Here at Saskatoon Services for Seniors we strive to make a difference every day. We do this though helping Seniors remain in safely in their own homes by helping provide services that they need. One of these key services especially in winter is our Grocery Delivery and Snow Shoveling programs – in which we are currently looking for one or two volunteers to help with these programs. 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.

Help Support Seniors
Today, more than ever, your support is extremely valuable. It helps progress our services while playing a vital role in keeping seniors independent. Our generous supporters help to supplement the cost for 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 who need our services, and the generosity of your support allows us to be able to assist them. Please visit our website and show your support for seniors today!

Light Therapy for Pain
The more we understand the value of increasing circulation to our tissues, the easier it is to understand how and why low-level polychromatic light therapy (PLT) supports the body’s innate healing processes. PLT can bring about beneficial chemical reactions in nerve cells, which can stimulate healing. PLT can provide a wealth of additional health benefits that support full-body wellness. Many people with symptoms of pain or impaired circulation, such as joint pain, arthritis, and injuries, have experienced positive results from using PLT. Clients choose PLT because it’s convenient, a great value, drug-free, and can offer non-invasive healing properties.

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 regular weekly services, bi-weekly services, or just when you need us. Fees are based on the senior’s income, but if cost is a barrier, our donors can often get seniors the help they need.
