I think there is something called MedicAlert. Its a necklace that she wears or bracelet that connects her with someone she knows and 911 button.

Living alone is great. I learned to do a house check every day. A couple times a day. Mostly the Kitchen.I have my son he is also epileptic. I check by the heaters.I have my little list. But a dog is good to because it also lessons the stress and can reduce seizures.Welcome!
 
I'm not sure if anyone has seen this but it seems like (if im understanding this right) there's a base which is programmed for 6 different numbers with a pre-recorded recording and can be activated by a pendent or some sort of "sensor pad" that's placed under your mattress. Essentially the way the pad works is it detects arradic movements also there is a monitor ?wire? that straps to your leg which detects elevated heart rates. In any event it carries a hefty price tag but could very well be worth it IMHO.
