Continuity Care will assist families to ensure a safer and more secure future for their relative with a disability. Continuity Care works effectively in partnership with families, community, government and service providers. As an organization, it needs to be available in perpetuity to be there for families. The Continuity Care Endowment Fund , managed by the Winnipeg Foundation, will ensure the ongoing existence of the organization while maintaining its independence from government. Many families falsely believe that identify a portion of the estate and relying on the other siblings to look out for their brother or sister with the disability, that everything will be taken care of.
Good intentions based on the wrong information can put people at risk.
Some siblings tell us that they are uncomfortable with the responsibilities that the parents are expecting them to undertake. Others find that improper wills and estate planning can result in loss of government income supports, medical and dental benefits and access to many government programs. Continuity Care has identified key areas for families on which to base their future planning on. Continuity Care will work with individual families to help them identify paid and natural supports for their family members with a disability. Continuity Care is committed to ensuring that the families future planning will become a reality.
