My aunt has dementia, and she sometimes falls and is unable to get up on her own. My uncle is hard of hearing, so when she falls and calls for him, he can't hear her. They have just been fortunate so far in that every time she has fallen, she's been able to find something near her to bang on something else until he hears her.

I'm looking for a wristband for my aunt to wear, with one simple button she can press to call my uncle with. I would like for the receiver to be a wristband that he can wear, with a sound and vibration to alert him. You'd think there would be a market for that kind of thing, but I just can't find one. Does anyone know of anything like that?

Edit: One or the other (or both) are often out in their yard or plant nursery, so something with a receiver in the house isn't a good solution for them.

I live in WA and am visiting relatives in coastal Texas. My mini-poodle is an indoor dog but goes outside to potty, and to hang out when we humans are outside. The environment seems to be disagreeing with him, as he's been licking and chewing at his skin. I just noticed this wound on him. It's on his tummy, near his loin. Does anyone recognize is as possibly being some sort of parasite?
