Assurity, The Mark of Quality

Choosing an independent living residence or home health care provider is not an easy decision. Knowing what to look for and what questions to ask can lead to a better choice.

Assurity can help you with your decision-making. The Assurity quality assurance certification was developed by the experts at EngAge BC to make it easier for seniors and their families to pick an independent living or home health organization that upholds industry standards for quality.

How do I know if an Operator is Assurity certified?

An Assurity certified independent living or home health operator will have the Assurity logo displayed on their Route 65 listing. By having the Assurity symbol, it means that the organization has made it a priority to meet or exceed industry standards in areas such as privacy, safety, client/resident onboarding, infection prevention and control practices, emergency preparedness, employee safety, and client satisfaction.

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 best independent living and home health professionals. We also met with older adults and their family members about the things that were important to them when choosing a place to live or in-home support. Using the fresh ideas and feedback from both operators and users of these services, Assurity was created to help you make the right choice.
