Renewing Our Energy

“Surrender to what is, let go of what was and have faith in what will be” are the many themes we are facing amid a third wave pandemic. Many of us have hit our walls of exhaustion, boredom, frustration, and isolation and desire a summer of freedom and play. Tired of being told what to do and how to do it, yet here we are banning together to keep ourselves healthy and safe. Surrender is not about giving up; it’s about letting go and grieving what you cannot control then finding and discovering the small joys in what you can do to renew your energy and set yourself free.

Housekeeping Services

Saskatoon Services for Seniors offers housekeeping services for all seniors in Saskatoon. Our staff is screened and fully insured. Our staff 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 service, bi-weekly services or just when you need us. The fee involved is based on the seniors income and if cost is a barrier, though our donors we can usually overcome this barrier to be able to get seniors the help they need.

Yardwork Services

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 you require. We can also do landscaping, pruning, trimming and edging as well. For landscaping work we look at what you require and will provide you with a rough price before we would go ahead with any work. As always if cost is a barrier we will work with you to overcome that barrier. During spring and fall we can also do outside window cleaning and eaves cleaning as well.

Thank You for Giving

Donations are what allow us to support older adults in our community. Donations help progress our services while playing a vital role in keeping seniors independent. Your donations help to supplement the cost to some of our low income seniors in our community as well fund programs that are free to any senior like our Friendly Caller program. Every dollar in donations stays right here in Saskatoon. We have many lower income seniors that need our services and the generosity of our donors allows us to be able to assist them.

Grocery / Shopping Delivery

Saskatoon Services for Seniors is proud to provide Grocery delivery to seniors and disabled adults around Saskatoon. Each week on Monday and Tuesday we contact clients to take their order and we then shop and deliver the orders on Wednesday through Friday. We will shop at the store of the Seniors choice and get only what they order. Our staff can not only shop for grocery items but health products as well as they require them. Seniors that have mobility issues can also inquire if they need assistance with the delivery and our staff can help put their items away for them as well in the home. We have a small $6 delivery fee along with a 10% administration fee.
