Some Assistance Program testimonials

  Hospitalized 4 days following an operation

“The Assistance Program was a good ally for me and my wife during my six-month recovery. This service allowed us to have support for housework and the preparation of certain meals. I was also able to pay the travel expenses of our loved ones who came to help us. To claim the allowable amounts, I simply had to present proof of hospitalization and a certificate signed by the people who came to help us. This service was greatly appreciated to cover the unexpected costs following my hospitalization.”

Hospitalized 4 days following an operation

“Even if I am not covered by my spouse’s health insurance policy, our advisor explained to me that I could benefit from the Assistance Program. After having undergone an operation which required complete rest, I was then able to receive domestic help services and pay the travel expenses of my daughter who came to help us with meals every weekend. Very good service, I still can’t believe it!”
