I use an emergency device that consists of a pendant that has a button on
it that you press if you need help. When you press the button it sends a
signal to a company which then calls you back on the phone to check if this
is a real emergency or if you hit the button by mistake. If they receive no
answer, they call the next number on the list (usually a neighbor or
someone close by). If that person doesn't answer,
they call the next person on the list (fire department, police, ambulance,
etc.). You can choose which number(s) they should call after they call you.
However, you do have to press the button on the pendant to activate this
system. If you have some movement somewhere on your body, perhaps you could
place the pendant where you could activate it.
