How it works

When you need us, here is exactly what happens

Three steps. Moments, not hours.

01

You press the button. Or you do not have to.

One press calls for help from anywhere in Canada. And if you fall and cannot press it, automatic fall detection calls for you.

02

A live care team member answers through the device.

A real person in our Canadian response centre speaks with you in moments, confirms what you need, and stays with you.

03

The right help is on the way.

Emergency services, a neighbour, or your family. Our team sends the right help to your location and notifies your emergency contacts.

All of this, from $49.95/month

Local support

Provincial programs worth knowing about

Supports that help people stay in their own homes here. Holo Alert is not affiliated with any of them, and eligibility is decided by the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador.

01

Home Support Program

Provides in-home assistance so people can keep living safely at home, including personal care, help with mobility, light housekeeping, meal preparation and respite for family caregivers.

Residents aged 65 and over with an assessed care need may be eligible, as may people with disabilities, people receiving end of life care, and anyone needing short term support after a hospital stay.

Government of Newfoundland and Labrador
02

Home Modification Program

Provides a forgivable loan of up to $15,000 as of the 2026 budget for accessibility work such as handrails, grab bars, accessible showers and ramps.

Homeowners who need an accessibility modification, with household income up to $51,500, or $65,000 in Labrador, may be eligible. An occupational therapist recommendation is required for major work such as bathroom changes or ramps.

Government of Newfoundland and Labrador
03

Special Assistance Program

Provides basic medical supplies and assistive equipment for daily living, including dressings, oxygen equipment, braces, wheelchairs, walkers and commodes.

Residents living in the community rather than a long term care home, who need supplies or equipment for daily living and meet the financial requirements, may be eligible.

Government of Newfoundland and Labrador
04

Aging Well at Home Grant

For the 2025 to 2026 intake, this grant provided $400 a year toward household and health related services such as snow clearing, home cleaning, and grocery or prescription delivery. Amounts and intake dates change from year to year, so confirm the current details with the province.

Residents aged 65 and over who own or rent a home, with household net income no more than $32,700 for a single applicant or $50,000 for a couple, may be eligible.

Government of Newfoundland and Labrador

Program details and eligibility change over time; confirm with each program directly. Holo Alert is independent and not affiliated with these programs.

Made for Newfoundland and Labrador

Choosing a device and getting it shipped here

Holo Alert comes as a pendant, a wrist device or a watch, and the choice usually comes down to how you like to wear things. The Holo Pro is a light pendant with fall detection always on and a caregiver app for family who have moved away. The Holo Mini sits on the wrist and is the smallest of them, with a lanyard and belt clip available if the wrist is not for you. The Holo Active looks like an ordinary watch and adds heart rate and body temperature readings.

Ordering takes a few minutes. Shipping is free to every address in the province, from St. John's to Corner Brook to Happy Valley Goose Bay, and the device arrives ready to wear. Nothing to install, no base station hunting for an outlet, no technician visit to arrange around the ferry schedule. Every device is water resistant enough for the shower and charges on a small magnetic cradle overnight, the way a phone does.

When the button is pressed, a care team member in Canada answers through the device itself. Fall detection makes that call automatically if a hard fall registers. Plans start at $49.95 a month, and the first ten days are risk free, so you can wear it through a real week of weather before deciding anything.

  • Free shipping to every address in the province, Labrador included
  • A choice of pendant, wrist and watch styles
  • Fall detection included on every plan, at no extra charge
  • Shower safe, with a magnetic charger that lives on the nightstand
  • 10-day risk-free guarantee on every order

Built for Newfoundland and Labrador

What comes with every Holo Alert plan here

Everything a medical alert should do, wherever your day takes you.

Fall detection on every plan

Included at no extra charge, whichever device you choose. If a hard fall registers, the call goes out on its own. It does not catch every fall, so press the button whenever you can.

Talk through the device itself

Two-way voice means you speak with a Canadian care team member from wherever you are standing, without going to find a phone.

Free shipping across the province

Every order ships free to any address in Newfoundland and Labrador, and the device arrives ready to wear, with no installation and no technician visit.

Ten days to change your mind

Wear it through a normal week. If it is not right, return it in original condition inside the 10-day window for a full refund.

Caregiver app on the Holo Pro

Family can see location, receive alerts and ring the device, which matters when the closest relative is a flight away rather than a drive.

Watch styles with health readings

The Holo Active puts heart rate and body temperature beside the SOS button, on a device that reads as a regular smartwatch.

Common hesitations

If you are thinking "not yet", read this first

Every customer started with one of these.

I am still active. I do not need one yet.

Most falls happen to active people doing everyday things. One in three seniors falls each year, and most did not see it coming. Holo Alert is like a seatbelt: you wear it hoping you never need it, and it is already there if you do.

