Total Prepare provides independent living emergency supplies, food and water to Independent living facilities throughout Canada. Emergency preparedness is essential for everyone, however, when it comes to Independent Senior Living Facilities, having a solid emergency plan is important to ensure the continued wellbeing of all residents, in the event of disaster.  

Older adults in Independent Senior Living Facilities may have limited mobility, medical needs, or cognitive challenges that make emergency responses significantly more complex. Due to the unique needs of senior residents, facilities must go beyond standard emergency planning.  

Facilites require carefully structured protocols, well-trained staff, and the right resources to maintain safety, dignity, and continuity of care under pressure. Emergency planning must prioritize the specific needs of seniors to reduce preventable harm. That includes targeted support, individualized emergency plans, and accessible resources.  

That’s where Total Prepare comes in. With over 12 years of experience, we have a reputation built on quality products, expert guidance, and a commitment to helping communities stay safe and ready for the unexpected. Our goal is to ensure that every senior resident is equipped and ready to respond appropriately when disaster strikes. At Total Prepare, we specialize in helping independent senior living communities expand and develop their essential emergency supplies, allowing them to be prepared for any emergency. Contact Total Prepare to discuss your independent living emergency supplies and learn how we can help protect your residents when extra support is needed.

Comprehensive Emergency Kits for All Scenarios 

One-size-fits-all emergency kits don’t always work for senior populations, due to the unique and differential needs many seniors have, as compared to the general population. At Total Prepare, we offer multiple variations of emergency kits, perfect for customizing to the specific needs of seniors in residential care. These kits include: 

• 72 Hour Individual Essentials Kit: This is the kind of kit you want to keep everywhere as it’s lightweight and easily portable. Affordably priced so you can buy multiple kits to keep in your car or home. Perfect for those who have mobility issues or cannot lift heavy items.

Within Independent Senior Living Facilities, emergency preparedness is not just about protecting residents; it also critically depends on the safety and readiness of the staff. During emergencies, staff members are the front-line responders who ensure residents continue to receive the care, supervision, and support they need. Having adequate staff emergency supplies is essential to maintain operations, protect health, and reduce burnout during high-stress events. At Total Prepare we offer a variety of workplace kits, perfect for staff.

Option to scale up the kits depending on the number of employees.  

• Workplace Cabinets – 10 Person/70 Person: A professionally compiled 72-hour kit built with 50-year shelf-life water. These Emergency Cabinets are made from strong heavy-gauge steel and perfect for any office, warehouse, or organization.
