Assurity™
The Mark of Quality in Home Health & Independent Living
Choosing the right home health or independent living provider is a significant decision, and it’s not always easy. Knowing what to look for and the right questions to ask can make all the difference. That’s where Assurity™ comes in to help guide you with your decision-making.
Assurity™ is a quality assurance certification program developed by the experts at EngAge BC to simplify the process of choosing a home health or independent living organization that upholds industry quality standards.
What Does Assurity™ Certification Mean?
Assurity™ certification indicates that a provider has demonstrated their organization’s commitment to upholding industry quality standards in areas that matter most for seniors and their families when choosing a service provider, including privacy, safety, client or resident onboarding, emergency preparedness, and client satisfaction.
During the certification process, EngAge BC evaluates the organization’s policies, practices, and procedures against a set of industry criteria and quality measures. To maintain active Assurity™ status, an organization must renew their certification every two years.

How Was Assurity™ Developed?
The Assurity™ quality assurance certification was created because consumers were looking for a trusted resource that could help them choose which independent living residence or home health provider was best for them.
Assurity™ was developed from the ground up by collaborating with B.C.’s top home health and independent living professionals. EngAge BC also met with older adults and their family members to consult about the things that were most important to them when choosing a place to live or accessing in-home support. Using fresh ideas and feedback from both operators and users of these services, Assurity™ was created to help you make informed choices with confidence.
