Providing excellence in care, shelter and support since 1955

Welcome Karen Harilstad!

Karen Harilstad, member of the LutherCare Communities Board of Directors, smiling warmly.

We’re pleased to share that Karen Harilstad has joined the LutherCare Communities team as a member of our Board of Directors. Karen’s time with us began in 2017 as a board member, where she quickly became known for her leadership and financial insight. After stepping away in 2020 for personal time, she returned in 2024 following her retirement, bringing with her a renewed passion for service and community care.

Since early 2024, Karen has been deeply involved in volunteering at long-term care facilities and in spiritual care, offering her time and heart to those who need it most. Her compassion and dedication have made a lasting impression on everyone she works with.

Beyond LutherCare, Karen is a committed community volunteer through the Saskatoon Lion’s Club, where she supports individuals facing hardship. Whether she’s lending a hand or leading an initiative, Karen brings clarity, kindness, and a genuine desire to make a difference. Now serving on our Finance and Audit Committee, Karen continues to lead with integrity and vision. Her belief in ethical leadership and community connection aligns strongly with our mission, and her presence is already making a positive impact.

Karen’s goal is simple but powerful: to help create a place where people feel truly at home. We’re incredibly grateful for her efforts and excited for the ideas and leadership she will bring to LutherCare. Welcome Karen!

We adapt to your comfort level and specific needs to ensure every visit is safe, effective, and reassuring.

Regular footcare helps prevent complications, supports mobility, and promotes overall independence.

Convenient scheduling that fits your routine, whether you prefer in-home or community-site visits.

We provide care in a private, respectful, and relaxing environment — right in your home or at one of our clinic locations.

Our Footcare Nurses are licensed and trained in advanced footcare techniques, infection control, and diabetic foot health.

We make payments straightforward so you can start, pause, or adjust services anytime without obligation of pressure.

Booking and adjusting visits is simple and convenient. We work around your preferred times and make changes when you need or your routine shifts.

We believe care should be flexible and stress-free. There are no long-term contracts or hidden commitments — you can start, pause, or adjust services as needed. Whether you require short-term assistance or ongoing support, we’re here to help when you need us, without obligation.

Our team members complete comprehensive orientation and ongoing training, such as Personal Care Worker Certificate, Dementia Training, Gentle Persuasion Approach Training, Transitioning, Lifting and Repositioning (TLR) Certificate, Food Safe, First Aid, and WHIMIS 2015. They consistently demonstrate reliability, empathy, and respect in every interaction, adhering to safety and confidentiality standards.
With Home Help, you can trust that your care is in capable, caring hands.
Each caregiver completes a Criminal Record Check and Vulnerable Sector Check, and undergoes ongoing training — but just as importantly, they bring warmth, respect, and genuine care to every visit.

We value transparency and collaboration. Our team keeps family members informed and involved, offering updates on progress, changes in care needs, or any concerns that may arise. This open communication helps families feel confident and connected, even when they can’t be there in person.

Life changes, and so do your care needs. Our personalized care plans are designed to evolve with you — whether you need more frequent visits, additional services, or short-term recovery support. We regularly review and adjust care plans through open communication and assessments, ensuring you always receive the right level of care.

We understand that every client’s schedule and needs are unique. That’s why we offer flexible service hours — whether you need occasional help or regular weekly visits. Our team works around your preferred days and times, ensuring that support fits seamlessly into your routine. From light housekeeping to personal care, we adapt our services to suit your lifestyle and comfort.
