Where to find an alert system for MS disabled adult?

APS person today mentioned we could contact TCOG to see which medical alert systems they recommended. I am a caregiver for a 53yr old adult who needs some type of system to alert EMS/911 personnel. Is there a company that TCOG can suggest? We are also going to ask her Hospice nurse.

So, i guess you should contact TCOG. She has a hospice nurse?

What I was asking has nothing to do with Hospice, please read this carefully. We were told today by Texas Adult Proctective Services that TCOG could recommend a medical alert system. Forget Hospice.

We are not TCOG. Hospice requires someone be with the patient at all times, 24/7. You cannot leave the patient alone at any time. If they find the patient alone, they contact APS. Medical alerts are not an acceptable alternative to someone being there all the time.
