Making the transition to a senior living community is an important step. For some seniors, living independently is no longer an option, and that means a community or facility to support their additional needs. The province of Saskatchewan offers many elder housing facilities with amenities and services for a range of resident needs. But the search can be overwhelming. How do you know where to start?
A simple search of Saskatchewan senior living facilities results in pages of results. We’ve simplified this process with a list of the top Saskatchewan senior living communities. While this is a useful list to start with, if you do not find a provider in your area, you may consult our senior living directory. You can also reach out and contact us as we have professional advisors available to assist.
A Reverse Mortgage Can Help Pay for a Saskatchewan Senior Facility
Senior living communities range in price. Some are quite affordable, while others can cost a lot depending on the required services. One of the more popular ways of paying for an elderly community is with a reverse mortgage. If the person transitioning into a facility currently lives in their own home, they can convert a portion of the home’s equity into cash and use this to pay for the senior facility. This is a viable option for many seniors who find themselves in this transitional period.
Ranking The Best Senior Living Facilities in Saskatchewan
The Internet has made business reviews easier to access than ever, giving us feedback and comments on nearly anything, senior living facilities included. Our team took the time to scrutinize hundreds of Facebook and Google reviews, along with the reviews left on our site. We used this method to arrive at a rough list of top communities. Before finalizing the list, however, we consulted the Saskatchewan Ministry of Health to ensure there were no outstanding violations or citations.
On average, an assisted living in Saskatchewan costs $3,100 per month. Costs vary, and additional services can drive the price higher as additional care is needed. Specialized facilities like memory care and skilled nursing have more qualified staff available, and can cost twice as much as assisted living. Senior apartments are generally the cheapest, but no care is typically available.

I am grateful for the peace of mind I have because of the care my parent receives, since having moved in earlier this year. The staff and management are truly kind and caring; they take the extra steps, go the extra mile and treat the residents feel like family. There is always a solution and a strong can-do attitude. I’m SO glad for having made this choice for my parent’s senior living home. The facilities and apartments are beautiful, and the activities are myriad, but they would be nothing without this team.
