How a Medical Alert System Works
Looking For a
Medical Alert System?
Alone and worried about falling or needing help with a health problem?
You’re not alone. More than 1.6 million Canadian seniors experienced a fall last year.
But for older adults who want to age in place, a medical alert system can help you live by yourself longer without sacrificing your safety.
With the press of a wearable call button, a medical alert system can put you in touch with a dispatcher who can summon first responders or contact a family member in the event of an emergency.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you want a home-based or mobile system?
Medical alert systems were first designed to work with your landline. Today, however, many companies offer mobile options. Someone who doesn’t leave the house often might not need a mobile system, while an active older adult may want protection outside the home.
The systems we recommend are monitored, meaning that the call button connects you with our 24/7 emergency response center, staffed by our highly trained medical alert experts. You can rest assured that any time the call button is pressed, there is someone ready to answer the call who is an expert at providing help in these situations.
Should your system be monitored or not?
Some companies offer the option of fall detection features for an additional monthly fee. Manufacturers say these devices sense falls when they occur and automatically contact the dispatch center, just as they would if you had pressed the call button. The fall detection feature might not detect all falls. If you do fall, do not wait for the automatic call, always press and hold the button for help when possible.
Should you add a fall-detection feature?
Can you purchase this for my family member or friend?
The end user of the service does not have to be the person responsible for payment. If you’re a caregiver, you can get the service for your loved one, and have the bill sent to you.
Is LivingWell Companion Go water resistant? Can I wear it in the shower?
All LivingWell Companion devices come in highly water-resistant shells that are splash — and rain — resistant. LivingWell Companion Go is waterproof.
