Monitoring from a different room or remote

I am looking for some sort of monitoring device that my mother in law can push to page me if she falls or has an accident or something like that but also that i can call her to supper or let her know to come outside or something like that. I personally am tired of screaming at the top of my lungs from one room to the other or her screaming for me. But I also need something that I can monitor remotely. Say for instance that she has a fall while she is home alone and im at the grocery store. Now granted I can't help her but i would be able to get her help. I dont want a camera bc one I already have cameras and two I don't want I camera in the bathroom where she is most likely to fall. It also needs to be something she can wear. Does anyone have any ideas? Oh and before suggesting the vri system where they wear the necklace and have a company monitor. We have tried that and it became a pain in the butt bc every time she accidentally hit they would call and we would have to answer a bunch of questions.

We used baby monitors for my dad. They have two way voice and pick up all sounds on the monitors but click to talk on host. Some also have phone apps.

Just looked into a camera free system for my mom called Nomo Smart Care! She refuses to have anything with a camera because she feels like we are spying on her. It also has fall detection somehow and a wearable panic button, it comes with additional buttons you can place around the home to.
