Wireless Monitor or Alert device

So, my son is 19, I am in need of a device (waterproof/shockproof) that he can wear on his wrist or as a pendant that he can push on a button and have an alert signal trigger a similar device that I and my wife can wear around the house 24x7. He has a great set of lungs but at 3:00AM, I don't always hear him right away. Currently I always have to be within "hearing" in case he needs me. I cannot go outside or ev en into the garage because if he falls, needs to use the bathroom, is taking a shower, etc. I have to be present to hear and assist him. Anybody solved this problem??

- No, not interested in baby monitors, 3rd party alert systems, they have limited range, are too large, etc.

- Need simple, small, wearable, push button (prefer battery powered) alert & response devices with range min range of 100m.

Thanks

We solved this problem, along with many others with a service animal. now I don't have to worry if I forget to charge batteries our if im deep sleep. the dog is a big commitment and not to be taken lightly, but we'll worth it

Depending on your location, ie. how much interference you would get, but Walkie talkies may work. Our set is small, has a call button and can be clipped onto pants. There are also sets that can be worn like a watch. A pull cord alarm might work in the shower. Your medical supply store should be able to suggest something that would work in your home.

. I believe they also have a pendant with an alarm system.
Hope this helps,
