Watch Fall - no call 911

Is it possible to set the watch for fall detection to only contact my ICE emergency contacts?

live with 24/7 caregivers and sometimes they are just in the next room or down the hall

I don't always need 911, and if I do, they would make the call after checking on me after a notification.

How do I turn off the fall notification automatically calling 911?

I bought the apple watch when in came out, I think that was, late 2020 ....

No.


It is all or nothing; notifications to both 911 and contacts, or none / neither.
