Canada’s aging population is on the rise. According to the United Nations Population Division, by 2030, almost 23% of the population in Canada will be 65 or older. However, more seniors want to stay in their homes. A recent National Institute of Ageing (NIA) Survey found that 91 percent of Canadians of all ages, and almost 100 percent of Canadians 65 years of age and older, say that they want to live independently in their own home as long as possible.
However, as we age, day-to-day activities can become more complex because of health issues. For example, falls are the leading cause of injury-related hospitalizations among Canadian seniors, and the Public Health Agency of Canada reports between 20% and 30% of seniors fall each year.
Partnership with Liberty Smart Security
That’s why Allstate Canada is pleased to offer Liberty Alert, a personal emergency response service through our partners at Liberty Smart Security*. We understand that seniors want to maintain their independence, and we want them to do so safely. A medical alert service offers peace of mind for the family and loved ones of those who could experience medical emergencies in and out of the home.
