If your MIL has wifi, buy her an Alexa and add the "Ask My Buddy" skill. Then you can add emergency contact numbers. So if you are "Joe" and adds you as a contact, and adds another emergency contact as "Mary" and adds another emergency contact "Fred," and she needs help, she can say, Alexa, call my buddy,"" and a text will be sent to everyone on her list indicating that she needs help. Or she can say, "Alexa, call my buddy Bob," and a text will be sent to Bob only. So if you have wifi and an Alexa, it is a free set-up. It works!! Or buy a few Echo dots at a lower cost and put them in a few different rooms of her house.
