Map the response contacts

List who can respond nearby, who should receive app alerts and who should be contacted if the first person is unavailable.

Check the home environment

Consider entry access, phone reception, internet reliability, panic button placement and whether event verification is appropriate.

Review regularly

Response contacts, health context and device needs can change, so a monthly or quarterly review is helpful.
