Weight Loss & Dentures
It may come as a surprise to you, but when you lose weight, your clothes are not the only thing that you’ll notice become loose! Your weight loss can affect the fit and suction of your dentures, causing them to be uncomfortable. Weight loss causes changes to your entire body, including your mouth and gums. However, there is a solution: your Denturist can perform a simple procedure called a reline. A reline will “tighten up” your dentures so they fit well, create good suction, and feel comfortable again.

International Overdose Awareness Day
As a pharmacist, I urge you to observe International Overdose Awareness Day (IOAD) on August 31, the world’s largest annual campaign to end overdose.

Proud to Offer Local Services to Seniors
Saskatoon Services for Seniors is proud of our ability to offer many types of home support services that may be needed from time to time. We provide trained and reliable employees and volunteers – who visit clients to perform an agreed upon service, such as:
Gardening – We are delighted to have some talented gardeners ready to beautify your yard! With their skills in planting, weeding, pruning, watering and more, it’s clear they’re passionate about making outdoor spaces look their best. If anyone needs a helping hand in their yard this summer, they’d be in good hands with our gardeners. Please give us a call to make arrangements.
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.
Shopping Delivery Program – Regardless of age, we all need to eat. But those groceries can be heavy and the store can be busy and loud. Or you might not have time for it amidst all your other appointments and obligations. So let us shop on your behalf by joining our grocery program. Our members can phone or e-mail us Monday and provide us with a detailed shopping list and a store to go to. We will buy what you need and deliver it to you. We can even buy non-food items like yarn or cutlery. Maybe a gift for yourself or a loved one? And you’re not obligated to order every week. Some people even only order once to get that item from a store that’s too far from home. But slots are limited (another reason why our volunteers are so important) so contact us for more information.
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. Our very popular Yard Work and Gardening programs are in full swing. 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.
Hiring Housekeepers – Do you like cleaning up? Do you know somebody else who does? We’re looking to hire Housekeepers so you can do what you love and be paid for it. Saskatoon Services for Seniors is looking for kind souls with good work ethic to go to seniors’ homes and do laundry, cleaning, and other related tasks.
