My mother is failing, she frequently either leaves the phone out of its cradle or doesn't put it back on the cradle correctly, this phone line is linked to her panic button she had a severe fall before Christmas (five facial fracture's), narrowly escaping facial reconstruction. On that occasion she rang my sister from her mobile, but if she couldn't have found her mobile the landline phone had been off the hook, her panic bracelet wouldn't have worked.
At this moment in time she will not countenance leaving her home and going into sheltered accommodation.
She has a mobile or as my nephew calls it a static, because she does not carry it with her, so despite all of us calling her mobile yesterday it was late evening before we could alert her.
You can only ask neighbours so often, would rather keep them for a real crisis.
So question is, can I in the UK drop in on her in Ireland once permissions have been enabled at her end ?? Failing that my brother lives in the next county (Meath)and I could buy an Alexa for him to use.
But he and my sister and their spouses do lots and I would like to feel I was helping from here. IYKWIM
And also has anyone used it successfully.
TIA
