This is your crash course in Life Assure, the genius tool helping millions of Canadian sandwich-ers keep their peace of mind while providing round-the-clock protection.

Here's what to know.

How it works

Life Assure medical alert devices are tools designed to help reduce stress in the lives of you and your parents. It's essentially a water-resistant push-button pendant, worn as a necklace or wristband, and in an emergency, it can be pressed to immediately connect with a medical alert specialist. 

The devices connect to a Life Assure-trained professional who is ready to assist, and a two-way voice communication allows the specialist to determine if the individual is safe. Operators work with 24/7/365-day monitoring centres to provide care around the clock. It's also equipped with an ultra-sensitive microphone with a 600-foot range, which means sounds can be heard from all corners of the home.

Emergency help is sent, even if your parents cannot speak to the representative, or a representative cannot hear anything back. 

The Classic Home

Life Assure offers two device options, the Classic Home for $34.95 per month and the Premium Mobile Plus for $54.95 per month, both of which come with optional automatic fall detection.

The Classic Home is Life Assure's flagship product, and uses industry-leading technology to keep seniors safe while they continue to live independently. 

Meanwhile, the all-encompassing Life Assure Premium Mobile Plus provides even further protection for aging parents, even if they're out on the town or talking a walk in the park. Protection on-the-go is quite literally at your fingertips.

Seniors can keep their independence and continue living their lives, knowing that they are protected. GPS location technology helps individuals be located quickly if assistance is needed.

Trust Life Assure's pristine reputation

It's practical and accessible care without long-term contracts or hidden fees, giving families an affordable way to delay or even avoid higher-cost care. Compare the cost to in-home care or even assisted living, where prices can reach $2,500 to $6,000 a month.

Why it matters

Falls are a leading cause of injury and hospitalization for seniors; 43 per cent of adults 70+ fall each year, with 61 per cent of those falls occurring while walking, and 50 per cent inside the home. That's why Life Assure could be a pretty clear-cut decision when it comes to caring for your parents.
