Are you looking for a job that truly makes a difference in people’s lives? We have several positions available in our Organization from Housekeeping, Yard Work and Grocery Delivery. If you enjoy working with Seniors and helping them remain independent in their own home, contact us today.

Services include lawn cutting, spring and fall cleanup of leaves, gardening, flower beds and weeding. As with all of our services we can provide as much or as little based on what your needs are. We can also do pruning, trimming and gardening as well. As always if cost is a barrier we will work with you to overcome that barrier. During summer and fall we can also do outside window cleaning and eaves cleaning as well.

Our Urban Camp program is back again this year. This program provides spring/fall cleanup of leaves on your lawn as well as snow shoveling for the entire winter. There is just a small one time fee for this program for the entire winter season. Applications are now available and on our website at SaskatoonServicesforSeniors.ca or by calling our office at 306-668-2762 today. This program has a limited number of spots available on it so apply today before it fills up for the year. If you have any questions about this program please contact us today.

Q: Do older people need to lift weights? A: Yes, resistance training is ESSENTIAL for everyone as we age. We start to lose muscle mass regularly in our 30s, and if we don’t work to build muscle, we can become frail and weak as we age. Q: Does muscle really weigh more than fat? A: No. But muscle is denser than fat and takes up 22% less space in our bodies, so our clothes fit better! Q: I’m over 50 and my weight is fine. Why should I work out regularly? A: Working out is important for many reasons, including improved strength, endurance, and flexibility, which improves our quality of life.

Here at Saskatoon Services for Seniors we strive to make a difference every day. We do this though helping Seniors remain safely in their own homes, by helping provide services that they need. One of these key services, especially in summer, is our Grocery Delivery and Yard work programs and we are currently looking for one or two volunteers to help out. If you are interested in helping seniors in our community please contact our office today. Our grocery shoppers/delivery volunteers are needed for one to two days per week.

Today more than ever your support is extremely valuable. With the increased cost of most goods and services these days, many seniors in our community are finding it hard to find the services that they can afford. Your support helps progress our services while playing a vital role in keeping seniors independent. With your support we can help allow seniors in Saskatoon to remain independent in their own homes. With your generosity, we look to help supplement the costs associated for some of our low income seniors in the community. We also use donation to 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. Now more than ever your support will help many seniors living in Saskatoon. Please visit our website at www.saskatoonservicesforseniors.ca and show your support for seniors today!
