Safety & Monitoring
Help is one button, or sensor, away.
Systems that summon help fast and give families peace of mind, from medical alert pendants to fall detection and senior monitoring systems.
Medical Alert Systems
A wearable button that connects to a 24/7 monitoring centre, at home or on the go.
Typical cost: $20–$60/month (+ optional $50–$100 device)
Fall Detection
Sensors that automatically call for help when a fall is detected, even if the button isn't pressed.
Typical cost: $10–$20/month add-on
Senior Monitoring Systems
Sensors, wearables, and apps that let family check in on a senior's activity, wellbeing, and safety from a distance.
Typical cost: $20–$80/month
Medication Management
Automatic dispensers, reminder apps, and pharmacy blister-packs that keep doses on schedule.
Typical cost: $50–$100 device or $10–$40/month
Emergency Response Systems
Personal emergency response systems (PERS) that link a senior to help at the press of a button.
Typical cost: $20–$60/month
Grants & funding
Most monitoring is a monthly subscription paid out of pocket; some provincial programs, veterans' benefits, or private insurance help. Prescribed devices may count toward the Medical Expense Tax Credit.
