Consider getting a watch which will set off an alarm if you fall. If you don't need help you can turn it off. It "talks" to your cell phone. Both Apple and Samsung make them.

I agree - and one of the main reasons I purchased an Apple Watch. The watch is not only compatible with the iPhone, but it will also auto dial 911 unless the wearer responds that they are okay (it also asks if the wearer fell but is okay). The watch is not cheap, but there are no monthly subscription fees and it’s pretty reliable; it detected a fall when I was chopping ice in the driveway because my arm was making “abrupt” stops.
