Our comparison standards

How we check Canadian medical alert prices, device features and service terms.

What we compare

Senior.ca compares medical alert devices and plans available in Canada, using provider product pages, ordering pages and service terms.

We separate the provider, device and exact offer. A month-to-month plan and a one-year offer for the same device are shown separately.

Prices, fees and commitments

A base 12-month subtotal is the monthly price multiplied by 12, plus listed activation. When an optional fall-detection add-on is selected, the comparison includes its confirmed monthly cost. Tax, equipment, shipping and unconfirmed fees are excluded and must be checked in a written quote.

Discounts that depend on eligibility are explained separately. An unconfirmed price is not treated as zero.

Sources and review dates

Each plan links to the provider information used and shows when it was checked. Prices, configurations and offers can change after that date.

Unclear prices, feature inclusions and cancellation terms remain unconfirmed until there is sufficient evidence.

Scope of the comparison

We have not tested the devices, monitoring response times, fall-detection accuracy or customer service. These are published-information comparisons, not hands-on reviews or clinical recommendations.

The directory does not include every Canadian provider. Providers are displayed alphabetically, and an editorial listing does not establish a commercial relationship.