The best time to get protected is before you need it.

I do not want to wear something that looks medical.

Neither do our customers. The Holo Active looks like a modern smartwatch, and the Holo Pro pendant is small enough to tuck under a shirt. No one has to know unless you tell them.

Protection that looks like a watch, not a warning label.

My phone already has fall detection.

A phone is not built for emergencies. It needs daily charging, it can be out of reach, and it calls 911 rather than a trained care team member who knows your situation and who to contact. Holo Alert works on its own, with a single press or an automatic alert.

A phone across the room is not a safety plan.

It is probably complicated to set up.

Your device arrives programmed, charged, and ready to wear. Then our care team calls you to run a live test together and answer every question. Most people are fully set up in about five minutes.

If you can open a box, you can set up Holo Alert.

FAQ

Questions from Newfoundland and Labrador families, answered

Everything you need to know before you decide.

Shipping is free anywhere in the province, including Labrador and small coastal communities. Delivery timing depends on the carrier, the weather and how far you are from a main route, so a care team member can give you a realistic window when you order rather than a guess. Your 10-day risk-free period starts once the device is in your hands.

It works wherever there is wireless coverage. Coverage across Labrador and along long stretches of highway is genuinely uneven, and where there is no cellular service the device cannot reach anyone. Before you order, give a care team member the addresses and routes that matter to you and they will tell you honestly whether it is worth doing.

A medical alert system can provide peace of mind for you and your loved ones if you're concerned about getting help during an emergency. It's especially beneficial if you live alone, have a history of falls, take medications that affect balance, have mobility issues, or chronic health conditions. Medical alert systems are also valuable if you want to maintain your independence while ensuring help is always available at the touch of a button. If you're worried about your safety or your family has expressed concerns about you living alone, a medical alert system is a smart investment that can help you stay safe and independent in your own home.

No, you don't need a landline or wifi for Holo Alert systems. Our devices use cellular technology and work anywhere with 4G LTE coverage across Canada. This means you stay protected whether you're at home, in your garden, or out in the community. The cellular connection is built right into the device, so there's no need for a home phone line or internet connection. This gives you the freedom to live independently while staying connected to help 24/7.

The best medical alert systems in Canada offer reliable 24/7 monitoring, fall detection, GPS tracking, and cellular connectivity without requiring a landline. Key features to look for include waterproof design, two-way communication, North American-based monitoring centers, and nationwide cellular coverage. Holo Alert offers both the Holo Pro (with advanced fall detection and up to 7-day battery life) and Holo Mini (compact emergency alert device) designed specifically for Canadian seniors. When choosing a system, consider battery life, coverage area, monthly costs, and whether the device works both at home and on-the-go across Canada.

Yes, Holo Alert systems work in rural areas across Canada. Our devices use 4G LTE cellular networks to provide reliable coverage in most rural locations where you have cell phone service. Since we don't require landlines or wifi, you can stay protected even in remote areas. However, cellular coverage can vary by location and carrier. We recommend checking the cellular coverage in your specific area, and our team can help verify service availability before you order. If you have cell phone service at your location, Holo Alert will likely work for you.

No worries! Accidental button presses happen and it's actually a good way to test that your system is working properly. Simply tell the monitoring specialist that it was an accidental press when they answer your call. Our trained operators understand that false alarms occur and will quickly verify that you're okay. There's no penalty or extra charge for accidental activations. We'd rather you press the button when you don't need help than hesitate to use it during a real emergency.

Medical alert systems use built-in sensors called accelerometers to detect sudden changes in movement that indicate a fall. When a fall is detected, the device automatically connects you to our 24/7 monitoring center within seconds. You can also manually activate the system anytime by pressing the help button. Our specialists can assess your situation through the device's two-way speaker and send help if needed. You can cancel false alarms if you're okay. While highly accurate, we recommend always pressing your help button manually when you need assistance.

Still have a question? Call 1-888-445-0192 and a care team member will answer it.

Plans from $49.95/mo · Free shipping · 10-day risk-free guarantee · No long-term contract

Fall detection does not detect all falls. Gradual slides, slow collapses, or certain movements may not trigger an alert. Customers should press the SOS button manually if able.

Location accuracy varies and may be affected by network availability, indoor environments, and other factors.

Holo Alert does not replace 911 or emergency medical services.

Monthly plans are billed month to month with no contract or cancellation fee. Annual plans are billed for the full year upfront at a reduced rate and include a free device. Annual plans are non-refundable after the 10-day risk-free guarantee period. Both plan types are covered by the 10-day risk-free guarantee when you first sign up.

Statistics cited reflect publicly available Canadian public health data and industry research on falls among older adults and emergency response outcomes; sources are noted alongside each figure. Government program details change over time and should be confirmed with each program directly.
