Today more than ever your support is extremely valuable. Your support helps progress our services while playing a vital role in keeping seniors independent. Our generous supporters help to supplement the cost to some of our low income seniors in the community, as well as fund programs that are free to any senior like our Friendly Caller program. 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. Please visit our website at www.saskatoonservicesforseniors.ca and show your support for seniors today!

Friendly Caller Program
Our friendly caller program is free and run by staff, volunteers and social work practicum students that are passionate about working with seniors. We aim to decrease social isolation in the Saskatoon senior population by providing social phone calls to those who would benefit from social interaction. If you or someone you know could benefit from this program please contact us today.
Giving to a Senior
This year, give your senior relatives a gift they’ll really appreciate. Instead of another fluffy blanket or picture frame, consider one of our programs for the seniors in your life. You can purchase some housekeeping, snow shoveling, yardwork for next summer or even some lawn cutting. A useful gift that they will truly appreciate!
Urban Camp Program
There are still spots available on our Urban Camp Program for this winter. Urban camp looks after your fall raking of leaves, all snow shovels during the winter and a spring raking of leaves, ALL FOR A ONE TIME FEE. This Program is great for seniors that are on a fixed income as it is only a one-time fee and looks after your snow all winter long. If you would like to sign up or looking for more information on this program contact our office today.
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.
Staying Active During the Holidays
A body in motion stays in motion; a body at rest stays at rest. It’s easy to get lazy during the holiday season! While it’s OK to take a couple of days off to celebrate with family and friends, don’t forget to keep the momentum going during the holiday season by celebrating with activities rather than just relaxation. Bundle up and get outside to skate or toboggan with family and friends, or go for a walk to check out the neighbours’ holiday lights! If it’s too cold out, book a bowling party, go axe throwing, or try laser tag. Your body will thank you!
