St. Norbert’s illustrious history has allowed it to evolve over the years to be the amazing city it is today. Many of its roots can be traced directly back to the history of trade, where settlers would transport goods from the more northern areas to the southern Hudson Bay Company. However, it wasn’t long until settlers saw what an advantageous area St. Norbert was and decided to stay for good.
Today, this area is home to a number of attractions that keep residents delighted year-round. You can still revel in the history at the Chapelle Notre-Dame-du-Bon-Secours, the chapel built in the mid-1800s by Father Ritchot. You may even choose to visit the former Trappist monastery guesthouse, now recognized at the St. Norbert Arts Centre.
If the history of St. Norbert doesn’t appeal to you, there is still so much this area offers. The area is still well-known for its beauty and its local farmer’s market. This is an opportunity to connect with local farmers and producers to purchase goods directly from the surrounding areas. Find a bite to eat and enjoy the scenery of the city.

Our family created Partners for Home, after our father was diagnosed with ALS in 2007. Since this time, we have become experts in helping families understand and navigate through the options here in Manitoba for the highest possible Home Care experience.
Because of our how company works with the WRHA’s Self / Family Managed Home Care program, not only was our father able to remain in his home, but he continues to feel safe and remain a family contributor while maintaining his dignity. None of this would have been possible without this program. SFMC allows Manitoban’s through a private Agency to build a truly customized level of service specific to their individual needs. For our family, this meant our father could be helped out of bed at the time he wanted to be moved instead of waiting sometimes for hours for someone to arrive. Rather than having to deal with new people coming to our house almost every day, he could rely on the same Care Giver. This resulted in a less stressful environment for both our father and the Care Givers, as he no longer needs to retrain a new worker each and every day on how to move him. In addition, our father can have a shower as often as he wants, and is no longer limited to just one per week, which just was not enough. In addition, moving to the Self / Family Managed Home Care program, has enabled our family to develop meaningful relationships with the Care Givers that serve our family.
Unlike other companies that may send new workers each day, our goal is to pair you with the same staff so you know exactly what to expect. Success between our caregivers and clients can frequently be influenced by the presence or absence of compatibility between the participants and we do not leave that factor to chance.
