Personal Alert Assistance Program

Did you know you or a loved one could be covered under the Nova Scotia Government’s Personal Alert Assistance Program? If the criteria are met, the senior could be reimbursed up to $480 per year for the purchase of a personal emergency response system, like the service Northwood Intouch offers. That means peace of mind could come at a much lower price tag than you may think.
