Manitoba Care Home Under Fire | Winnipeg News

Manitoba’s government has slapped serious restrictions on Extendicare Heritage Lodge in Winnipeg after a damning inspection revealed safety failures—especially for seniors with complex needs. The province now mandates approval from the Winnipeg Regional Health Authority for every new resident, signaling a major intervention. Health Minister insists these steps are necessary and not taken lightly, targeting how incidents are reported and handled. Families echo concerns: understaffing, poor cleanliness, and agonizing waits for basic care—though they defend the staff as overworked. Extendicare admits fault, pledging new staff training, improved documentation, and internal audits. The health authority is now stepping in to ensure transparency and stability for families considering the facility.
