Smoking Affects Your Hearing
Did you make any New Year’s resolutions? If you are a smoker, you can now add increased risk of hearing loss to the list of reasons to quit. The chemicals found in cigarettes may affect the way your ear processes sound. In fact, smokers have been found to be 15% more likely to have hearing loss than non-smokers. Hearing loss isn’t fatal, but it can lead to a number of health-related issues down the line. Dementia & depression have been linked to untreated hearing loss, so be sure to have your ears checked regularly. Get started by scheduling a hearing test today.

Become the Catalyst of Positive Change
Are you wanting something different in your life or work? A quiet mind that is not overthinking? More self-esteem/self-confidence? More balance in your life? Professional coaching focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes, and managing personal change. Other service professions, like consulting and psychotherapy, are based on the wisdom and expertise of the professional. In coaching you—the client—are the expert. Brian’s role as your coach is to ask powerful questions, act as a sounding board, listen fully and actively, challenge your blind spots, and foster shifts in thinking that reveal fresh perspectives.
Volunteers Needed
Here at Saskatoon Services for Seniors, we strive to make a difference every day. We do this by helping seniors remain safely in their own homes by providing services that they need. One of these key services, especially in the winter, is our grocery delivery program. We are currently looking for one or two volunteers to help with this program. If you are interested in helping seniors in our community, please contact our office today. Grocery volunteers are also needed to help with our grocery shoppers/delivery.
About Us
Saskatoon Services for Seniors was started in 1988 with the goal of helping seniors stay independent in their homes. We started with offering housekeeping services and later added yardwork crews to help seniors maintain the outside of their properties. Over the years, we have added many services to assist seniors, including snow shoveling, handyman services, and grocery delivery. Today, we offer many services to help seniors in Saskatoon remain safe and independent in their homes.
