How to silence all notifications but allow calls from anyone

My iphone 8 goes into Do Not Disturb at night. I love that it silences all notifications and allows telephone calls from my contacts to come through. My concern is that if my elderly parent has a medical emergency and the alarm company tries to notify me, the call may be from one of several different telephone numbers. How can I get Do Not Disturb to silence every sound except for incoming telephone calls from any number?

iPhone 5, iOS 10

What version of iOS are you running? I only have iOS 17 to look at.


Try going to Settings>Focus>Do Not Disturb. Tap on "People". Then, next to "Allow Calls From" select "Everybody".
