Daddy is self sufficient for the most part. He sometimes has weak spells with dizziness. I can’t go outside without worrying he might fall. Is the an alert system that allows him to contact me without it alerting 911 emergency?

Siri or Alexa can handle him asking to call you. Carry your cell phone at all times.

Ereppond: Perhaps he can use Alexa.

I use this with my Dad.

it is from Amazon it is a pager that he can wear along with 3 doorbell chimes for you to put anywhere in the house you want. I put one on his bed, one on back of toilet and the other in on the kitchen table which he can put it in around his neck. It works great even wakes me up at night if his blood sugar gets really low.

We use Eufy (amazon) tilt and pan. It actually will track movement! It was 35.00 and you have to buy the memory card. It will alert you to movement and noise (but I don’t use the noise part). No contract! No contract! That is a big deal for me. It also is always on, so i have it on my tablet on the table so I can see mom all the time. If there is movement, that is when it records. I have had blink and ring, this is the best. Easy to set up, uses 2.4 ghz,

My dad was similar, We got a "Memory Phone" It has pictures of the people it is set up to call or who can cal him. No one else can call in and he can not misdial and call someone else. Look under RAZ Mobility LLC.

If you have Alexa he could say "Alexa call Ereppond" and a call would be made to you. He could no t call 911 using Alexa
You would have to keep your cell phone on you at all times.

This depends on how far outside you want to go and on his capabilities but some baby monitors work at a longer distance or will connect to your phone, another option is a wireless doorbell system where he carries the button and you carry the bell.

Most call systems that exist do cost about what a cheap consumer cellular or lively phone cost. Such a phone can be attached with a sort of shoulder "holster" device so Dad can press a direct dial number to you.

I hope others have some other options for you.
There are many alert and call devices out there and I think that an online search might come up with some suggestions.
