No landline required
Holo Alert runs on Canadian LTE, so it works wherever cellular service reaches. There is no phone jack to find, no base station to install, and nothing to schedule with a technician.
Holo Alert vs Lifeline Canada
A medical alert built for the life you live now.

Why Holo Alert
Designed for today, simple from the first day.
A medical alert should not feel complicated. One Canadian-owned pendant, one clear monthly price, and the things that protect you most already included. No technician visit, no home phone, no extra decisions.
Fall detection already built in
You should not have to make a separate decision about safety. Automatic fall detection is included in every Holo Alert plan, ready from the moment the device arrives.
Clear pricing, before you call
Holo Alert is one plan at $49.95 a month, written plainly on the page. You can compare what it costs without picking up the phone or sitting through a sales conversation.
Built for real life
A pendant, a plan, a quiet confidence.
Ready when it arrives
No technician visit. No home phone. We help you set it up.
Holo Alert is built to be easy to start. The pendant arrives charged and ready, with one short test call to your monitoring centre. A Canadian care team member walks you through it the first time, so you know exactly how it works before you slide it on for the day.
Your day does not have to get smaller
The cottage, the trail, the friend you keep meaning to visit.
A medical alert should support your routines, not shrink them. Holo Alert moves with you wherever Canadian LTE reaches: around the house, out for a walk, at the grocery store, on a drive to see the grandkids. Life does not only happen at home, and your support should not stop at the door.
Quiet support, when it is needed
If help is needed, the device connects you.
Press the button, or let automatic fall detection do it for you, and the pendant connects you to a Canadian-monitored response centre. A trained operator speaks with you, listens, and coordinates help based on the situation. Fall detection is built into every plan, with no upgrade and no second pendant to wear.

Why families choose Holo Alert
What people tell us matters most.
- 01
"I do not want a landline."
Holo Alert is built around Canadian LTE, so there is no phone jack, no base station, and no technician visit. It works in homes that already left the landline behind, and in homes that still have one but would rather keep things simple.
- 02
"I want to know the price before I commit."
Holo Alert is one clear monthly cost, $49.95, written on the page so you can think about it on your own time. There is no quote call required, and no pressure to find out what it costs.
- 03
"I want something my parent will actually wear."
A medical alert only protects you if it is on you. Holo Alert is a single small pendant, IP67-rated for everyday wear, designed to settle into a routine instead of standing out. Fall detection is already built in, with no second device to remember.
- 04
"I want help available beyond the house."
Holo Alert reaches a Canadian-monitored response centre wherever cellular service is available, so support follows the day rather than ending at the door. That matters for walks, errands, drives, and the parts of life that happen outside the living room.
- 05
"I want a Canadian company I can reach."
Holo Alert is owned and answered in Canada. The care team is here, the monitoring centre is here, the billing is in Canadian dollars, and the people on the other end of the phone understand the geography you live in.
From real Canadians
What it feels like to wear Holo Alert.
“It was a good experience. The agents where very pleasant and easy to understand.”
“Works good loud and clear happy have unit since starting winter falls are more likely to happen and get help”
“I am so thankful that i received the Holo device fall detector. I feel much more secure now.”
Common questions
Questions worth asking before you choose.
Both are Canadian-monitored medical alert providers. Holo Alert is built around a single LTE pendant with fall detection and a caregiver app already included, and pricing published on the page. Lifeline Canada offers a wider product line including landline-based HomeSafe units and an On the Go pendant, with fall detection (AutoAlert) sold as a $15 a month add-on and pricing available by phone. The right choice depends on what fits your routine.
No. Holo Alert runs on Canadian LTE cellular and includes its own connection. There is no router to set up, no phone jack to find, and no Wi-Fi to configure. If cellular service reaches your home, Holo Alert is ready.
Automatic fall detection is included in every Holo Alert plan and active by default. There is no separate pendant to wear and no upgrade fee. Lifeline’s AutoAlert fall detection is a $15 per month add-on; The Senior List’s 2025 hands-on testing measured AutoAlert detecting 5 of 10 simulated falls.
Yes. Holo Alert is a mobile pendant with GPS that works wherever Canadian LTE reaches: around the house, on a walk, at the grocery store, on the road. Lifeline’s HomeSafe is in-home only with a 250 to 300 foot button range; their On the Go pendant is the comparable mobile option.
A few practical questions: Is fall detection included or extra? Is there a landline or contract requirement? Where is the monitoring centre, and how is it certified? Is the price clear in writing? Does the device work outside the home? Is there a caregiver app for family? The answers will tell you whether the system fits your real day.
Place your Holo Alert order, then call your current provider to wind down service. Once your Holo device arrives we will help set it up over the phone. There is no overlap or gap in coverage if you keep both active for a few days.
No. Holo Alert runs on Canadian LTE cellular and includes its own connection. There is no router to set up, no phone line to test, and no Wi-Fi to configure.
