So sorry. Let me add these suggestions after two friends fell in the shower and could not get up to reach the phone on the bathroom counter.

1) Wear waterproof alert equipment,

2) hang the phone* so it can be reached from the floor near the shower and retrieved without bending over to the floor.

* in a bag

Both friends had friends who lived out-of-town and who called the local police to do a welfare check when phone calls were not returned.

Both ended up in a rehab facility and soon moved to a senior complex. One nearly died after three days on the bathroom floor naked.

That is terrible about that poor person who lay naked three days on the floor! That is why you need a phone close. You never know what can happen! Good suggestion! What do you mean by water proof alert equipment?
Thanks!
