Housekeeping Services
Saskatoon Services for Seniors offers housekeeping services for all seniors in Saskatoon. Our staff is screened and fully insured. We are here to assist with many household cleaning services such as kitchens, bathrooms, laundry, dusting and wall washing. We only provide the services that you require and as such only have a one hour minimum for each appointment. We can provide regular weekly service, bi-weekly services or just when you need us. The fee involved is based on the seniors’ income and if cost is a barrier, though our donors we can usually overcome this barrier to be able to get seniors the help they need.
A New Year of Care
Has your aging loved one had: a minor or major fall, noticeable weight loss, clutter accumulation in the home, missed appointments or overdue bills? Now is the time to discuss plans and consult with professionals. Being a family caregiver can be stressful. Often, we are balancing care for an aging loved one with the needs of our own children, grandchildren, work, or other commitments. Care needs can be relentless. As you begin a new year, consider how professional in-home care for an aging loved one will improve their quality of life and support you as well.
Business Spotlight: Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy
Medicine Shoppe Pharmacy is a locally owned pharmacy specializing in compounding – the art and science of formulating medications that are not commercially available. This helps them meet the needs of patients and physicians when they need someone to “think outside of the box”. Whether it’s a medication on backorder or one that just doesn’t suit the patient’s needs, they can come up with creative solutions to help! In their in-house top-of-the-line lab, they formulate individualized medications. The pharmacy is also happy to help parents of small children by supplying compounded acetaminophen and ibuprofen during the stressful Tylenol and Advil shortages.

The “Other 165”
For most of us, doing a workout 3 times in a week is a great week. It also means that your results are largely going to be dictated by the “Other 165” hours in the week. Factors like sleep, stress, hydration, and nutrition have a lot more to do with how your clothes fit than the pushups that you did yesterday. Yes, it’s important to get your workouts in, but it’s even more important to be accountable to what happens during the “Other 165.” Embrace it!
