Life Assure Medical Alert Canada

What Is A Medical Alert System?

A medical alert system is a wearable device, usually a necklace or bracelet, that helps seniors call for emergency help 24/7. When the button is pressed, it connects the user through two-way voice communication to a Medical Alert Specialist, who can assess the situation and send emergency services or caregivers to the user’s location.

How Does A Medical Alert System Work?

Once the button on the device is pressed, it connects the user to the monitoring centre, where a Medical Alert Specialist comes on the line to assess the user’s situation, guide them through the emergency, and send help to their location. Some devices also include GPS and fall detection, so even if the user cannot speak or is unconscious, help can still be sent.

Do I Need A Landline For A Medical Alert System?

No, you do not always need a landline for a medical alert system. Life Assure offers medical alert devices that work through cellular networks, allowing users to connect to a 24/7 monitoring centre without a home phone line. Landline systems are still available, but cellular medical alert systems are ideal for seniors who no longer have a traditional phone line.

What Is Fall Detection?

Fall detection is a medical alert feature that automatically detects when a user may have fallen and sends an alert to the monitoring centre. If the user cannot press the help button or speak, a Medical Alert Specialist can still assess the situation and send emergency services to the user’s location.

Can I Wear A Medical Alert Device In The Shower?

Yes, all devices that Life Assure offers come with a water-resistant pendant, so users can safely wear it in the shower, where many falls occur. This helps ensure seniors can call for help at any time.

How Much Does A Medical Alert System Cost?

Life Assure offers affordable medical alert systems in Canada starting at $34.95 per month. Plans include 24/7 monitoring with no hidden fees, no activation fees, and no long-term contracts.

Does A Medical Alert System Work Outside The Home?

Yes, Life Assure offers medical alert systems that work both inside and outside the home, helping seniors stay protected 24/7 with professional monitoring and fast response times. No landline, personal cell phone, or Wi-Fi connection is required.

Does A Medical Alert System Notify Caregivers?

Yes, a medical alert system can notify caregivers if they are listed as emergency contacts. When the help button is pressed, the user is connected to a 24/7 monitoring centre, where a Medical Alert Specialist assesses the situation and can contact caregivers, family members, or emergency services based on the user’s needs.
