How We Helped Mrs. Henderson Beat the Calgary Snow

Last Tuesday night, Calgary was blanketed in a heavy, surprise snowfall. For Mrs. Henderson, an 82-year-old widow living in the northwest, the beautiful sight quickly turned into a source of stress. Her driveway and steps were impassable, trapping her inside and creating a serious fall hazard.

Mrs. Henderson's son, David, lives in Vancouver and felt helpless watching the forecasts. He knew his mom relied on him or a neighbour, but with the neighbour out of town, Mrs. Henderson was facing a difficult situation. She had a morning appointment and simply couldn't risk leaving her home.

The Sunny Solution:

David called us that morning, worried and stressed. Because we offer seasonal snow removal as part of our Outdoor & Property Maintenance services, we were able to dispatch a helper immediately. Within two hours of David's call, our helper, Jana, was at Mrs. Henderson’s home.

Jana didn't just clear the main walkway; he also salted the steps and the path to the mailbox, ensuring complete safety. When Mrs. Henderson looked out her window, she saw a perfectly clear path to her world.

The Result: Peace of Mind

That morning, Mrs. Henderson was able to get to her appointment safely and without panic. David was immensely relieved, knowing his mother was safe and her property maintained. He told us, "It’s not just the cleared snow, it’s knowing she’s taken care of, especially when I’m so far away. That's true peace of mind."

At Sunny Senior Services, we believe that safety shouldn't be a luxury. Our goal is to ensure that a simple thing like a Calgary snowstorm never prevents you or your loved one from living life on your own terms.
