Your cell phone can also act as a emergency location device, we have 911E in this area.
My point, I am not sure a separate device and service is required. An app and possibly a small device will give you the same capability.

My Apple Watch does all those things and detects "falls". The problem is, if I'm at home I'm likely not wearing my watch because it needs charging. If I'm taking a shower, I'm not wearing it ... just because. If I'm doing some sort of work on my home, I might not be wearing it.
All those circumstances are the most likely situations for a "fall" or some other mishap. The majority of accidents happen at home, when I'm least likely to be wearing my watch.
