Help Support Seniors in Our Community today!

All support is extremely valuable, be it donations, volunteer time or simply word-of-mouth. It is the people of Saskatoon that enable us to continue helping the city’s venerable population. Your generous donations help us progress our services while playing a vital role in keeping seniors independent. Every dollar of support stays right here in Saskatoon. We have many lower-income seniors that need our services, and the generosity of your support allows us to be able to assist them. Donations of $20 or over will get a tax receipt. We graciously accept cheques, cash, or e-transfer.

Hip Mobility for Pain Prevention

Hip mobility is essential for maintaining proper alignment and preventing pain in other areas of the body. Tight hips can often lead to lower back or knee pain, as the joints above and below compensate for the lack of mobility in the hips. To prevent this, it’s important to incorporate hip mobility stretches into your Physiotherapy program. With effective customized treatments for improving hip mobility, we can help reduce pain in other areas of the body and improve your overall function and movement. Remember, it’s all in the hips!

Seniors Need Connection & Support

Researchers have found that loneliness is just as lethal as smoking 15 cigarettes per day. Many Canadians may not be aware of the connection between loneliness and poor nutrition and the other serious health implications. With concerns around food security and affordability also being top of mind in Canada, we know our senior population is at a higher risk for both. As an organization dedicated to caring for older adults, Home Instead is urging Canadians to join the effort in ensuring our senior loved ones are getting the care and nutrition they need and helping to end loneliness among older adults.

Plan for the Future

There are many conversations that families should have. One of those concerns your final wishes. Planning your funeral and cemetery arrangements in advance means you can discuss the options with family in a relaxed, stress-free environment. The other conversation is planning for your future health care. If you were sick and couldn’t speak for yourself, would your family know your wishes? You might be surprised by the space between what you want for future care and what your loved ones think you want. It’s important that they know your values, what is meaningful in your life, and how you would like decisions to be made.

Volunteers Needed!

Here at Saskatoon Services for Seniors we strive to make a difference every day. We do this by helping seniors to remain in their own homes safely for as long as possible. The Spring season ushers in our very popular Yard Work and Gardening programs. We encourage anyone with a heart of gold who likes working outdoors to volunteer so that seniors in our community can keep their yards and gardens looking beautiful now that winter has finally receded. If you or someone you know would be interested in helping seniors in our community, please contact our office today. All help is greatly appreciated.

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 weekly service, bi-weekly services or just when you need us. The fee involved is based on the senior’s income to keep costs manageable for low-income households. Call us to check availability.

Lawn Cutting Now Operational

Winter kept coming back this year. But it seems somebody finally got Jack Frost some NyQuil and we can resume cutting your lawns. We’re very happy to be able to provide this service for you. We offer Weekly and Bi-Weekly, or Call-In services for those who only need it occasionally. We can send out a sign-up form in regular mail or e-mail. You can even pick one up from our office and either fill it out here or get it to us later. A huge thanks for the donations and volunteers which allowed us to start quicker.
