Will fall detection work for my grandfather if I buy him an Apple Watch and set it up using my phone? He does not live near me and can not see or hear very well and does not use a phone

Will fall detection work for my grandfather if I buy him an Apple Watch and set it up on my phone? I also have an Apple Watch so would family sharing work? He does not live near me.

He is hard of hearing and bad eyesight so he does not use a phone or any electronics.

sincerely,
