Proof of Life
Tânia,
As I don't usually work with medical translations, I am not sure, but I do have an 81 year old mother, so I know bit about taking care of elderly people.
A quick search on the net shows that the literal translation is used in this context:
http://voicevault.com/voice-biometric-solutions/proof-of-lif...
Ensure a beneficiary is who they claim to be
Easily authenticate social program claimants with a voice biometric proof of life solution for security and convenience.
Prevent identity theft, fraudulent claimants and overpayments.
Social programs, such as pension and social grant disbursements, are particularly susceptible to benefits fraud as many of the recipients live in remote locations far from financial institutions. While payment companies have provided electronic solutions for easy money transfers, the current system, of PINs and passwords, is easily manipulated and biometric safeguards that have been put in to place, such as expensive fingerprint readers, are not readily accessible to the elderly and those with disabilities.

life certificate
Diria assim...
In principle, therefore, the requirement for recipients of pensions to provide the paying institution with a life certificate is in conformity with EC law.

daily check
It doesn't look like the Portuguese, but from the context I think this is the right idea. Many security services have a system for checking to make sure the person is OK--i.e., making sure they are alive. It's not always a phone call. In nursing homes, the seniors have card or something like it that the hang on the doorknob when they get up in the morning.
This is a stretch, but this feature is the only one missing from the list of services in the Asker's text, and it's a very common feature.
