A lifestyle
change is imminent. Perhaps you are contemplating a move or downsizing,
moving closer to your children and grandchildren or into a retirement
residence; the prospect of relocation brings with it significant
stress, worries and unknown costs. It can be a challenging situation.
However, it doesn’t have to be one that you face alone.
With the patient,
helpful and knowledgeable guidance of a Relocation Services consultant
you can avoid being a victim of what the Better Business Bureau
calls unethical practices that tarnish the industry. Relocation
Services consultants will help you choose a reliable and conscientious
carrier. Additionally, Relocation Services can show you how to receive
a cash rebate on real estate transactions.
Get cash back on real estate transactions. Relocation Services works
with all real estate companies so you can use a representative of
your own choice or it will refer you to a top producing agent. The
first point of contact, however, must be made by Relocation Services
— even before you speak to that representative. Once the transaction
has closed, Relocation Services will offer any RCL member or their
families cash rebates on real estate transactions of up to $3.25
per $1,000 of value of their home sale and/or purchase.
A Relocation Services consultant will be your personal guide through
this time of transition by helping to simplify the process. First,
Relocation Services has preferred pricing from all the major van
lines and guaranteed pricing on long distance moves. Second, the
best part of this moving service is that you don’t pay the
mover at destination before your goods are released — thereby
taking the risk and stress out of moving. Payment is made to Relocation
Services after it has completed a comprehensive audit of all the
charges to ensure there are no errors or overcharges and that you’re
only paying what you should be.
To find out
more about Relocation Services and how it can save you time and
money, speak to one of its qualified consultants today.
When you live
alone, an unexpected fall or medical emergency can leave you cut
off from the help you need. Any delay in receiving medical care
can jeopardize your recovery. But with Lifeline, you’re never
alone—help is available at the push of a button—24 hours
a day.
Philips Lifeline
is proud to partner with The Royal Canadian Legion (RCL) to provide

ones.
Lifeline is an easy to use

living independently. Pushing the Lifeline Personal Help Button
worn on a wristband or pendant connects you to a trained Lifeline
Associate who quickly assesses your situation and dispatches help
day or night.

on a frequent basis

falls

devices to assist with walking

a medical condition
- Considering
a move to assisted living
Lifeline is trusted by healthcare professionals, hospitals and caregivers
and is the only medical alarm integrated with the healthcare system
across Canada.
William Roskus
knows first hand about security that the service provides. “Before
I got Lifeline, I had a fall and it took me five hours to get to
a phone. With Lifeline, all I did was push my button and somebody
was here within 10 minutes.”
Sue Callaghan
also finds Lifeline to be invaluable. Her father has fallen twice
and pressed his Lifeline button for help both times. “If Dad
did not have Lifeline, it could have been several hours before anyone
checked on him. With Lifeline, help was present in less than five
minutes.”
Reach for Lifeline before it’s
needed… Thousands of Canadians live more safely and independently
in their homes with Lifeline—and you can too.
