The Manitoba Government has cut the annual budget for long-term care by $2.3M in the 2018-19 budget. Personal care homes budgets have cut services as a result. These cuts can affect staff hours, the quality of care to seniors and the number of seniors staying in hospitals while they wait for a placement. Given Manitoba's quickly increasing elderly population, we want funding for seniors restored with annual increases that reflect the number of seniors requiring support..
We. the undersigned, petition the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba as follows:
Stop the Government’s cuts to reduce funding for Personal Care Homes and, instead, restore and expand funding to reflect the increasing number of seniors who require support in their daily living needs.

Personal Care Homes have always suffered from lack of adequate funding. Recent 'budget cuts' have drastically hurt PCH ability to provide proper care to a growing population of elderly Manitoba citizens who have been doing their best for our province. If there is any justice in Manitoba it is our government that needs to repay residents in personal care homes by honouring their rights at this critical junction of their lives. Thank you all politicians for standing up and supporting this!
It’s absolutely disgusting the way the current government is treating our seniors. They deserve better.
Message received: don't give us your sick, needy, or dying, we can't even agree to take care of our own.
I am tired of hearing from Pallister and his cronies that they are finding "efficiencies" as they reduce expenditures and in the process cut services that are so needed by those less fortunate in Manitoba. These cuts are a perfect example of the charade that they are playing.
This government is cutting services and supports for our society’s most vulnerable groups. Let’s see some tax reform that will allow adequate funding of health care.
These people in our nursing homes deserve so much more.This is the time they need support most and we owe it to them not to let them down
Unconscionable -- ! Do what is right and caring and don't pay the piper on the backs of the most needy!

As my father is in a personal care home right now. I can only hope that ALL POLITICIANS consider their needs. But for the grace of god they may be the ones requiring these essential services soon. They appear to be somewhat short signed here with the cuts. These elderly citizens have spent their entire life working and paying taxes in Manitoba. They must be treated as well as is possible by our government and politicians. They have more then earned it.
