Saskatoon Services for Seniors was started in 1988 with goal of helping seniors to stay independent and in their homes as long as they want. We started with offering our Housekeeping service and later developed yard work crews to help seniors with maintaining the outside of their properties. Over the years we have added many services to assist seniors including snow shoveling, handyman services and Grocery Delivery just to name a few. Today we offer many services to help seniors in Saskatoon remain safely in their homes and independent.

Alternatives to Costly Funerals
FAMSS is a non-profit society providing funeral planning advice to the public since 1969. It is an association of like-minded people from all walks of life who respect the need for a simple, dignified alternative to increasingly costly funerals. Most members believe that money spent on elaborate funerals and caskets could be better spent among the living. When you join the Society, you and your family make decisions at home, without emotional or time pressures, and gain peace of mind knowing your affairs are in order. Deal with your passing now and make end-of-life arrangements in accordance with your wishes!
Live Blood Analysis
Darkfield microscopy is a form of live blood analysis that allows the practitioner and patient to have a detailed look at the individual’s health. A singular drop of blood gets suspended under the microscope and projected onto a screen. From there you can see and analyze what your blood consists of and view any deficiencies or abnormalities that may be present. Darkfield Microscopy shows nutritional deficiencies, gut problems, underlying infections, bacteria presence, autoimmune reactions, and much more. Microscopy was invented almost 400 years ago and has expanded through technology such as video cameras and monitors, that now allow for immediate, beneficial visual information.
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.

Normal Forgetfulness or Dementia?
As we age, it’s normal to experience more frequent instances of memory loss. Some common symptoms of normal memory loss include transience, when the brain forgets some memories over time, and absentmindedness, where you may forget something because you weren’t focused on it. Other factors can also contribute to normal memory loss, such as depression and other mental health issues. Memory loss that involves the following can be cause for concern and should be addressed by a doctor: 1) Forgetting important information, like names. 2) Being extremely disoriented in unfamiliar environments. 3) Major personality changes like aggressiveness or impulsivity.
