Residents in Manitoba personal care homes will pay hundreds of dollars more per year once annual rate increases come into effect on Saturday. Residents on the highest end of the scale will see their daily rate rise from $90.65 per day to $95.20. That rate applies to single residents making $39,188.03 or more or more, and married/common-law residents with a combined annual income of $79,604.03 or more. Residents on the lowest end of the scale — those making $18,857.52 per year or less — will pay $39.40 per day. Earlier this month, the Manitoba Association of Residential and Community Care Homes for the Elderly said many care homes in the province have had their funding frozen for the last 10 years.
