About Us:

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!

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!

Brain Teaser Answer

It takes one elf 5 minutes to make one doll. Therefore 100 elves making 100 dolls would, of course, still take 5 minutes!
