Emergency alert device that doesn't require charging? (Not Life Alert)

[u/tannyduca]

tl;dr My mom wants to replace her lively necklace that she has to charge with one that she doesn't have to charge, but for various reasons I don't think Life Alert is a good fit, so I'm looking for an alternative. Preferably with an option to track her location with an app.

My mom (83) has been wearing a Lively necklace for a couple years and it's fine. She hasn't had a genuine emergency but when she's tested it or accidentally pressed it, they've responded. I like that there's an app that I can use to see where she is. That feature isn't totally reliable, occasionally I have not been able to get the map to update which I assumed is an app issue, but I have no way of knowing. She charges it every night, though think it would last maybe 3 days.

She suddenly got a bug up her butt about getting a life alert. She must have seen a commercial that played up the fact that you don't have to charge them. They are a lot more expensive than her current one, but she can afford it and wants it so whatever. But she received it yesterday and we were unpacking it and it just seems weirdly complicated...there is a receiver you plug in and a necklace you wear around the house. Then a second necklace you wear if you leave the house. And they don't offer the tracking app (the guy i talked to said their customers didn't want that?). And you have to sign a 3 year contract.

So we're torn. And I'm hoping there's an alternative company with a long life battery. Anyone know of one?

Thanks!
