Local support
Territorial programs worth knowing about
Supports that help elders stay in their own homes. Holo Alert is not affiliated with any of them, and eligibility is decided by the Government of Nunavut.
Home, Community and Continuing Care
Provides assessed home based nursing, personal care, homemaking, respite and rehabilitation support so people can stay as independent as possible. The program operates in every Nunavut community.
Anyone enrolled in the Nunavut Health Care Plan may be referred based on assessed need arising from illness, surgery, disability, poor health or age. Self referrals, and referrals from family or health professionals, are accepted.
Government of Nunavut, Department of HealthSenior Citizen Supplementary Benefit
Pays $300 a month to eligible elders with lower incomes, alongside federal Old Age Security and Guaranteed Income Supplement or Spouse's Allowance payments. Enrolment is automatic once taxes are filed.
Nunavut residents aged 60 and over who receive the federal Guaranteed Income Supplement or Spouse's Allowance may be eligible.
Government of Nunavut, Department of Family ServicesSeniors Fuel Subsidy
Offsets home heating fuel costs for elder homeowners. The current program page states reimbursement of up to 3,500 litres a year, while a more recent territorial elders strategy cites up to 4,000 litres, so confirm the figure with the department before you plan around it.
Permanent Nunavut residents aged 60 and over who own and occupy the home, apply annually and do not receive social assistance may be eligible. Net household income up to $75,000 may qualify for full assistance, with reduced assistance up to $100,000.
Government of Nunavut, Department of Family ServicesElders Housing Program
An aging in place program offering an annual $5,000 preventative maintenance grant and a one time grant of up to $30,000 for accessibility work such as ramps and grab bars, along with heating, plumbing, electrical and fire or carbon monoxide safety upgrades.
Households where at least one applicant is 60 or older, or receives a Disability Benefit, may be eligible. The applicant must hold title or leasehold title and occupy the home as their principal residence within municipal boundaries.
Nunavut Housing CorporationProgram details and eligibility change over time; confirm with each program directly. Holo Alert is independent and not affiliated with these programs.
Made for Nunavut
What a medical alert system looks like in Nunavut
Snow is on the ground here most of the year, and no community is joined to another by road. Iqaluit has the territory's only acute care hospital, and most elders live somewhere else. Medical travel is a normal part of life rather than an exception. None of that changes the day to day: the sewing, the visiting, the grandchildren coming through the door without knocking. It is simply the backdrop against which a small wearable device is either useful or it is not.
Holo Alert is worn on a pendant or on the wrist. Press the button and a live care team member in Canada speaks to you through the device itself. If a hard fall registers and you cannot press anything, the device makes that call on its own. There is no landline to keep and no home internet to arrange, because the wireless connection is inside the device. That is also the honest limit: where there is no cellular service, the device cannot reach anyone.
So this is a phone call, not a checkout page. Tell a Canadian care team member which community you live in and where you spend your days, and they will look at what coverage actually exists there. If it works for your situation, they will say which device suits. If it does not, they will say that plainly and you will have lost nothing but a few minutes.
- Works wherever there is wireless coverage in your community
- No landline, no home internet and no smartphone needed
- Fall detection places the call if you cannot press the button yourself
- A live Canadian care team, awake through the dark months
- Plans from $49.95 a month, about $1.65 a day
Built for Nunavut
What you get with Holo Alert in Nunavut
Everything a medical alert should do, wherever your day takes you.
Fall detection, included
Every Holo Alert plan includes fall detection at no extra charge. If a hard fall registers, the device calls on its own. It does not catch every fall, so press the button whenever you can.
Two-way voice, from the device
Speak with a Canadian care team member through the device you are wearing, rather than trying to reach a phone in another room.
Straight talk about coverage
The device needs a wireless signal to work. A care team member checks your community and address with you first, and says plainly when the answer is no.
Answered around the clock
North American monitoring stations are staffed every hour of the year, through the dark months and the bright ones.
Family can stay in the loop
The Holo Pro pairs with a caregiver app, so family in Iqaluit or in another community can check in without a string of phone calls.
Health readings on the watch styles
The Holo Active shows heart rate and body temperature beside the SOS button, on a watch that looks like a watch.

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.

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.
