In the vast plains of the prairies, access to healthcare services can sometimes be a challenge. However, Prairie Stretcher Services aims to bridge this gap with their reliable and efficient transportation solutions. Whether it’s a routine medical appointment or an emergency situation, their dedicated team ensures patients reach their destinations safely and on time. With a focus on comfort and professionalism, they prioritize the well-being of those they serve. Prairie Stretcher Services plays a vital role in ensuring everyone has access to the care they need, when they need it most.

For someone with hearing loss, social situations are challenging. Help improve communication with them by following these simple tips: • Gain their attention before you begin talking. • Speak naturally & don’t shout. Speak distinctly, at a normal rate, using pauses to give the person time to process speech. • Keep your hands away from your face while talking. • Avoid sudden changes of topic. And if the subject is changed, tell them what you are talking about now. • Seat them where they can see as many faces as possible. • Check in. If you think your listener may not be following, convey the information again in shorter, clearer sentences.

When supporting someone through loss, remember these key points: Be present, as your mere presence offers comfort. Listen actively, allowing them to express their emotions freely. Acknowledge the diversity of grief and validate their feelings. Avoid minimizing their experience and instead, offer understanding. Prepare for potential anger, stemming from frustration. Provide hope for the future, reassuring them of healing. Lastly, understand that grief takes time; offer ongoing support without imposing timelines.

We all want to be healthy, however many disregard their oral cavity and teeth (whether natural or false). We forget that the body is a holistic and interconnected system, one which can only function optimally if everything runs smoothly. False teeth which have become flat over time, prevent proper mastication (chewing or breaking down) of food, which in turn will cause strain on your digestive system. It’s imperative to see the right specialist for any health issues. When it comes to dentures, see a denturist. We believe in this so strongly that we offer complimentary oral exams to ensure your optimal oral health.

Help us celebrate a remarkable milestone and pay tribute to one of the most cherished team members, Karen Snell. After 25 years of volunteerism and dedicated service as a well-respected housekeeper, Karen has exemplified professionalism, commitment, and unwavering dedication in every aspect of her work.

Throughout the years, Karen has been the heartbeat of our organization, ensuring that our homes are not just clean, but welcoming and comfortable.

Her attention to detail, tireless work ethic, and positive attitude has left an indelible mark on our community, earning the admiration and respect of fellow staff members, volunteers, and residents alike.

As we reflect on Karen’s incredible journey with us, we are filled with gratitude for her invaluable contributions and unwavering dedication.

KAREN, ON BEHALF OF SASKATOON SERVICES FOR SENIORS STAFF, AND VOLUNTEERS, WE EXTEND OUR HEARTFELT THANKS AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THIS MOMENTOUS OCCASION.

March is Nutrition month, and Saskatoon Services for Seniors is excited to join in the celebration of healthy eating habits for seniors in our community!

As we age, maintaining a nutritious diet becomes increasingly important for overall health and well-being. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing seniors with the support they need to lead healthier lifestyles.

Throughout Nutrition month, let’s explore the benefits of a balanced diet, share practical tips for meal planning and preparation, and debunk common myths about aging and nutrition.

But what’s a celebration without delicious food? To kick off Nutrition Month, we’re excited to share a couple of mouth-watering recipes that are nutritious and easy to prepare:

Grilled Salmon with Roasted Vegetables

• 4 Salmon Fillets ( any fish will do)
• 2 cups vegetables of choice (zucchini, tomatoes, cooked peas, carrots)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (canola or vegetable will do)
• 2 cloves of garlic minced
• 1 teaspoon dried herbs (parsley, thyme, rosemary)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Lemon wedges for serving

In a bowl toss the mixed vegetables with oil, garlic, herbs, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.

Place fish fillets and seasoned vegetables in a cooking pan in the oven at 350ºF and cook until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Garnish with lemon wedges for a burst of citrus flavour.

This nutritious and delicious recipe is packed with omega-3 fatty acids, protein, and a variety of vitamins and minerals to support optimal health and vitality. Plus, it’s quick and easy to prepare, making it a perfect meal for busy seniors.
