conference.
“We recognize we have an aging society, and therefore these initiatives are there to help,” Johnston said.
The aid will only be available to households with someone over the age
