Mil has mild dementia and lives 1.5 hrs away. She does not answer the phone when we - anyone - calls. The phone is working and we gave installed a cover over the socket so she can't unplug it. She says she does not hear the phone but she does. Problem is, if we ring for days and can't get her, she may have fallen or had an Accident and We can't drive down every time we think this has happened!
Mil has no friends or neighbours nearby. What can we do?
Is a pendant thingie our only option? We have talked to her loads about thus and how important it us that we can talk to her and check she's ok, but it's in one ear and out the other...
