Why Give? Because Connections Can’t Wait.
Meet Gayle. When she retired, life did not get smaller. Thanks to SCOA’s programs, it’s gotten bigger.
When Gayle accepted a friend's invitation to the Seniors Neighbourhood Hub Club two years ago, she found connection that made retirement truly fulfilling. A core program of the Saskatoon Council on Aging (SCOA), the free monthly events offer presentations, light exercise, and entertainment—but for Gayle, the best part is the fellowship.
A Caregiving Journey
Caregiving can be an overwhelming responsibility, especially for families dealing with conditions like dementia. For Colleen and her family, the assistance of a volunteer named Leslie has made all the difference. Nav-CARE was developed to meet the needs of persons living at home with chronic illness and declining health.
A Nav-CARE volunteer helps people to
identify what is most important to them – their changing quality of life priorities.
The Nav-CARE program is made
possible through Saskatoon Council on Aging -
Caregiver Information and
Support Centre.
