Can apple watch work with a patient call button

Is there an app and a call type button I can use with my watch?

I have an elderly parent that lives with us and would like to be able for her to buzz my watch or phone if she needs help.

iPhone SE, iOS 13

The only thing I can think of is to get her a watch and then she can buzz you with the walkie talkie app. An Apple watch is a good idea also if she fell and couldn't call for help. It would call an sos. That is the reason I got mine if I pass out and fall my watch will take care of calling 911 and then send a message to my emergency contacts that I am in trouble.
