Brain Teaser Answer

It takes one elf 5 minutes to make one doll. Therefore 100 elves making 100 dolls would, of course, still take 5 minutes!

A Gift for Your Family

Making final arrangements ahead of time is a wise and considerate decision. This guarantees that your wishes are observed and spares your family from undue pressure at a time of great emotional stress. Having final plans in place is a blessing when passing is anticipated. With an unexpected death, they are even more important. An unexpected death can bring overwhelming grief, guilt and anger. These feelings can make it very difficult to plan an end-of-life service that respects the wishes of a loved one. Preplanning is a special gift to give your family. We can help.

What is Personal Care?

Personal care includes services that help assist seniors and other individuals with various tasks and activities in their daily life, such as bathing, eating, walking and dressing. Services are customized based on the individual’s needs and include companionship that makes a day more pleasant – whether you’re at home or out in the community. Personal care is centered around a meaningful relationship that is built over time with a caring and responsive healthcare professional. It is important for your loved one to be able to live their lives in the way they want. We can help.

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.
